It's been a long 10 days since dear friends Kristen and Mookie were over, so it was great to see them here last Thursday night for dinner. They let me try another new recipe on them: stuffed pork tenderloin with mushroom sauce. I also had a casserole dish of Brussels sprouts gratin and some cheesy riced cauliflower.

Before coming inside for dinner prep, on that gorgeous afternoon, Sumner and I enjoyed some time on the front lawn, a sitting that turned into nearly an hour-and-a-half. I sat on the front wall, chatting with neighbor Ryan, and then we were joined briefly by Steve, another city dweller who is a fellow UNC alum. In the meantime, there was plenty of exchanged greetings with three other neighbors passing by, longtime friend Clark biking by, two of the guys who work across the street at Quanto Basta, two of the guys who work across the street at Radar Security Alarm, and friendly nods to strangers walking by or heading over to eat at QB. It's a reminder of what a small town feel is present in downtown Winston-Salem. I sure do love where I live.
