Saturday
It was a glorious morning Saturday with the temp just right for running. I did one loop of my regular bike route and the warm up route to make it 14 miles. Then a quick shower and preperation for the dinner party that I had Saturday nite.
D48
The rest of the day was spent getting ready for the dinner party (Dinner for Eight or D48) but my eight people ended up being nine. So I didn't want to put the second leaf in my table so I put two people at the head of the table to may everyone fit. Since my theme was Italian...My menu was totally Italian. Here's what I made... Mozzarella and tomatoes with fresh basil & EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), breasetta on crustini, mixed green salad with a strawberry vinergrette, and for the main course.. Oldman's Mediterranean Chicken (chicken breasts with black & green olives, sundried tomatoes & raisins), Risotto Milanesse and Carrots with Italian herbs. I served a Tuscan red wine Monte Antioch. Dessert was Cannolis with coffee....
Sunday
I met Tony for our weakly LSD ride. The morning temp was just right for a nice ride. We just did an easy tempo for 55 miles although I did see 24 mph on the straight-a-way. The rest of the day, after I cleaned my china and stemware putting the dining room table back together etc., was spent relaxing around and in the pool. I didn't feel like doing much of anything.

Yum...are you cooking for us on the weekend of IMFL???
What a fun time! I would love the lounging by the pool part. Still kind of chilly here!
Mmm, sounds like a very delicious meal. What's cookin' next weekend?
I second flatman's nomination of Oldman as Chef de IMFL06! :)
I am not allowed to cook. Oh not by my wife but by the local fire department and my home warranty insurance adjuster. I was once told to go make some chili, by the adjuster, b/c he knew I would break something and finally cover the deductable to get the kitchen replaced.
So good on you for being an excellent chef. I certainly dont have it in me. And great workouts just amzaing.
