The weather was pretty wild today: thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rains & occasional hail with strong wind gusts. Spring-y! We braved the downpour anyway to get to our favorite sushi place for lunch, and lucked out not getting caught in the worst of it
Dinner was a shared GIGANTIC ortolana pizza with spicy salami from a place just a hop, skip, and a jump from our pad. The dinner is fairly randomly Italian, not specifically regional, although the wine selection (Grillo, Nero d’Avola) pointed to Sicilian.
Pizza was good — nice crust, flavorful sauce, just the right amount of cheese, a sprinkle of oregano, and a pleasantly spicy salami. My PIC would’ve loved to have tried the Vitello Tonnato, but look at the size of that pie!
We still ended up taking half of it home
We’re spending a quick overnight in Hamburg tomorrow, where we’re meeting up with my sis and BIL for dinner at our favorite HH restaurant — but mostly to take our 96-yr old cousin to lunch on Friday. That woman will outlive us all!
It’ll be great to see her again after a whole year
