6.26.11 - Rocca's

We didn't have a chance to celebrate our anniversary in April but finally, at long last, we went out for it now. Jack looked up different places in downtown San Mateo and landed on the highly rated Rocca's, not knowing I have actually been there before in conjunction with the law firm. But that's fine - the place is delicious and definitely a special date for us.

My martini was called "The Parisian Kiss": chilled vodka, triple sec, fresh lemonade, Chambord.



I ordered crabs stuffed with shrimp over a lemon risotto.

Jack said his dinner was the best fettuccine he's ever had.

6.4.11 - Kitchen cleaning race

Jack's parents were in town.  We were all lounging around Jack's apartment and I mentioned to Jack (possibly multiple times) that he ought to clean out his fridge because it was rotten and gross inside and he responded (possibly multilple times) "Yeah, I will..." and then didn't quite get around to getting off the couch.

After awhile Don, Merlene, Jack and I were planning to go somewhere (I no longer remember where) and I said "I bet I can shower and be ready to go before you can finish cleaning out the fridge."

And then Jack JUMPED UP off the couch and RAN ACROSS THE ROOM to me and PUSHED ME ON THE GROUND!  (He was gentle, it's ok.)  And then he frantically started cleaning out the fridge.  I was laughing so hard I could hardly get up again.

He was pretty smug about how he'd cleaned the fridge (and freezer! (and wiped down all the shelves!!)) waaaay before I finished getting ready.  He sure showed me. :)
