Can't believe this movie is over 10 years old!

While channel surfing we saw this movie on IFC, one of the funniest "independent" movies of the 90s -- Jon Favreau & Vince Vaughn's classic comedy about living in LA, "Swingers".


one of our favorite scenes :

Vinny Vincenz


our cravings have been for pizza and pasta during the month of December. a strong contender for "pizza the way they made it back in the day" - perfect crust, an excellent cheese to sauce ratio. the two standouts on our last visit were the sicilian and margherita slices (yes, slices!). Pizza of this quality and calibre are usually served by the pie.

Come for the pastas too- the eggplant parmagiana over linguini pasta was perfection!

We washed it down with a big bottle of Coney Island Lager from the Schmaltz brewing company , delish!

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.

Last weekend of Fall foliage

The bone chilling wind has blown the leaves off the branches...winter is knocking at the door.
