Yesterday we were invited to have dinner at our friend Chris and Jo's house.
First we had some delicious beef carpaccio but a very different one than what I've tried before. Our friend Frank first cooks the whole chunk of meat in lemon juice in the oven and then cuts thick pieces of it, adds chopped red onion and capers, yummy, it's all I am going to say about that!
Then we also had some really delicious salad and pasta, plus some banana foster for dessert... Yes, we were totally spoiled!
Oh and I almost forgot the refreshments... There were several kinds of wine but I drank a Stag's Leap Merlot that I bought, very good and goes amazing with the carpaccio!
Tonight I am planning to attend "Quiz Night" with some friends... It should be a fun night, first time we ever try it and the best part is that is all for a VERY good cause! -Wish us luck!
And since we are sort on the topic of dogs, I saw this the other day and it made me giggle!
The other day I saw the following thing on facebook and it not only made me realize why I don't like about 60% of the music playing on the radio nowadays, but also made me feel pretty sad about the many really talented people out there that don't have the chance to share their talent with the world because perhaps they don't have the looks or even the right marketing to make it big... so sad :(
Well, it's almost Friday so the weekend is just around the corner... I've been fighting some allergic rhinitis for a few days now so I am really looking forward to some days off again.
Happy Thursday!

The pasta and meatballs were good!
I don't like bands where there's no musicians either. Terrible these days.
