I started off with their complimentary pizza bread and a small Longhi's salad. The salad is perfectly dressed and topped with bleu cheese, juicy tomatoes, white beans and crisp, chilled green beans.
I also enjoyed the rich and deeply cheesy Manicotti: hand-rolled pasta wrapped around ricotta cheese topped with a hearty tomato sauce with a dab of béchamel sauce.
Delicious!
It was the perfect treat to start my day after yesterday's action packed day. The relay race really took the zip out of my step. I felt like a highly functioning zombie yesterday at work. It took me about an hour before I could pull myself together. During the first turn of my tables last night, I had to fire every single brain cell in my head to churn out the specials without tripping over my tongue. My guests were all very nice and no one made any jokes about my stuttering.
After work, I relaxed at home and shared a bottle of wine with Bryan. We ended up putting in a disc of Planet Earth, and it took everything I had to keep my eyes open. Unfortunately, I didn't make it through the whole episode. I nodded off quite a bit and fell completely asleep by the end.
Thankfully, I was awake for this bit about Mandarin ducklings taking their first flight from their treetop nest:
Those little ducklings literally bounce when they hit the ground. Ouch. I guess I can't complain too much about how sore I am today, now can I?
