out on the town

Last night I met up with my brother-in-law and the missus after I got out of work. We went out for some pizza in an effort to try that lovely item with soy cheese instead of the real deal. The 'za was a bit of a flop, especially considering that they used obnoxiously overpowering olives (which, by themselves, may have tasted just fine) and overcharged for the dish while forgetting to bring out our appetizer.

The company, however, was splendid. After the dinner we walked (despite my sore quads) and shopped and did the moseying about town thing until we landed in a cafe to sip on chai and a fresh juice cockatil (two separate beverages; not a monster of drink). The chai tasted like dilute ginger tea until the missus came through and added some xtra cinnamon, cream, and sugar. (She is a culinary wizard, FYI.)

That was the second chai of the day for me, and the first one was much tastier. That first one was like cinnamon candy with an extra peppery kick. I loved the warmth and the hot taste--caliente y picante!
Speaking of wizards, I watched Best in Show yesterday and thought it was very funny when Parker Posey's character called another character a wizard for suggesting that she purchase a dog toy from a nearby pet store. I guess you had to be there...
