Dinner at Fratelli with Jim and Mary

Mary Donaldson gets a coffee while I admire her red purse that daughter Amy bought her from the Nike Employee Store. It is a Cole Haan. I think I need one just like it.Later in the evening we went out to dinner at Fratelli.

My special martini.

We shared some appetizers. Gravlox with fennel flat bread and horse radish creme fraiche. Warm cooked ham with honey, clove and blood orange sauce. Sauteed farro with roasted parsnip, garlic, black kale and Grana padano slivers.



I had a nice salad. Insalata di indivia. Frisee and Belgium endive salad with grilled onions, pears, fresh goat cheese and chive vinaigrette


Mary had Zuppa con zucca di inverno. Roasted butternut squash soup with candied prosciutto.

Jim had the pasta special.


Robert said his lasagna was "really good". Lasagna with beef, pork, and bechamel.


Mary and I ordered ravioli that was stuffed with asparagus and cheese, but you couldn't tell it. What was wonderful was the sauce! Yum!
