Sara's parents, Gaga and Sir, came in to visit for a few weeks so of course we had to put the kitchen to good use. We did some old reliables like lamb legs and pastas and whole chickens, etc. Paired a lot of stuff with some good Jaime Oliver salads -- I'm becoming a fan of his side dishes and salads, but not yet down with his entrees, though to be fair, i've only done one or two.
Here are a couple of shots...

| Dinner with Roo and Sir and Gaga |
 |
| Chicory salad, stuffing, roasted chicken and gratin potatoes. |
 |
| Stuffed mushrooms, roasted fennel bulbs, pasta with leeks, and green salad. |
Gaga was sick for the first week of the trip (bronchitis and double ear infection) which caused her to cancel a quick trip to Hamburg to see Emi, Michael and Lexi, but she recovered nicely and did more than her share of Rudy Duty and cooking/cleaning when I was out of town for a week*. She and Sir took Roo all over town and kept him very busy. Lots of stories and games and picture drawing and block-stacking, etc.
Oh and we made a lot of progress on the potty training front with Sir and Gaga. Here's an action shot...

| "I did it!!!!!" |
*from Jan 16-23, I spent a week traveling around the Czech Republic with my brother Mike. Sir and Gaga went to bat for the O Family and took very good care of Boo and Roo while Mike and I drank and ate tremendous amounts. Thank you again, fam.
