Unexpected Guest

I got the most wonderful, unexpected phone call yesterday morning. It was my friend, Val, calling from San Jose. Not too exciting, right? Except Val has lived in India for the past 6 years! She's doing the rounds visiting friends and family for a few weeks, and I was fortunate enough to make the list.

Val came over for a home cooked meal of Rigatoni with Roasted Pumpkin and Goat Cheese (watch out, 2 slow food meals in a row!) and a long night of catching up on wedding planning and pregnancy. It's so much fun to have a prego friend--she's the first person close to me experiencing this wonderfulness!

It was SO great to see and catchup with you, Val! Enjoy the rest of your time in the States. I can't wait to start seeing some photos on your blog! :)
