saturday night, diana and i went out to yann and sarah's apartment downtown for dinner. they live in a beautiful, huge, two bedroom apartment that's all new and looks like the setting for a really good catalog photo shoot. it is definitely homey and comfortable, but was a huge contrast to our cozy (aka small) house, under renovation. they made bouillabaisse, olive tapenade on bread, and an apple tart for dessert. this meal, in combination with the pork we had at andrew and xan's a couple nights ago, made us really want to start cooking more at home. a really great visit. we hadn't met sarah before, and felt really comfortable with her after about four minutes.
sunday, john 'weincek' kinzie came to TBM to help hang drywall. john had asked to learn how to do this, a he is planning on tearing out some bad plaster at his two flat before his mother-in-law moves in. we had a great day, very productive. even threw some mud up onto the joints in my office, to show him how that works. lunch was at kaufmann's, of course.
sunday night i went out to my folk's house to have a short visit with my sister and her family, who drove in sunday afternoon from sioux city, IA. we had a fire in the fireplace, and the girls were very pleasant i was impressed.
