As Mommi & Bengie are leaving tomorrow we went out and celebrated my birthday with a dinner at Il Fornaio courtesy of Bengie. Prawns, gnocchi, pork chop wrapped with pork, lobster ravioli & tiramisu… While it wasn’t like the food in Italy it still gave me that overstuffed feeling on the drive back home.

Maverick
Had to travel to Reno and there are a limited number of flights, so I decided to drive. I stopped over to see Jimi & Amy… okay I wanted to meet Maverick. Oh Jimi made an outstanding 4 course dinner, whatever. Maverick! They also have 3 fat kats. It’ll take 4 washings to get rid …

Famoso
As the boys are leaving tomorrow morning Aleki wanted to have a famoso burrito before he left. We went to our usual La Penca Azul. Aleki did finish that burrito, it was about the size of my arm.
