Mom’s the word update: I had such a lazy weekend that Monday was a rude awakening.

Our dinner at Luna Bistro on Friday evening was amazing – per usual. I started out with my favorite salad, Grilled Romaine House, then moved on to the Spring Chicken Cassoulet (that sauce!). Even though I could have just finished there, I topped it off with the Chocolate Pot de Creme which included toffee bits that tasted like heaven.

Here are a few other photos from the past weekend – like I said, I did nothing.

Sometimes it is hard to want to write a blog post about something so tragic, but the events that unfolded earlier today during the Boston Marathon are on my mind. I can’t even begin to believe how the runners, friends and families that were affected by the bombings are feeling as they try to make some sense out of what happened.

Hug your loved ones tonight, and remember to say a few…
