Italian food

[talyen]

I know I've said that Italian is my least favorite ethnic food (okay, second to American). That's mostly based on how boring it can be sometimes: overdone pasta, boring sauce, too much meat.

Last night, we went to Palio for dinner to celebrate with/congratulate a former coworker on their move to a new job. And the food was really good. I had cheese tortelloni with a spicy red sauce, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The crispy-crusted appetizer pizzas were also flavorful.

Since it was with co-workers, it could have been much worse. It was actually fun. We went for ice cream afterwards, on my insistence. I had a taste for Ann Arbor Mud again. I convinced several others to go with me, and we even sat and chatted like regular people instead of co-workers.

Fortunately, I ran before I got there. (: Only 3.8 miles, since I was going to be late to dinner. I really didn't have time for a bike ride afterwards, considering we finally left the restaurant at 7:45pm.

It sure gets dark early nowdays. To much time to eat!

So that's two days in a row that I had a full stomach after eating. I gotta cut that out! But couple it with getting 6.5 hours' sleep last night, and I am more than ready for tonight's workout!

Why do you have to cut that out? Don't you want to speed up your metabolism? That generally involves eating more, not eating less.

Good Italian is among the best things in the world. Bad Italian is really american with noodles. Getting good Italian usually involves cooking it yourself.

I like Palio's best of all the Italian restaurants. I'd go with you there any time.
