Growing up Friday was always homemade pizza night... never any meat... i think its an old school thing, they abstained from meat even if not lent...

Well, tonight my brother turned half a century old, so I took him out to delposto.com -- I have to say I was really overwhelmed... not just by the check but the food... lol... its owners are lidia, mario batali & joe bastianich (lidia's son)... they truly are culinary royalty and this was probably the very best meals I've ever had... sorry to brag, but i paid the price, so i had to, but also because experiences like this are literally a handful in a lifetime lol... my only negative comment was a bit much on the sea salt in most of the dishes... im still drinking water and parched (-:
