food for foodies

After a week with a sick dog, a sick Mike (he had a cold), and unseasonably cold weather, we were happy to be out and about once again this weekend! Vokey seems to be making a full recovery and while we're not sure if her obstruction has passed, she is back to normal!

Our weekend began with dinner at 1924 Main on Friday night. Everything was delicious, but possibly the most memorable taste of the evening was the black pepper ice cream!

On Saturday we did some much needed grocery shopping, beginning at the first day of the Brookside Farmer's Market (where we bought some organic mixed greens).

Sunday found us at a Rainy Day Books book signing event. Giada De Laurentiis was in town promoting her new cookbook, Everyday Pasta. She spent some time answering questions from the audience and then sent us all home with an autographed copy of the book. Yes, she's as petite and beautiful in real life as she appears on tv! The recipes look good. We've tried a few already (from her show) and plan to try a few more in the coming weeks. We'll give you a full report!
