Taking tomorrow off

Decided to take a hard-won and much-needed break tomorrow. Sadly, it's going to result in a lot of errand-running, but the good news is that I'll be able to kick back and enjoy the weekend.

Bill and Jen's second child, Connor, is celebrating his first birthday on Saturday, so we'll be over at their place from noon 'til 3pm to fete the boy. In the evening, Matt and I are hosting a small gathering in honour of his birthday, and also 'cause it's been a while since the gang got together.

It looks like I'm going to try my hand at making gheymeh on Sunday, in time for Chris to pass through our place from Italy, back to Moncton. He was craving Persian food the last time he was in town, and gheymeh is a very tasty (and apparently fairly simple) stew.
