so I guess the Saturday late morning IM conversations with Mell have turned into mid-workday convos... hooray for them! :)

and hooray for sauteed mushrooms stuffed with crab meat (served in sizzling butter), 16 oz. new york strip steaks medium-rare (served in sizzling butter), creamed spinach (served with sticks of butter melted in), and the golden onion ring.

and a '98 9th house of the pope. in two gorgeous wine glasses.

and the waitress who ran after us. clink.
