I had big plans yesterday–the last day of my two weeks off work–to make an apple pie and this sausage and red pepper stew thing to serve over grilled polenta rounds. I made the pastry for the pie in the morning, then sat down to get a little work done in the afternoon. Then I tried to roll out the pastry around 4pm. Then I threw out the pastry. Then the Beast got home and I said, “Fuck dinner. Let’s go out.”
He was dressed up in nice slacks, a blazer and a scarf. I was dressed in a sweatshirt and cargo pants that I bought for $9.97 from Joe Fresh.
There’s a new place in the neighbourhood called Hey! It’s an off-shoot of Hey, Meatball! on College St.; a place I’ve heard lots of nice things about, but have never eaten at.
Foodie: This looks nice! Oh, and the prices look good too.
Beast: I can’t believe we’re eating dinner at 5:00pm.
