In Chicago all week and it's my wife's birthday.

Went out for Italian again because it's my wife's birthday weekend and that's her favorite I had seared hamachi with a fried risotto cake and some kind of weird and delicious mix of butternut squash, strawberries, pancetta, and garlic. It was their daily special so I can't double check from the menu My wife had Spaghetti Arrabbiata - Tomato spaghetti tossed with spicy tomato sauce, cooked with applewood smoked bacon, chipotle peppers, olive oil & garlic finished with crispy pancetta The best part for me was the pork belly appetizer - braised pork belly, chipotle maple glaze, sautéed figs, baby arugula & crispy bread

We went out for Italian I had cavetelli with shrimp, pancetta, butternut squash and a garlic cream sauce She had spinach and ricotta ravioli with a lemon cream parmesan sauce

The military method never caught on for me and even then we still do it different because we use a 3 letter month abbreviation instead of a number I believe the ISO format is actually YYYY-MM-DD I like that we are different

Happy Women's Day!

This is how I've been feeling about io9 lately. It would be nice to read some Doctor Who news without being told the next Doctor should be a woman or PoC and if you disagree you are what's wrong with society. But Idris Elba should be both the Doctor and James Bond
