My friend and former colleague Julie along with her husband Eric joined Dale and me for dinner last night at our place. I haven't seen Julie much since she changed schools a few years ago but whenever I do we have some lovely conversations which always include reminiscences about notable teaching moments. It was nice to have some quality time to catch up on recent events in our lives.
Dale made baked rigatoni (also called baked ziti) with Italian sausage. He also stir fried green beans and served up some garlic bread. I drank a couple sidecars. The rest of the crew wasn't drinking much besides water.
Dinner music included the album Love Songs by Rosemary Clooney and Cugi's Cocktails by Xavier Cugat.
Although I knew they used to live for a number of years by Mancini's in St. Paul, I didn't know they were fans. We've made some tentative plans to get together there in the next couple weeks.
