Happy Risotto Day!

Okay, I know its "Turkey Day". But I'm having risotto. It's just the three of us this year we're dining out at Chef Geoff's in Tysons Corner where they have a lovely Thanksgiving Day three course prix fixe menu. I've studied it and the butternut risotto with pumpkin seed oil and grilled scallops is on my agenda.


We're hanging around the house this morning, and sadly, cleaning. It's a day off at home with bad weather outside and it seems like a good idea. Another good idea would be to never buy cloth honeycomb blinds for a kitchen in house where a child lives. I spent 30 minues scrubbing stains off them. Gross. And Bob just went crazy on the microwave. How does it get so dirty?


Here's Connor in his first grade native american costume. Too funny. The vest is made from a shopping bag with handles. I told him he had to wear it to the restaurant today and he freaked out.



Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
