That doesn't mean very much, not working today, switched with the other secretary for tomorrow. Work's going well. Staff are really nice and I'm getting the hang of things. Need to learn about payroll, then I'll be all set.
As for going out...We've been to Tuscan Hills with Jill, Lenny, Patty and Vince. (http://www.tuscanhillsnyc.com/). Food is pretty good, shrimp dishes not so good (shrimp is canned, maybe, small, definitely). Service is good. We had a good time all around. Same crowd, but with Karen and Brett also, went to Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem after the Avon Breast Cancer Walk that Jill and Brett do every year. We had the usual: Chipotle garlic wings, fried green tomatoes, beer, hard cider, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, bbq chicken...Always a special annual outing for all of us! Jill, Sue Boyle and I met at Bonfire last week. Drinks and apps at the bar. We had a really nice night. Michael showed up near the end for chicken wings and while we walked home, he biked around us :)
As for staying in...I've made pork roast, spare ribs and Guinness stew, along with usuals like roasted chicken, Greek salad, etc...Mike and Margo were here for the weekend. Glenn and Eileen joined all of us for Chinese on Saturday night. Love hanging with friends at home. Need to do this more often.
Passed a few birthdays too: Ryan was 21, Sarah was 19 and Barb was 60!!! Gotta love milestones (where would we be without them)?

Saturday Night
Michael and I went to Tuscan Hills for dinner last night. A relatively new restaurant on Queens Boulevard and 77th something.
We had fried calamari (Breading was a bit oily and not too tasty, but was not heavy. Marinara sauce on the side was mild, needed hot pepper). Straciatella soup was passable, but definitely not Dani's. Rigatoni ala Norma (with eggplant) was good and Michael's grilled chicken breast with tomato salad was good also.
Dessert was Tiramisu and espresso. Both were fine. Service was good.
It's a cute, small place and we would try it again and order differently to get a better feel for the food.
It is nice to have a new place in the neighborhood to go to.
BTW, when we stopped by Tuscan Hills earlier in the day to see the menu, some jerk hit the front bumper of our car. So this week, I get to tour auto shops. First to Wayside for a new bumper, then to Acura, who recalled our car model because the driver's air bag might blow up and shoot metal pieces into you if it expands while you are driving!
Such fun!
