Lindsay and I have both been so busy that we haven’t had much of a chance to just have a normal Saturday night out. Last night we finally managed it.

First we had dinner at The Civic in the Broadview Hotel:

• Petite Thuet sourdough w/ cultured butter
• freshly shucked west coast & east coast oysters w/ hot sauce, horseradish, lemon
  • glasses of Champagne
• 36oz herb-crusted bone-in dry-aged ribeye w/ confit shallot, roasted sunchokes
• crispy potatoes
  • bottle of Malbec

Then we went to the Crows Theatre to see Stars: Together, a play by and about the band Stars. It was musical-ish and autobiographical-ish, not quite like anything I’ve seen before.

We capped off the evening with glasses of wine (including one of the mulled variety) at Chez Nous.

Today we’re right back at it but it was nice to shut off for those few hours last night.
