Home again, home again
Have been back home for a few hours now. Just relaxing, reading, napping, and cleaning up a bit. Think I will fetch the C-Man after his nap. Debated going to work for a few hours, but decided not to (big surprise there).
Vegas was fun. We did much of our usual -- shopping and eating. Then more shopping and eating. We did get in some gambling time and we went to watch a band play at the bar for Chris' little pre-wedding party. It did remind me of college, we haven't all hung out for a really long time (at a bar). Chris says we need to move our girl's day out to Vegas, now that she & Rob are living there. The wedding ceremony was lovely. Very simple. Dinner at Le Cirque at the Bellagio. Very good. Here's my dinner:
Hot Appetizer: Foie Gras de Canard Poêlé aux Fruits de Saison
Sautéed Foie Gras with Seasonal Fruits, Dried Cherries, Cranberries and Apricots
Dinner: Magret de Canard au Miel et Noisettes, Figue, Navet Long et Cassis
Honey Duck Magret and Hazelnuts, Fig, Daikon Radish and Blackcurrant
For dessert, the chef created a bunch of different dishes and we just passed them around. All of them were very yummy. My dessert was a nest of spun sugar topped with a dish of strawberry gelee covered with strawberry foam with chocolate crunchie things and raspberries, with a scoop of raspberry sorbet a squiggle of dark chocolate and covered w/a sliver of gold. Very nice.

My mood: exhausted, but glad to be home.
