Ahh, the weekends

I'm a little bit surprised by how little I get done at home now that I'm working. When I get home at 6:00 or 7:00, I don't feel like doing anything productive. And as a result, clothes and mail and unread emails pile up. This trend has been compounded by the fact that last weekend I was down in Connecticut. Saturday I went to watch Tufts win NESCACs and also participate in an open race featuring a bunch of alums. (Oh boy, not so pretty...) And Sunday I was visiting a Tufts friend, Emily Macy, who coaches at Conn College. The weekend was great. Dan and I used my new Zipcar membership to get down there, which was pretty awesome.

This weekend, I got the chance to catch up on all that stupid other stuff that I mentioned getting behind on. That's not really worthy of being in the blog I suppose, but today's adventure might be. Our house of five is down to just Dan and myself this weekend (Nate went home to NH, Peter and Brian are in NYC) so we decided there was only one logical thing for the two of us to do on Sunday... spend some time in the kitchen. We checked out Epicurious for some ideas, and came up with a marinade and a risotto dish that will hopefully last us for a few meals.

Ambitious? Probably. Tasty? We'll see.
