I came home from my week long business trip on Friday evening feeling a bit run down. Saturday I spent the majority of the day laying low. I napped several times, a clear message from my body that I've been pushing too hard. Chris had been talking all day about a new recipe that she saw on Jamie Oliver's new show on Food Network. Around 5pm I was feeling better so we teamed up and prepared Jamie's "Cheat's Pappardelle with Slow-Braised Leeks and Crispy Porcini Pangrattato" I honestly had never tried Leeks before so I wasn't sure what to expect. We also made the pasta from scratch which is the best way to ensure a killer dish! We spend a fun couple of hours in the kitchen prepping, cooking sipping wine and catching up on each others week. The meal was amazing, one I know we'll make again. It was great way to spend time together and have a delicious meal to share with the family.
Chris has a Cookie Lee show this afternoon. She and Catie will be working there most of the afternoon. My sister Julie and her family will be in Minneapolis for a several hour layover on their way home from Sacramento, CA. I plan on meeting them at the Mall of America to spend some time together. Then tonight, we make some popcorn and snuggle up on the couch to watch the Oscars.
