A great time.

The town I live in is not exactly a metropolis. Don't get me wrong, this has been a great place to raise my children, and I believe my wife and I made the right choice as to where to build our home. The downside is that the town has just three main cultural activities: churches, bars and pizza restaurants. Besides a small take-out Chinese restaurant and a members-only sportsmen club, there are in fact four pizza joints serving this quaint borough. Luckily there is one that stands above the rest, named "Sal's Pizza Style." The owner, oddly enough named Sal, makes some great meals, including a red clam sauce that I think I could drink like a cocktail. His meatballs are almost as good as my wife's (and that is saying something!). We ate there last night (my wife, father, younger son and I) and had a great time. An additional benefit is that it is BYO, and I brought a 2007 chianti classico from Rocca delle Macie. A medium-priced wine; nothing fancy, but with a balanced taste that went well with our meals. Good food and wine, with some good conversation and a few laughs; like I said, a great time.
