Last night (e:yesthatcasey) and (e:xandra) and I went to savoy on elmwood. The food was super delicious although quite bread centric. That bread was so good though, esp the crostini. I was surprised they didn't have any entrees but all snacks and sandwiches. Not complaining, I love small plate items, I was just surprised.

One of the most amazing parts were some brie cheese wrapped in some sort of thin dough and then baked or fried and the steak sandwich. I also really enjoyed the olive bowl flavorwise. I had a bunch of cut up veggies and some marinade. My only criticism is that they could have added more olives.

We ordered a good variety of items. I was literally stuffed when I was done.

The price was a little steep for three, but we did have drinks too which always drives dinner prices up.

...finally.

I was just petting my new crystal fox tail (e:paul,57240) while looking at some old pics. Ironically I found this one of me sitting in my vegan army shirt with my vegan necklace in front of my "Every Fur Coat Hurts" poster which I think features of wolf trapped in a fur trap. I think this version of Paul would want to kill me for being a traitor.

He was so freckled.

Last night Robert and (e:terry) and I went out for valentines dinner at Madonnas. The food was amazing as usual. I wish I could have gotten better pics but it was dark and I had to use flash.

The fried artichoke hearts are so good. Lightly coated and fried so that they were crispy on the outside and juicy and delicious on the inside.

They use smoked mozerella for their cheese sticks which gives it a nice smokey almost bacony taste.

Afterwards the owner shared some moonshine cherries and raspberries with us and we talked about the business and the neighborhood. Being a home owner only a block away I really appreciate local businesses like this and what they offer to the community.

The whole evening was pretty great.
