After meeting with the director of Centre Safe & a student in the Greek system to brainstorm about a 50th anniversary benefit next spring, I met up with a friend at a new breakfast/lunch place with a stunning array of foods from various backgrounds. Hoping to check them out for dinner once they’re open for it in April 
After our meal I talked her into joining the same gym we just joined (for which I got a month free), and we parted ways.
Dinner was fettuccine con sugo di agnello. Fried up a package of ground lamb from our share, then simmered in the last dredges of an open Rao’s marinara plus some extra sauce from Aldi’s Priano spicy garlic arrabbiata (which has a surprisingly pronounced kick to it!) augmented with sautéed onion, tomato paste, a bay leaf, frozen basil blobs, and a splash of half & half, as the heavy cream in the fridge had gotten a little too solid since I’d last checked on it 
A little grated pecorino on top to finish.
Simple salad with red & green butter leaf lettuce, flavor bombs, and avocado in a zippy mustard vinaigrette with fresh parsley.
A Primitivo to drank with, which my PIC liked a lot more than I did.
Not too shabby for a Wennzdee nite!
