It's been one of those weeks (months? years?) at work when I just can't seem to get out of my own way. Which makes getting things done difficult. No one else seems to want to get out of my way either, so that complicates things a bit more. While "because I said so" worked about 75% of the time for my mother, it really, really doesn't work at work.
To make me feel better, we went out to eat at a quiet little local bistro-ey, tavern-ey place. The building is brick, the wood floors creak comfortingly, the lighting is just right, and the staff are friendly. I had flank steak with chopped green olives, roast fingerling potatoes with blue cheese and shallots, and roasted tomato. I don't know what they put into the chopped olives, but I could have eaten a plate of just the olives, they were so good. As it was, they went wonderfully with the steak and the tomato. The potatoes? They're a starch, and starch and I have a lifetime relationship of dependency (entirely on my side). The food was great, the serving size was reasonable, the beer was good. A panacea, the atmosphere and my meal worked wonders. Thank you Monty's!

Mmmmm...sounds good! I need someone to make me a good steak now!
Are you guys settling in?
My pulled pork calzone was darn good too! And that Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA... mmm... I'm getting hungry again!
We ARE starting to settle in - Steve's so smart, he seems to know what to unpack to suit our mood for the day. Last night it was our books, and it made such a difference. I set off all the smoke alarms while cooking last night - that helps too. ;)
