Lazy Sunday morning, drinking coffee, hanging out in bed, reading the Sunday paper. Pucci’s at the gym (as usual).

Off to the MFA (Boston Museum of Fine Arts) using Pucci’s membership card while he’s at rehearsal. Started with a lovely lunch of New England Clam Chowder with Apple Smoked Bacon, and the Crab Croissant served with a salad of mixed greens, a a glass of the Wolf whatever Australian Shiraz. Made the art much better.

A nice Leger, some old art, a really nice piece of furniture:

Then you add what I think is a Cezanne — whoever it is it’s the wife in a blond wig, some Russian textiles, and some nice Greek pots.

Stopped in to the member’s desk — got a ticket to the special exhibition “Fashion Show” — it would not have been worth the $23, but free, there was actually one designer that I like — who made stuff out of recycled materials — of course I can’t remember exactly who, might be  Maison Martin Margiela. Basically that whole show was a bunch of peoples 2006 runway shows from Paris.

Next up, martinis and the Superbowl. Do we care who wins? No.

Netta is coming over with Lamb Shanks ala Julia Child, who she used to work for as her archivist. Wish me luck. Damn — turns out it’s Todd English’s Lamb Shanks with Fennel. Turns out Todd has too many lamb shank recipes to track down that one.

The wine is a 1998 Domaine Paul Lautard, Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Jill, eat your heart out (kidding!).
