Weekend Update

Sometimes we have to squeeze a weekend into a short period of time, and I must say we are getting pretty good at it.

Saturday at 4:45 PM: I enter the door and find a nice snack to enjoy courtesy of the husband -- goat gouda, fresh bread, sliced tomatoes, roasted piquillo peppers.

We head off to Southern Season to pick up a birthday gift, and stop at discount store in search of sheets. Success with the birthday gift, not so much with sheets.

The plan for the evening was to find three restaurants to serve as our own personal Durham Food Crawl. Cocktail, Entree and Dessert.

1) Cocktail -- Vin Rouge for a Lillet Blanc, oysters smothered in cheese and cream.
2) Entree -- Piedmont for NC Tuna, Risotto, more Lillet
3) Dessert -- Nana's for Blackberry basil sorbet and shortbread cookies.

What an enjoyable evening to reconnect with some friends and outstanding Durham eateries.
