The Thirty-Seventh...

Number Thirty-Seven:






Home, Tastebuds American Bistro, Takeout, Pizza










MMMmm! Great pizza in the Northside! Tastebuds is a subtle restaurant in the small business district of our neighborhood. Very humble storefront, it's a small place that grew from a catering joint a few doors down. Inside, it's chock full of great food; from pizza to a burger to a prix fixe menu (weekdays) to my go-to favorite when we are there; Sliced Sirloin with Blue Cheese Risotto, Haricot Vert & Smoked Tomato-Red Wine Sauce. It's an excellent family run place when you want to dress up a little more too.

L. was coming home from work and a frustrating store to store hunt for taper candles (no one hardly carries them anymore), so I ordered us up a pie for Jeopardy! Friday night parking in the small strip of a business district in the Northside can definitely be dodge-y. Alas I had no choice but to park in the Once Upon a Vine parking lot, where you better be a customer or get towed (so the sign says), so...buy a beer THEN pick up the pie a few doors down. Yeah, twist my arm to buy a beer! Ha!

It was a few moments after dinner when I noticed that L. had changed the magnet lettering we have on the back of one of our doors:

Festivus!

Ah, a nice Festivus greeting, for the rest of us! :-)

These little magnet letters bring great joy to the Fungalow (Fun + Bungalow) household. The phrase before this that had hung on since Memorial Day?
