We ate well, if richly last night with our friends. K ate exactly what I said he would. These friends have gone through the horrors of renovation and it seems we're a normal case if you can believe that. They think that in the end, it will be worth it. Quite often, the renovation companies send in these young, inexperienced guys who don't care about your house and it's your job to keep a close eye on things and in many cases, do your own cleanup. They think nothing of covering up garbage in between the frame and the drywall, less work for them to do. I still believe some people can luck out and find the contractor in a million who cares about doing a good job. They're usually very busy and you would have to wait a long time for them to be free. Our friends went so far as to say marriages can break up due to the stress of renovation! You do see a different side of your partner.
I'm going to make some salmon cakes today with leftover baked salmon. L sounds like she did some good shopping south of the border and is coming home with new boots and Victoria Secret stuff. She's growing up so fast.

OK, how's this for having an American mindset... When you said "south of the border" I thought you meant Mexico! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love salmon cakes. I bet yours were delicious!
That's funny, it's all relative to where you are, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe salmon cakes are good, maybe I could've put a bit more salt.
Today feels like a Sunday, don't know why.
