A birthday is always a good reason to visit a restaurant.
But note to self – never let my good friend RL organize a birthday dinner celebration again – especially if he’s planning on visiting the casino earlier in the day.
Rick’s birthday was a disaster. The plan had been to meet at Mamma Grazzi’s for 7PM but when Aline and I showed up 10 minutes early – no reservations had been placed and that was probably due to the fact no reservations were allowed – and there was a lineup of at least 6 people in front of us. No one showed up by 7:15 so we went for a walk ourselves and tried again later. This time Eric & Jen were there but still no birthday boy.
Had veal with brandy. Nice sauce. Excellent roasted potatoes and vegetable side.
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
