Day 272: Feeding the Monster

I have a cat named Monster, but he is not what I'm referring to in this entry's title.  I'm referring to my noisy, growling tummy!!  I was absolutely famished tonight!

First, we attempted to go to the Balboa Cafe but there was an hour wait to sit down.  So, we walked a couple of blocks to Bistro Aix where two great surprises awaited me.  First, I ran into an old friend whom I had not seen nor spoken to in ages - and since there was a short wait to sit down, we were able to catch up.

The second surprise was tonight's special:  Spaghetti with Maine lobster, tomatoes, and basil.  Lobster?!?  Just what the monster ordered!!  Not only was the dish delicious, but it was loaded with lobster and only cost $25!  The monster and my wallet are super happy tonight!
