So, Another busy Saturday. Second meeting of the Shirley Slater Dia-Betters Foundation. It went well, typed up the meeting minutes and emailed to my Aunt. After the meeting I went shopping at Goodwill for some toddler toys for my kids. Elmo chicken dance toy, a whole bunch of fisher price little people, the alphabet caterpillar, a manipulative farm, six new wooden puzzles, a xylophone, and a couple others I cant remember right now. After we went to lunch at Wendy's and then dinner again at Bertucci's


Chicken Piccata
Fresh lemon, capers, white wine, Romano and fresh herbs atop tender breaded chicken filets over spaghetti. Served with a side Insalata or a cup of soup.

It was cooked well, but I really didn't like the lemon flavor on it. I enjoyed Eric's "Baked Tortellini & Chicken Gratinati (Tri-color cheese tortellini with chicken, cream, ricotta, mozzarella and Romano, brick oven-baked and sprinkled with diced plum tomatoes.)" much more than my own dinner and ate more of his than mine.

At home more school work and now to bed.

Thanks for listening!

So, today has been a fun filled day. For lunch we had Burger King. Then I went to PathMark and got a Red Velvet Cake with an "Over the Hill too OLD to count" candle and surprised my Aunt Ginny with the cake and presents for her birthday which is TOMORROW! She is gonna be 50!


And since Lila, Raven and myself all got something we wanted this weekend, I decided to take Eric to the restaurant he has been wanting to go back to, Bertucci's.

I ordered the Rigatoni, Broccoli, Shrimp in Lemon Garlic sauce and two, yes I said two, Tiramisu Martini's





Eric ordered the "Taste of Bertucci's"



Raven had the Ultimate Pizza



The food was oh so good, and service was even better. So worth the price, even though we spent $91.85. And they even gave us cute little boxes for our leftovers.


Ending the day at home, snuggled in my little chair, watching Four Brothers and continuing my read of David Eddings "The Tamuli"
