Out with a ring

2010 went out with a bang. And a ring. A rosewood ring, to be exact. My sister Annie is engaged to this lovely guy and the two have happily started planning for the day, tentatively set for early October.

When your wedding checklist starts with Pickle cucumbers for the reception and ends with Bake communion bread you know you'd better start planning early. Annie and Adam are eager to share their schemes for a homemade wedding, and Peter and I are just as eager to listen in and cheer them on. So the four of us had a double date last night on Skype, just to dream a bit about the day.


In the midst of it we threw a couple hand-tossed pizzas in our oven and Adam stirred the Lebanese beans and rice on their stove. Miles apart, but just a table top away, our simple Skype date brought new meaning to the idea of Sunday family supper.
