out of office...food, wine, and switch plates
I'm going to be out of the office today. Bob and I will be running around making the last purchases of odds and ends for the renovation--like switch plates, glass for the kitchen door window, lights for the closets--the stuff you can overlook.
In the middle of it all, we're going to take a long lunch break for a tasting menu with a wine pairing at Lupa, Mario Batali et al's rustic Italian restaurant a few blocks from our new apartment in the Village. I took the whole day off work, not just because of the errands we need to run, but because I didn't want to go back to work drunk in the afternoon. Hopefully we can get everything done and enjoy the buzz.

So, how was the lunch?
I am such a light-weight. The wine-pairing had me drunk as sailor by the time I left the restaurant. And both Bob and I sat uselessly on the couch last night holding our stomachs.
Was it worth it, you ask? This is the second tasting menu lunch we've done at Lupa and we may not do another for a while. We walked away thinking of the tasting menus we could have had at other restaurants for the same money, which isn't a good sign.
