General Amusements

Stuart is adapting to life here on Union Ave. We've gotten him into a fairly good routine, he's only getting up about once a night. Give him another couple weeks and we'll stop responding to him at night but that's another matter.
Janna and I decided to enjoy another one of our world famous Italian picnics. This time around we had prosciutto di parma, porketta, filsette oldani salami, soperassata calbresse, mixed spiced olives and fresh mozzarella cheese. All purchased at G.B. Russo and Son. Janna an I enjoyed our feast, with plenty left over for snacking.
Stuart was not amused that his mother wouldn't allow him to have any of our feast. I was more than willing to give him some porketta but Janna wouldn't allow it. Poor kid.

Stuart did get to enjoy some baby rice cereal, in fact we started him on this stuff earlier this week. I frankly think it's disgusting but he seems to think it is a gourmet treat. If he's a really good boy he'll get pears or peaches next week. The excitement never ends when you're two weeks old.


Ok, that picture is huge. In any event, Janna and I will be celebrating our first anniversary this weekend and in celebration of this we went to Tre Cugini for dinner last night. We were able to eat outside, which was simply wonderful. We started with the traditional antipasti plate of assorted meats and cheeses and as always it was great. Janna got the gnocchi, pillows of potato pasta in a delicious cheesy sauce. I got the saltimbocca, perfectly cooked it was like velvet. For desert, Janna got sfogliata, which to no ones surprise was a chocolate lovers dream. I got fragole, strawberries in a cream sauce with liquor. Both were quite excellent.
Stuart stayed with his grandparents when we were at Tre Cugini. We got a good report from Mark and Joy, he slept the whole time. It appears that he's just getting up again and we can expect great dramatics when the boy is required to wake up. Gee, I wonder which side he got waking up dramatics from? Janna. I say nothing.
