My ex husband is a great guy so I find it easy to joke about. We did our divorce at our kitchen table. But I would rather eat my dominate arm than be married to him still. 
And the random one time a year we end up in the same city, I always make him pay for lunch cause I didn’t touch his retirement.

We are driving to see my FIL. It’s my singing and eating shift before I drive once it’s dark. Another Boston Pizza night. Bandera bread to go. It’s basically pizza crust with Italian dressing and baked with cheese. With ranch and salsa mixed together. I can’t wait to eat a vegetable and go to Pilates everyday when we get to the Okanagan. It’s been a lot of carbs the last couple days.
Also, I tend to forget how beautiful my home province is when we are in BC so much.

The food is incredible. The chef is very talented and humble. I don’t know if your friend lives in NJ, but she would definitely love this place.
The farm to table restaurant that you went to the other night looks outstanding.

That pizza is a work of art! The crust has a beautiful char to it.

She lives in Rutherford, so she must’ve heard about the place at the very least.
Revival Kitchen is a real treat. So glad we have the chef’s table for Sep & Oct as well

Love that you’ve pre-booked the chef’s table!
Oh, I got in touch with them well before the reservations for the season went live. Otherwise it’s almost impossible to get any table. Last year it was booked within the first 5 minutes!

Oh, if she lives in Rutherford she should have definitely heard about this place, as well as Cafe Matisse, another excellent restaurant in town.
I wish I lived closer to Revival Kitchen but 178 miles one way is a bit of a drive to go out for dinner

Plus you’d be hard pressed to get a table at this point

oh, that steak looks beautiful! Glad you liked the chimichurri! we are still finding ways to use it!
Fri. night the BF made us frittatas - mine the Persian kuku sabzi, at my request, and his a Serious Eats basil feta frittata. I’ve made kuku several times and he’s not fond of it - too herbal for him. 
But we had tons of herbs leftover from my Stinson trip that had to be used.
We both had our 'ttatas with some of that delicious red chimichurri, with a dollop of Greek yogurt on mine. A nice, light dinner.

Last night we had our neighbor friends and another good friend over drinks and apps. I chose a vaguely Italian theme based on what I already had on hand:
Burrata bruschetta with olive crostini
Chicken meatballs marinara
Cantaloupe wedges
Marcona almonds
Pepperoni (turkey )
Cheese plate – goat cheese with spicy honey sauce, Unexpected Cheddar, and 1,000 Day Old Gouda, crackers, Bing cherries, Kalamatas olives, homemade apricot jam
Crudites with pesto ranch dip
Dried apricots and cherries
S’more interpreted it as a formal occasion:
Lots of wine – Oregon Pinot Gris, Italian apassamiento, Spanish Albariño, Conundrum white, and a Bordeaux.

I believe buttertart and her significant other have tried Fiorentini and enjoyed it. I remember asking her about it some time ago. They both tend to dine out in Manhattan more than they dine out closer to home.

Bacon/Swiss and caramelized onion burger with disappointing shoe string fries. Last night’s Thousand Island dressing was the condiment of choice.
Burger was delicious, but I guess the Ozempic is doing its job as I barely made it through the burger and left some of the fries.
It was the usual sized burger that I always make, 5oz pre cook, but it does look ginormous in the photo.
Yay Ozempic!’

Made pesto with arugula, basil, and some parsley, along with pistachios and lemon. Made about 2.5-3 cups worth. Used some tonight on calamari and fettuccine. Will use some of the rest later this week for something TBD.

Probably having fruit for dinner because my son and dil took me to lunch at Sizzler. I’ve been craving their salad bar. Sodium central.
Plate one is potato wedge with guacamole, sour cream, pico, potato salad, mac salad, seafood salad, ambrosia, and fried chicken drumette.
Plate two is seafood salad, green salad w/beets, egg, carrots, peas, ranch, fried chicken flat, and watermelon slice. Had no cheesy garlic bread.
