Hi, I haven’t read much in the last few days. Mh and I have been in Chicago since Wednesday and today is our fifth wedding anniversary. We had dinner at Stephanie Izard’s Girl & the Goat and I’m super impressed. Our meal was great and the server said Izard, who is an Iron Chef on TV now, spends 40 hours a week in the restaurant. She had to have been in the building when we got there; he said she regularly helps the chefs, works the pass and does pre-shift with the servers. That’s dedication. When I was a chef I worked under a chef who staged under her. She is the real deal. In the restaurant industry it is tough to make your mark if you are a woman but she is a rare breed. I learned a lot under my exec. Glad to hear you had a good meal. I will say that ALL CHEFS worth their grain are very passionate about their art.

Happy Birthday to ttcbabyj baby. Such a cute baby and a cute outfit. Ladybug was one of my favorite birthday themes we ever did.

Okay driver is on his way. I'm so hungry. That's ridiculous! The food was fine, so I'm full and happy now. But yes, ridiculous.

We ate at one of Michael Symon’s restaurants in Cleveland on Tuesday and the difference is demonstrable. Mh asked the bartender and he’s there once a month. Restaurants are hard business and she’s clearly doing a lot of things right.

We close on our house Monday or Tuesday and I leave for AZ on Thursday... Talk about bad timing on my part. I bought the tickets before we got the house though so I had no idea.

I hosted a party for DSs ballteam tonight & it was good times! The kids swam & played while the parents drank sangria. I grilled hot dogs & had chips, fruit & cupcakes. Almost zero clean-up FTW!
Now everyone is passed out & I'm on the couch debating sleeping here vs walking up the stairs to bed.....

I like pancetta on my pizza. When I make it at home it’s pancetta, caramelized onions, and goat cheese.

I feel like pepperoni is one of the least offensive things you can put on a pizza...

I hope it all goes well. Thanks! I'm leaving my husband in charge of moving while I'm gone for the week. There is like a 50% chance anything will get done. 😂 But seriously we have our rental til the end of June so there isn't a rush.

Pepperoni isn’t worth the calories for me. It’s fine, but I don’t love it.

A nice shower before bed after a day of manual labor feels good. Charley horse's in your leg, do not.
