In the rush to grade two classes of papers, I didn't get around to accomplishing much else that wasn't deemed utterly important - dishes, laundry, etc. And, as you've already ascertained, a blog update didn't come up in the cards.
I spent a rather lovely weekend in Pittsburgh with Matt. We hung out with friends on Friday and Saturday nights, made spaetzle, braved Ross Park Mall to do a bit of shopping, and indulged in sweets from the French bakery in Millvale. In addition, playing our new Civil War board game, I managed to lose Second Manassas for the Confederacy. Mea culpa on that one...
Speaking of the sweets, check out this picture I took of our selected macarons!
From the upper left corner: Raspberry; PB&J; Espresso; Peach; Vanilla Bean; and Nutella. (The plate is Terence Conran for Royal Doulton, in case you were interested.)
They were utterly sublime. Jean-Marc's Black Forest Cake and Croissants were just as good, believe me!
