This President’s Day weekend we had nothing much planned so we played it by ear day to day. On Saturday we got out the game Risk, which Natalie got for Christmas. After an hour or so or reading through the rules, the game commenced. It actually lasted through Monday. I won’t say who won, and I won’t say who was yellow, defending Europe to the bitter end. But I will say that is was great fun. Natalie had a blast.
On Sunday we headed down to the San Jose Museum of Art to check out the M.C. Escher exhibit. The Escher was pretty cool, with lots of his most important prints. The museum itself was small, compared to some of the San Francisco museums, but all of the exhibits we saw were incredibly engaging. Highly recommended.
Monday we baked up the focaccia that I started preparing late Sunday evening. It was my first focaccia, a recipe taken from The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, but it turned out pretty stellar. Edie said it was the best bread she’d ever eaten.
