HAPPY MOUTH — January 2007

HAPPY MOUTH — January 2007

Our first Happy Mouth of 2007 was Kristy’s selection.

She selected BELLA LUNA on Eastern Avenue for their imported Italian pastas and house-made delights. The restaurant is quite informal and very friendly. We had a really nice time, and the food was very good. I sampled a mozzarella bread, the tomato basil soup, stuffed mushrooms, and mussels from the table, and enjoy my entree of Veal Marsala with Balsamic Vinegar and a few cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce. Everything was really good. A very nice surprise was that bottles of wine are half-off on Wednesday nights, and we took full advantage of that savings. Desserts that I saw included bread pudding (top notch), and tiramisu.

A good time was had by all!

You Suck: A Love Story

Oh, Wendy & I adore Christopher Moore! He’s one funny writer, as nice as he can be in person, and writes enjoyably messed-up stories.

YOU SUCK is a follow-up to BLOODSUCKING FIENDS that Mr. Moore has written at the request of his readers. I’m only 80 pages in and have laughed out loud several times already.
