muckefuckMy cold really blossomed yesterday so I didn't expect I'd be able to keep my promise to accompany the GWO and Turtle to Eataly today. But after taking tea, my throat stopped hurting quite so much. She also drove us there and back, which made me far more amenable than I would otherwise have been. The zinc I've been taking gave a strange tang to the vegetable soup, but the skate wing sandwich was tasty enough, as was the chocolate-strewn focaccia I had afterwards. Turtle hadn't been there before, so we had the joy of showing her around.
Still, it wore me out enough that I slept away most of the afternoon. For dinner, we had some mushroom and black truffle ravioli del plin. Tomorrow it's my job to cook, and I dipped into my cookbooks trying to find something a bit different than the usual coques. To my surprise, we also got Tokyo Godfathers in the mail, which the Old Man watched with me. It was thoroughly enjoyable--sentimental at times, stuffed with unlikely coincidences, but with beautiful mise en scène, some genuinely surprising twists, and a Japanese reggae cover of "Ode to Joy" just to wrap things up.
