LOCAL FRIDAY

I know I always say this, but man, it was a long week. We had lots of stuff to do and it was cold and just ... long. But fortunately we live right around the corner from one of the neighborhood's best restaurants and all we needed to do run half a block to get the goodness.

We did four wonderful little plates:
- roasted beet salad with goat cheese and pine nuts
- veal and porcini meatballs
- sausage and broccoli rabe panini
- penne pasta with arrabiata sauce

Everything was wonderful. Meena thinks that beets taste like earth so she didn't help much with that one. But I loved it.

We finished the whole thing off with a banana and nutella panini.

It was probably too much food (even though they're all tiny plates) but it was just so so so so so good.
