get the keys, honey! we're going out!

...but poops isn't going. he's staying with the sitter. after our long day of recreation on saturday, we wanted to make a night of it, too. still having some gift certificate cash left over for Cafe Balaban's, the mrs. and i saddled up and drove to the cwe for some good cookin'.
.
my friend shawn, who has been with Balaban's for years, gave us a hefty gc for our wedding. it's taken a long time to use it up. we went there in july and only bit into about a third of it. last night, we devoured another third. i do mean devoured. good stuff, indeed, and the service is as good as any fine restaraunt. i highly reccomend the salmon.
