Where have I been? Apparently out to eat.

Celebrations of all kinds have taken me out for delicious dining in the past few days.

Thanks S for leaving the company, finding a great new opportunity and giving us a reason to eat at Tum Rup Thai. The sweet peanut curry (with beef) was absolutely delightful.

Thanks T for finding a bargain which allowed me to eat lobster mashed potatoes. Yum.

Thanks P for making work trips to Chicago a bit more fun, and for living in the neighborhood where a new modern, sexy Spanish place opened! The corn pudding and lamb sausage were super. Totally worth it for the Stone IPA on tap, even if the dessert menu was totally blah ....and the dessert itself was blah too.
