weekend pics

the highlight this weekend was reconnecting with old friends, a sweet and fun loving couple.  it was like no time had passed and, as per our tradition, the men prepared dinner, we indulged in wine, and good conversation and company was had.  

the only difference was that they are now a family of four with a darling baby and playful dog in tow.  and, omg, aren't leo's cheeks made for pinching!  kai and bole had such fun - and i mean, laugh out loud giggles!  bole, their hungarian pointer, is hyper yet so very gentle.  seeing the two of them play ignited my need for a dog.

although all of the dinner was executed perfectly - herb rubbed chicken, pea puree, roasted pepper salad - my favourite was the strawberry soufflé.  a gorgeous light dessert that i would happily consume again anytime soon.  so much goodness was to be had saturday night.



individual appetizer plates were served!



 





bole wanted in on the dessert action :)





the rest of the weekend was pretty quiet.  stefan made the most flaky and beautiful flatbreads, kai's ban on video games was temporarily lifted, and i read the new conde nast traveler - amazingly redesigned by pilar guzman - and bon appetit magazines cover to cover.  such pleasure.

 



 

i hope there was some goodness in your weekend too.
