Rachel had a playdate with her school friend, Giada, today while I worked on a story for the magazine I edit. Apparently they had a fantastic time. Giada's mom, Sharon, is like us -- she cooks on the weekends and then they eat the food during the week; when Drew got there she was making a big pot of chili.
I got an e-mail today from a woman we met at synagogue a couple of months ago when services were held outside. She said her daughter, Naomi, always looks for Rachel at temple events and was wondering when she'd get to see her again (specifically if she'd be at a Tu b'shevat service tomorrow, which we may or may not make, depending on when we get up; I have to interview a prospective Northwestern student at 10:30 a.m. and then our chavurah is meeting at 1 p.m.). Our little girl is so popular!
I spent much of tonight cooking -- gingerbread for the chavurah, challah for us (this is turning into a weekly task), matzo ball soup for the upcoming week. Tomorrow I'll be making beef barley soup with mushrooms and then I think I'll take a break from cooking for a couple of days, except for the salad I take to work during the week.
I need a rest.
