day 83

Jody decided that we should go out every night for the next two weeks until Spring Break hits so we went out tonight for the second night in a row. Unheard of. I really enjoyed it - what a great break from cooking for one and holding down my sofa!
We ate at one of our San Diego favorites, Urban Solace in North Park. This time, we were joined by some friends that we work with, Christina and Pam. If you live in San Diego or come here for a visit, it's a fantastic spot for dinner. We sat outside on the patio where they have live music on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. (Tonight, they had Daniele Spadavecchia playing with an accompanist.) They made the whole experience just perfect!
We shared a bottle of wine and for dinner, ordered several favorites to share - Cheese Biscuits with orange-honey butter, Sweet Potato Fries, a Wedge salad and the Pulled Chicken and Dumplings. It was all so decadent and delicious! Pam noticed that they had an Espresso Martini on the menu and ordered one so that we could all try it. After dinner, Jody ordered a Not-So-Red Velvet Cake for dessert but I had to skip it because I forgot to take my acid reflux medicine and by then the reflux was on the attack.
What a great time I had with you, ladies! Thank you so much for joining us on a school night! :)
