To distract from this distressing week of news (and some personally sad stuff that has left my heart seriously dented), I’m having my two bestest friends over this weekend for an Iron Man movie marathon.

To appeal to our adult tastebuds, I’m fixing bruschetta and boursin cheese with fresh herbs from my little garden for appetizers/snacks. To keep with the Marvel theme and appeal to our inner kids, our main meal will be hamburgers and fries with snow cones - choice of cherry or grape - for dessert. There will also be wine, frozen margaritas, rum & coke, mohitos…

So looking forward to Saturday.
