madbaker | I need a weekend to recover from the weekend.

I thought the porchetta worked beautifully when I roasted the whole thing. Enough spice to flavor but not too much to overpower the roast. No leftovers, either.

The rest of

etaine_pommier's birthday celebration was a lot of fun. We rented a couple nice river houses in Healdsburg. People did various combinations of wine tasting, shoe and/or antique shopping, canoeing, movie-watching, and socializing. We consumed mass quantities of very, very good food and drink.

We had a fabulous time and now my liver needs some recovery time this week.
