Out To Eat.

Well, Thursday night we used our Living Social Deal and ate at Brioso.  The excellent fresh pasta makes up for the not-so-superb customer service there.  I had the Zucca, which is butternut squash ravioli with a creamy, tomato-mascarpone sauce.  There is a hint of sweetness from the squash and it's so smooth.  Daniel had linguini with Zucchini e Gamberi sauce, which is shrimp, zucchini and roma tomatoes in a white wine sauce.  He said it was very good too--I didn't taste his.

Last night we celebrated Daniel's birthday with a night out downtown.  We ate at Nantucket.  Um, yum!   Daniel had a 7 oz. filet with whipped potatoes.  I had company crab cakes with creamed corn risotto and wilted spinach.  Bananas Foster cheesecake and Creme Brulee for dessert.  And then stayed at the Westin...ahh.

Downtown was so crowded last night and this morning with Artisphere and the Saturday Market going on.  Some people hate that, but I LOVE it!  It wasn't like can't-move-crowded.  Just lots of people loving our artsy and fun downtown.  This morning we saw a painting by Jeannie Maddox  that to look at here just looks like a photograph, but it was an oil painting that was HUGE (48"x84") and so refreshing looking and we loved it and it was $28,000.  So we just admired it.  All of her pieces made me want to go swimming.  This one is called Phil.
