Just because I'm out of town....

…doesn’t mean I won’t be cooking. although it probably does mean that Tom won’t be eating as well. My parents celebrated their 38th anniversary yesterday, so tonight we are going to cook a delicious meal together. Mom told me to plan it, so I chose: Susan Spicer’s Mediterannean Roast Shrimp over Risotto Cakes, celery and Granny Smith remoulade, Claudia’s Moroccan Carrot Salad (my mom cannot get enough of it) and some gorgeous bread and dipping oil. Mom has some big plans for Veuve Cliquot and an Italian red she and Dad have been waiting to enjoy. Who can turn any of that down?! Thank god migraine left around noon today so I can enjoy.
