"Where the oranges grew..."
I'm a little disappointed in Sara Lee. For dessert last night, I made some Chocolate-Strawberry Paninis, which were delicious. However, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Sara Lee's begun to skimp on their pound cakes (And I've eaten enough pound cake over the course of my lifetime to be pretty sure that my memory's not wrong about this). I distinctly remember as a kid opening the pound cake tin, and the cake itself would fill it up all the way to the top. The one I bought yesterday only filled the tin halfway up. Perhaps I got a mistake cake that made it off the production line anyway...Even still. I suppose it's not that big of a deal, as the paninis were rich enough that they were just the right amount of sweetness to cap off last night's cheesy baked pasta feast.
Inga & Mike had fun (I think) while they were here. The baby cousins had fun scoping each other out. It was nice having people to entertain, and it's nice that the house it still clean. I should pull out more of the bambino's toys and whatnot, as it kind of has the feel that it did before he was born. Someday, I should have Jen & Dave over for a game night or something. That's something Jen & I have talked about doing for months now...And now that Jay & I have a house, and Jen & Dave are in the process of buying a new one, perhaps it'll work out. Neither Jen or I is particularly interested in trolling the bars much anymore.
The snow we got Thursday is beginning to melt...It started to yesterday, but by tomorrow, it's supposed to be up into the 60s, so I think a lot of it will disappear this afternoon. Which is nice. I really hope this is the last of winter we'll see for many months. I'd love to be able to start taking walks in the evenings after dinner.
