Quiet Weekend

Nicole and I are taking it easy this weekend. Nicole had yesterday off so she cleaned the house and made a great dinner. We had beef roast with a white wine sauce with mashed potatoes. She also made 2 different Creme Brulee's, one was leeks and cheese and the other was a dessert with butterscotch and pecans. She got this new torch for Christmas and now she is nuts about Creme Brulee. We watched a very good movie last night called My Sister's Keeper. I thought it was going to be a dreaded "chick flick" but it was very good, in fact it is one of the best movies I have seen in quite some time. I don't know if anyone watches movie award shows, but the SAG awards and the Golden Globes have been raving about Quentin Tarantino's new movie called Inglorious Basterds. It is a graphically violent comedy about a 8-man death squad lead by Jewish Americans. They are put in the middle of France, but at the time of WWII when France was occupied by Germany. The role of this death squad, each guy had to kill 100 Nazi's. The dialogue and story line were very good, but the violence was absolutely over the top and we struggled to get through the movie. We watched it with the Snyder's and Nicole thought it was the worst movie she had ever seen. So, she got to pick this week and she picked a great movie, My Sister's Keeper.
Nicole is on call this weekend and Fairview only had one kid to see today so she is going to wait until tomorrow to go in that way she only has to make one trip. We went to Yoga this morning and tonight Brent and I are cooking our wives dinner. The menu should be pretty good.
Asian Style BBQ Wings for an appetizer
Pear/Walnut Vinagrette Salad
Pecan Crusted Pork Loin
Pistachio Pudding for dessert
I probably couldn't pull it off without Brent's help, he's very good in the kitchen.
Have a great weekend!
