Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Today didn’t really go according to plan, so we’ll do our early Valentine’s Day dinner tomorrow on the way home from work instead.

On the plus side, my hip AND knee are both quite happy today, so the laundry blitz has gone well. I now work five days straight ... Thursday is jam packed, and Friday is surgery day. This week should fly right by.

Wow, I think we have a new favourite special occasion restaurant.

We are both in the mood for pasta. Linguine specifically. Gorgonzola for me - Pescatore for Mike.

I had water.

The balsamic was so thick and fruity. Absolutely delightful! We went through two of these, and a third basket on just bread for Mike to sop up all of the seafood sludge.

We both had the same salad, so I only took one photo. Beets, pears, walnuts, goat cheese ... yum.

Rubber bands. Grilled vs deep fried. 🤮

More grilled rubber bands ... with other gross stuff. He insisted I have a shrimp. It must have been uncontaminated, because it was wonderful.

This was much better. Guaranteed.

I passed on the crepe, because the seasonal fruit was blueberries.

I sincerely hope that is not a Five Guys, because except for the desserts, there was not one thing that looked even the slightest bit appetizing to me. I know I was raised as a common hick from upper, upper New York State, but I have been around and eaten a lot of things and I cannot wrap my taste buds around that cuisine. Must be getting less adventuresome in my old age.

I love Italian food. In between each course, Mike kept singing “a bottle of red, a bottle of white ....”

I’m totally with you on the calamari though.

Yes, but that is not Italian food, that is westernized Italian food. Brought to us by a few TV chefs that like to roll their R's when speaking. Parrrmigiano-Rrrreggiano anyone? It is closer to nouvelle cuisine to me. Small portions, high prices, that like scotch needs acquiring a taste for the bazaar. I've had many meals in Italy and haven't even stumbled on that style by accident. This is just me, I know, but if I can't identify every item on the plate I am not interested. And can anyone tell me what the thing is with stacking food, one thing on top of the other and leaving the rest of the plate empty? Is that to give the illusion that there is more there because you have to have a step ladder to get to the top layer? (BTW, you need to stay off the step ladder! ;) )

OK, I have vented my position on the subject and I don't hold anything against someone that likes that stuff. Just not for me, and now you know why. Carry on with whatever we were carrying on about. 🙂
