Garden update: Looks like my pumpkins and gherkins are off to a good start (cork used to show scale):
I'm getting back into the rhythm of seeing my friends Maurie and Molly on a regular basis. They have very different personalities, so I can usually count on very different conversations. Dinner at Malaga and a movie at the Violet Crown Thursday, and dinner at Mikado last night. I think Malaga and Mikado have both seen better days. Both serve tapas, but the food and service at Malaga is very inconsistent (however, the duck pizza and lamb are both tasty). The food at Mikado is still good, but they've installed 2 giant flat screen TV's in their dinning room, which really kills the ambiance (btw, I'm not a person that usually uses that word).
Saw "The Trip" at the Violet Crown Cinema downtown. If you like British comedies about food, the human condition, and impersonations of Michael Caine, then this is your movie. I happen to like all those things and thought the film was hilarious. Btw, the Violet Crown is one of those theaters where you pick your seat when you purchase your ticket (either online or in person). If you go, try to get one of the front row seats - they're like easy chairs with a movable ottoman and are very comfortable (and sleep inducing if you're not careful).
