Our Can-Do-Anything Janet Oglethorpe paints and designs awesome rooms, writes beautifully, teaches exercise classes, inspires and wows her friends, and matches certain dogs to certain humans to perfection.
Yesterday she hosted Charlotte's birthday lunch and served us Julia Childs' Boeuf Bourguignon, cauliflower rice, sautéed green beans, and chocolate mousse, along with Bill's yummy homemade bread. The music was a chorus of repeated Ummmmms around the table: Kate's, Janet's, Charlotte's and mine. Every bite was delicious!
Not only has Janet mastered Julia's 42-steps-to-make stew; she does a spot on imitation of the French chef!
Here she is with our girl Luci who--when hearing I was going to Janet's house, where she lived for two days before she moved in with me--insisted on going along to see Janet and Bill and their three dogs, Mia, Val and Molly.
What a perfect afternoon, celebrating Charlotte's birthday, February 23rd!
