La Persaud
Last night, on a whim, decided to head out for supper. I was in the mood to try something new, and Michael could see that there was no negotiation. I poked around in Urban Spoon and came across La Persaud and remembered that I had promised to try this place out. We called for reservations…

Potato Pancakes!
Supper’s ready, and where’s my husband? He’s with our rental car, a running rental car, with the keys sitting smug in the ignition in the locked car. Michael is not inside the car where he should be. Thankfully, he’s at work so he has a safe, warm place to wait, until rescued. So what does…
