Bear Family Visitor

Meet my sister - she came ALL THE WAY from the Netherlands to cook us this fabulous Wiener Schnitzel. It was very yummy. Shhh - nobody tell my mother-in-law that I have yet to cook this from my Deutsch Kochbuch myself. As far as she knows, I was the happy assistant in creating this wonderful meal. 

So what was Dasha doing then, you ask???  Getting out the Christmas party invites! Almost done now.

And furniture shopping with Husband - we finally, after 1 year, agree on some bar stools and chairs so Visitors, you will have a place to sit when you visit Urban Disco

Do you like?

(chairs to go with our opaque dark gray soap stone table)

And the barstools are the pump design (directly below) but with the red back shown in the second picture

And then of course eating, the one thing I always find time for  :-)

Sizzlin!

Me and JT cooked Fajitas tonight. It was actually pretty easy to make and they were delicious.

I am beginning to realize the benefits of cooking at home. Since I like surprises, waiting to see how they taste is near top of the list.  Sitting down to have dinner with Yahtzee at home and making time to share together is the  #1.  I think what they say about the way to a man's heart is true...

In fact, it was a sizzlin' weekend all around - we went to Bell House in Brooklyn on Friday night and saw Dandy Warhols.  Do you remember that song "Last High" and "Bohemian Like You" ?  - they are still rockin' tunes very similar to those.  

Then Yahtzee surprised me with tickets to see Rock of Ages on Broadway for Saturday night. It was a much racier show than we realized - and Dee Snider from Twisted Sister had a part in it too. There was lots of hair and bad outfits.  I miss the 80s. Totes singing along to Sister Christian, We Built this City and Final Countdown.  It was a blast from the past for sure and yo!  I WANNA TO ROCK.

I hope your weekend was just as fun.
