i've been holding out on you, friends.
a few weeks ago, our town got a new little western restaurant. it's the first legit one to open during our time living here (there was a little place that supposedly sold some western food but it was always "out" of whatever people ordered and it closed up shop about two months ago) and we're pretty excited.
we had heard rumors and whisperings of an italian place opening, to be run by a wife of one of the doctors at our hospital (whom chris tutors), but we just couldn't believe it. it seemed too good to be true.
and then it appeared. a quaint little cafe that sells pasta, burgers, pizzas, amazing fruit shakes (including the avocado- so good!) and french fries to boot.
our first trip, chris nearly cried when he got his burger. grilled onions? fresh, perfectly grilled beef? and my pasta carbonara was delicious- super creamy and very worth the food guilt.
last night, we even took our host family to the new restaurant. i had mentioned it a few weeks ago, then last week, and then solidified a date and time with my older sister and mother on sunday night. and all day long the little children were chanting "pizza! pizza!" there was excitement in the air, i tell you!
we called in our order a few hours before to be sure there would be enough food, and when we arrived, they had set up a table with placemats and sauces all ready for us.
surprisingly, after all that excitement about pizza, our youngest host-niece refused to try some. oh well!
by the end of the evening, the food was all gone, so i'd call the trip a success!
chris and i are already seeing how having this delicious place in our town (and only three blocks away!) is going to prove very tempting as we try to save money and our waistlines!
