Friday night with the girls

By Moriah on June 20th, 2009

So last night was the kids’ last evening at VBS. My last night of having only one child around – which, after three, is sort of like a vacation. What to do with this kind of freedom?!

I called my friend Jenny at the very last minute and she was able to meet Adelaide and me at Andy’s restaurant for dinner. I mean hey, why not?! She’s easy to convince.

We had the tomato/cannellini bean bruschetta (did you know it’s actually pronounced “bru-sketta”?) because it is truly amazing. I don’t usually like bruschetta. But there it’s one of my favorite things on the menu.

(The pancetta-wrapped dates are to die for as well, but there were only 2 ½ of us after all. We didn’t want to go overboard.)

I ordered the pepperoni pizza (which is actually chorizo). I thought Adelaide might eat it and I didn’t want to get two entrees AND I wasn’t about to eat more pasta. I’ve had pasta the last two times we’ve gone and needed something different. She ate maybe two bites. (Of course.) They also just added silverqueen corn on the summer menu so I got that, too. (She didn’t touch it.)

Somehow we, meaning Jenny and I, managed to have a real conversation even though Adelaide was determined to be the center of attention. She did fine for the first ¾ of our meal and then she decided she wanted to be a circus clown.

We were in a booth (which are raised off the floor; too high for “high” chairs, oddly enough). Now I know in the future she MUST be buckled down into a high chair at a regular table, preferably sitting by her father.

Otherwise the aisle-dancing gets a little crazy.

At least she’s cute.

I want a friend whose husband works at a restaurant and who calls me spur of the moment to come eat with her.

But for today I will settle for reading about one.

I made something with pancetta today. I blogged about it, too :)
