Yasmine and I slapped hands in the corner tonight and, as a tag team of birthday celebrants, officially transitioned (in my mind, at least) from her birthday to mine. Or, at a minimum, we agreed to share the next few days as mutual birthday space or something like that. Bottom line: this entire week will … Continue reading Warning! Birthday week has officially begun…

Six slices of crisp crust, fresh, flavorful sauce, and generous mozzarella … Continue reading Pizza @Cafe Capriccio
