The sunset earlier this week – even seen through the window – was so incredible that I had to capture it.

After a busy week, I’m looking forward to some relaxation, friends and – hopefully – a lot of sleep.

I’m hosting a dinner party on Sunday night for my dear friend G., who is moving to NYC in a few weeks. I’m planning to give my champagne saber a workout and another friend is mixing cocktails. The menu isn’t final yet, but I’m thinking of a Bibb lettuce and hazelnut salad, garlicky monkey bread, a vegetarian polenta and pesto lasagna and my favorite party dessert – flourless chocolate cake – as the finale. Fingers crossed since my cooking skills are not strong.

What are your weekend plans?
