That earthquake woke me up and I could not sleep afterward, my screen room divider
And china hutch were moving so much I was worried. My building moves a lot anyway, I'm always playing Truck or Earthquake? and last night it was most definitely OMG Earthquake!!!
Yesterday, before the excitement I has leftover BBQ ribs with mustardy sauce from Sneaky's, and I cooked an osso bucco for Sunday lunch. It came out so well!!! It wasn't done until 10:30 and then it needed to cool before the fridge.
Today, our "framily" lunch was the osso bucco over cheesy polenta, the gremolata and an avocado and tomato salad, plus consommé cups of Safeway's tomato bisque, which was really good. Another divorced friend joined us, her first weekend without her kids due to a new shared custody schedule. It's perfect that she joined us as this is the point of our framily Sunday meal, offsetting the loneliness and increasing our sense of community.
There was a divine moment where we all stopped eating and said this is one of those supremely happy moments that we want to freeze forever.
My friend made Thai iced tea from scratch! Delicious. But the boba would just not soften, we were wondering how old they were to refuse to cook!!
The adrenalin from the earthquake gave me a migraine but I managed to make lunch and enjoy a little wine. Right now I'm lounging in an easy chair in the sun while my friends play Monopoly in Japanese!
Next weekend is tacos.
