My dad was in town this weekend, so we got together briefly Saturday evening. We took him to Aperto, a local Italian joint in our neighborhood. We hadn't gone there before, but the menu always looked good. Well, I'd go back. Not horrendously priced, not overly formal, but nice. My dad had pesto ravioli; the wife had a roasted peach, proscuitto and arugula salad that was faboo. I had the salmon special which I liked.

Now back to the massive catching up I have to do at work.

Taking a quick break.

Yes, I gave myself a pass on Resolution Recipes through next week. But this one was started a month ago, and I just opened up the jar yesterday.

Why Bugsy, they're lovely.

My 15th anniversary with this company is around the end of the month. We get our choice of a list of gifts every five years. For ten years, I got a nice Coach briefcase which I still use. Nothing grabbed me this time 'round, though; so I ordered a set of (cultured) pearls that arrived today. The wife will wear them at SCA events and can keep the really expensive set at home.

I took a bit of teasing at work, but it subsided when I pointed out that scoring domestic tranquility points is totally worth it.
