The countdown begins




I figured it was a reason to celebrate, so Latin Teacher and I, along with Latin Teacher's Best Friend (LTBF), who we love to have tag along (he was invited to our first date too), took the R-Line to J. Betski's, where there is easily the most interesting and fun bartender in Raleigh.

The meal started with some bratwurst and pierogies which were good
*(side note: I didn't know what LTBF would eat because he is a notoriously picky eater at a German/Polish restaurant, and will sometimes choose crackers and cheese for "dinner". But I was impressed with his open mindedness on the whole.)*
The next course was the pub plate Latin Teacher and I shared which was smoked salmon with an endive salad, and some rye toast. Honestly we have had better, but there were some really good bites from that dish.

Latin Teacher's Pilgrim Pal (LTPP) also met us at the restaurant (luckily we were sitting at the bar) and he got what looked like a "Real Meal" of Chicken with asparagus, spaetzle and mushrooms which made Latin Teachers' and my mouth water.

Lucky for us that LTBF is a desert eater, because he ordered an awesome strawberry chesse strudel (which we all got a few licks on).

LTBF was driving his wife and unborn child :) to the beach at 10:30pm and Latin Teacher wanted to catch up with LTPP so I went home with the puppy, watched some cheezy wedding dress shows and The Soup and went to bed.

It was a nice night (the weather could not have been better) and we got to catch up a little with those we don't see too often!
