a Weekend in the Country II: Pink Wigs and Kumquats

we had a fantastic time in CT with MS and Nil! MS's new place is absolutely gorgeous with tons of light and a fantastic open feeling. she has such wonderful ideas for decorating, furnishing and painting. it was alot of fun getting to spend time with her and Nil (who i'm glad came despite her Sig-Oth's fender bender); sometimes all you really need is to hang out with people who've known you forever whilst eating, laughing, drinking and eating s'more (though the drinking did leave me feeling like the cat's ass, come 11pm; MS makes an absolutely deadly Dirty Grey Goose Martini). speaking of food and drink, somehow i was able to stay on Weight Watchers, despite the desserts we brought and the food MS had.

i tried Huevas Rancheros for the 1st time this weekend! MS is a wonderful cook and made breakfast yesterday! this will definitely become part of my culinary repertoire. who'd have thunk that Eggs and Re-fried beans would taste so good? Oooh! and kumquats, MS had kumquats, too! have you ever had one? they're like a cross between lemons and clemantines: sweet and tart all at the same time.
it was just terrific to be out of the city, with the girls. we talked about the wedding, sex, MS's new placeand all the plans she had for it, sex, puppy adoption, sex, and Nil's adventures in the bible belt. i'm really glad we were all able to get together and i'm hoping we can do it again very soon, but with April completely booked with Pampered Chef shows every weekend, it's gonna probably be May before i see either of them again. well, at least there are pictures...
