We meet Meg's Parents

Bob, Ellen and Megan

We all met at a really nice Italian restaurant. Meg's parents are so nice! Mike and Bob really hit it off and I enjoyed talking to Ellen. It was a little noisy so sometimes we had to repeat ourselves but it was still enjoyable. The food was outrageous and I ate a little too much (so my stomach tells me today) but really liked it. I had shrimp parmigiana.

Michael sat next to me so I was mostly talking with him. He had osso buco, which we learned means 'bone with a hole.' It is made with veal shank. Michael said it was very  tender and delicious. I might try it someday.

Mike snuck off, pretending to look for the men's room, but he actually stopped the waiter for the check. Bob asked for it too but somehow it ended up going to Mike. I hear that Ellen was upset because she felt they should pay for it, since they made the arrangements. I feel it was mutual and it was just easier for Mike to pay. Bob handled the tip.

I'll have to have Megan tell her mother we can meet out our way another time and they can pick up the bill, lol!
