Yes, this is my third blog post of the day. You would think I’m getting paid to blog.
Today for lunch I had a ‘what is about to go bad in my fridge lunch’:
Potatoes, Pinto Beans, Corn, Onions 
This mush bowl was actually pretty good. I seasoned it with taco seasoning and mixed in some ketchup. I’m poor, ok? Lay off.
And don’t feel sorry for me! Last night PT and I ate like kings at Buona Terra. Thursday night they have a $22 prix-fixe menu, which to them means any appetizer, entree, and dessert on the menu. We knew it was going to be good when we got the bread.
Garlic Goodness
The bread was served with this garlic, oil, and cheese spread that was out of control! We put it on everything that crossed our plates until they took it away.
Appetizers
We tried to be adventurous, and we also wanted to get way more than our moneys worth. PT got the Carpaccio de Baebadietola, which was thinly sliced beets with arugula and breaded goat cheese, and it was awesome! I got the Zuppa di Cozze, or black mussels in spicy tomato sauce, which was also so good. It was great spreading that garlicky sauce over the extra bread we got with mine, too.
Butternut Squash Ravioli
I ordered the Angelotti Zuca, or the butternut squash ravioli soaking in butter, in a good way. It was a lot of butter, though. The sage was out of control! I ate all the little sprigs.
PT's Seafood Linguine
PT was the real winner, though, ordering one of the specials. Linguine Frutta di Mare, which was delicious pasta with fish, mussels, calamari, and shrimp in garlicky red sauce. I might have eaten more of this than PT did.
PT's Tiramisu
PT loves Tiramisu, and this one was really good. I usually like more cake in my cake, but I had my fair share of this dessert!
Chocolate Pecan Tart
In what the Tiramisu was lacking in density my chocolate pecan tart made up for! The crust was chocolaty and pecany, and the chocolate gouache filling was very creamy and really good.
Overall, Buona Terra treated us right. We would for sure go there again, after May. Because May is going to be a money saving month! No eating out just the two of us, no spending money when it is just the two of us at all. We will only spend money when other people make us. Buona Terra was a great way to kick off the money saving month, though! I miss it already.
Bake A Lotta
This afternoon I baked up some cupcakes for the party tomorrow, and I kind of made blackberry muffins for muffin club this weekend. As you can see those muffins dropped like its hot. I picked at the one on the left and they taste good. So much for thinking I could leave out the eggs!
