Then maybe we'll cook for you, given that we've each recently rediscovered our culinary sides: Hayley's been making awesomely light whole wheat butter pecan pancakes and I made chicken kiev the other night!

It was so good I wept (though the spices contributed). Ah yes, I remember enjoying the spiced-up version at your birthday party last year. It was so good I wept (though the spices contributed).

It's harder to be productive in my apartment now; I'm feeling a greater need to go out to coffee shops and the like, just to hear the same kind of energy and activity I had at the retreat. I loved watching BSG as a group, though. Looking forward to Raj's get-together on Finale Night. Glad you liked the gumbo! It was a "safe" version of my usual recipe (minimal spices, no seafood, no pork, fat free chicken broth, even gluten-free flour), so I was really worried about how it would turn out. But it wasn't bad, if I do say so myself. =) Yes, very sad and lonely.

It was quite the communal experience watching Battlestar Galactica together, btw. I got a kick out of the fact that everyone shouted out their reactions and theories -- after each line of dialogue! The gumbo was deLISH! I was disappointed when I went back for thirds and it was all gone. :) The sign of a good retreat (or Con) is that you feel a little bit sad and lonely when you return to the real world.
