John and I had quite a busy weekend ourselves; after an office outing to the paintball grounds where I landed more shots than I took (although the hits to my collarbone and the back of the head are still purple!), we had a great friend over for Friday night fish tacos and margaritas. Brioche french toast and fruit was such a perfect Saturday brunch that we repeated it on Sunday, but between our scrumptious breakfasts we had a small dinner party! I made a paella Valencia and John served a beautiful Malbec, but the homemade port syrup we drizzled over Three Twins ice cream was the culinary star of the evening. And as if there weren't enough delicious meals packed into a single weekend, John's Aunt Jenny, her son Walt and an old family friend joined us for a Sunday supper in Hayes Valley's charming Suppenküche-to say I'm still full is an understatement!
Tell me, darlings, how did you while away your weekend? Floating in the pool eating ice pops, or watching the newest Harry Potter in a well air-conditioned theater?

Full, but it sounds like it was worth it!
ReplyDeleteWe usually do fish tacos on Friday nites, too. :]
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was sad & boring. I've been a little sick, so I did homework & saw Harry Potter.
I've been craving Paella since I saw Bobby Flay make it on Food Network a couple of weeks ago.
Homemade port syrup over ice cream?! Mmmm delicious! You had such an adventurous weekend!! Relatives were in town so we played tour guide :) 'Twas fun, but good to be back! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeletestill no Potter for me. I am saving it for my day off Wednesday lol.. I spent the weekend with my dear friend and her son watching Winnie the Pooh, having our nails done, splash parks, and watching movies with my sister and planning meals.. good times :)
ReplyDeleteI am reveling in your delicious weekend! Sounds wonderful!

We started the weekend early with the midnight showing a HP7.2. My hubby and I stole away to San Antonio for our anniversary! It was lovely - the riverwalk is amazing and the food delicious!
ReplyDeleteport syrup? yes please :)
ReplyDeletewe spent the weekend at the beach in Malibu- it was divine- the weather was perfect and not a bit of traffic- anywhere in the whole city.
ReplyDeleteI love ice-cream with port- so good- it's been awhile- I guess I'm always making it for the monkeys too-
It sounds like you had a marvelous weekend! Ours was filled with work, but lovely work! A darling intimate wedding and work with new clients, so we can't ask for more! Looking forward to seeing the last {sad} HP when we are back in Seattle next week!
ReplyDeletesounds like you had a fun weekend! Happy to hear it - I mostly caught up on household chores - did a costco run. Nothing too exciting!

I tried so hard to comment on this yesterday but the page would never load. Hmmph! I so badly wish I could spend some time with you. Your weekends sound so dreamy all the time and I love the idea of joining you guys for a dinner party of a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteHow I have missed you and all of your loveliness!! What a fun weekend you had!! Your food pairings sound delish! I love an impromptu dinner party! We spent the weekend welcoming a new "member" of our family. ;) So lots of time in the backyard with the sprinklers on and enjoying the nights by the fire eating smores. Hope you are having a lovely beginning of the week! xo Samantha
