leftovers-quesadillas

Suddenly summer is over and I didn't spend nearly enough time sitting on the grass with Jenny. We will have to make that up on fallen leaves.


A few weeks ago Marie came to visit and she and I went to dinner! This might seem everyday, but I've been eating mostly leftovers-quesadillas. You know, barbecue and blue cheese quesadilla, corn quesadilla, peanut butter and banana-dilla. Bor-ing. So we set out to eat anything that didn't come in a circle. We ate at Tria, a hip place founded on the triumvirate of beer/cheese/wine. Many things on their menu came in snack-size, so we tried a bunch and my taste buds were thoroughly satisfied.    

The reason for her visit was Jessie and Katie's going away party. These cousins are moving to Italy for a year, and we met with the usual spread to send them off. A bonus, of course, was meeting new baby Evangeline! 

Ian finally got his promotion to Apprentice Manager and an exciting transfer to the Penn restaurant! The excitement only really comes from him being able to walk to work and our tired car getting to rest instead of creaking loudly over trolley tracks and pot-abysses daily. Changing restaurants is really just going from one mess to another, but he's taking on the new challenge with a smile.


And of course, we are mostly frantically getting ready for SPX. We leave tomorrow night, and I have a ton to do, but we are going with a few new books, new promotional materials, and a full table to share! I will report back pronto.
