perspective! Little on the bawdy side (no!), but only a little, just enough to keep us laughing the entire time. I'll have to watch my f-bombs so we don't end up with an explicit rating! And Susie and Kim, they'll have to watch everything else, they will say anything. Love that about them. Love my girls!Today and tonight, keepin' it pretty real, ha. Very exciting things like getting gas, a car wash, candy for Nathan's class valentines (damn near forgot about VDay, oops), folding laundry, getting some sort of exercise, etc... Everymom's day. We're in tonight, I'm thinking a simple pasta, perhaps all'Amatriciana, from Michael Chiarello's Casual Cooking, basically pasta with tomatoes and onion, bit of bacon, few pepper flakes for some heat. It's absolutely one of my favorites. (Recipe posted in comments, below.) Need to rest up for tomorrow...
...when we'll be out for Valentine's Day with Susie and Cory, Kim and Brian. Woo hoo! Nice, casual dinner at Wildfire Grill, we girls will attempt to keep the shrieking to a minimum. I think.
Spaghetti - or in this case, bucatini - all'Amatriciana was delicious. Served it with a simple salad, romaine and arugula tossed very lightly with good olive oil and a dash of red wine vinegar with sea salt and pepper. I baked John a chocolate cake for VD - I'm such a good wife! He's eating it right now talking to himself about how fucking awesome it is so there you go, it must be pretty darn tasty. I'm actually abstaining, 
I'm full enough from pasta and salad and shockingly don't really need it! And then I'm getting it out of here by sending it with John to work tomorrow - I'm more likely to eat sweets mid-afternoon than after dinner. So, fare thee well, VD chocolate cake. You belong on someone else's lips, not mine...
