the perfect Friday night

after a month of traveling for work, vacationing with family and friends i was so ready for a relaxing weekend at home in DC.

this spring weather has been so nice, but Friday night the clouds rolled in, temps dropped and i was happy to have a night in.

enter the recipe for the perfect friday evening in

listening to a little Al Green on vinyl

cooking a comforting, simple pasta dish + a  glass of vino (or two - hey, it's friday)

fried zucchini spaghetti from gwyneth paltrow's cookbook: my father's daughter

follow-up with a little Netflix...bliss!  doesn't hurt that i also managed to do 4 loads of laundry while simultaneously enjoying the evening.
