The tryptophan is kicking in hard...along with all the wine & cordials I drank over the course of the afternoon (we ate around 2:00 p.m.). After dessert we took a stroll around the block with our guests & two dogs before I cleared the wreckage of pies, dirty dishes, & crumb-covered tablecloth from the dining room. It was fun to sit back & relax over multiple glasses of wine imbibed with both sons, my aunt, & my husband--it happens all too infrequently!
In the course of the day, the 13 year old had to be reminded she's grounded until at least Monday, which ruined her mood for dessert. (She wants to attend a local high school football playoff game tomorrow & we denied her this privilege--imagine that!) Yes, we're cruel, unusual jerks--and next time maybe she'll think twice before she shoots her mouth off at school, which is what got her grounded in the first place.
Meanwhile our cat is happier than he's been in months, all because I cooked up the giblets just for him. Me-yum!
More tomorrow when my tryptophan coma lifts. ;)
