Friday Night Fun

Dinner at Le Barrique last night proved to be one of our best meals in a while. And, for the amount of food we got, it was really quite reasonable at only 40 euro a head (including a bottle of wine). I had fresh homemade ravioli filled with beets, served in a creamy truffle sauce. It was absolutely.amazing. Then, I had sea bream fish with sauteed spinach. Chris had an appetizer trio with eggplant parmesan, stuffed artichoke, and marinated onions and then had mixed sashimi as his secondo. Buono. We WILL be going back to Le Barrique. The ambiance was super cozy. We felt like we were at a friend's house eating because the place was tiny and warm. Okay before this starts to sound like some sort of snooty food review, let's move on to the pictures: Me + ravioli = happiness

We topped off the evening with the Cuban music I mentioned in my former posts. We got to the Jazz Club in time to reserve a table near the stage. The band was awesome- it felt like the four guys were all old friends who have been playing for years. Overall our Friday night was quite.a.success. Tonight, Saturday, will be way less productive as I plan to stay in and do some World Wide Webbage. :)
