Since we played all day yesterday we had to get busy and run our
errands today.
I firmly believe ;-) that one should not grocery shop while hungry, so
Stan and I stopped at an Italian Restaurant for lunch before going
grocery shopping. This restaurant is one we hit up once in a while.
We like the tables by the window.

We shared an antipasta salad that we ate with an order of garlic
bread. The salad had plenty of meat and cheese with regular ol' black
olives and some sliced pepperoncini, with tomatoes and cucumbers on
iceberg and romaine lettuce. It was o.k. the Italian salad dressing
was delicious. The garlic bread was nice and garlicky and crunchy.

I usually order, Baked Stuffed Shells, but today I had a 9" personal
size pizzetta. I ordered the Quattro Stagioni that has sundried
tomatoes, artichokes, fresh mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.
It was fantastic. The crust had a nice chew to it, it was on the
thinner side but able to hold the ingredients.
The flavors of the toppings were a good balance. Their sauce is
delicious and has pieces of real, fresh basil in it, yummie.
I loved it when I bit into a sundried tomato, it leant that punch of
flavor that jazzed it up a bit.

Stan had his usual rigatoni with meat sauce. When he's feeling like
living life on the wild side he has ravioli with meat sauce. ;-)

We're home, I put the groceries away. Time to relax with a little
toddie.
