Tonight's dinner consisted of Caesar salad, popovers, Sakai salmon, and lemon risotto..with fresh spinach for garnish. I did my best to make it a special dinner as it is Andrew last night home before heading to Old Orchard Beach. I figure if nothing else, I can lure him back with good cooking:-)

Work has been incredibly busy this week. I consistently feel like I am two days behind. Luckily I was able to convince my boss to take Friday off, so I am hoping to be able to catch up a bit before the weekend.

Things continue along as usual on the NY front...Andrew and I spent last Saturday driving to south jersey and back for a wedding gig I had with the "Optimus Quartet." Unfortunately through a series of unexpected transportation events, I ended up not making any money..In fact, I think I ended up paying about $15 to go to a random wedding and play the cello..I also came home with large blisters on the bottom of my feet which made the whole experience seem that much worse.

Cautionary words from the experienced: Don't rent a car until you are 25. The Hackensack train station is not 3 blocks from Budget car rental..its 1.5 miles. Sorry Erin, but cheap shoes from Ross are not worth it.
