O.k., I did a double take on that title.....>>>>>Happy V.D. everyone!!! <<<<<


Happy Venereal Disease!!!! Huh???

Then it hit me...Valentine's Day Guess I should have figured that out sooner.

My sweetie took me to Ristorante Avanti on the West side of Santa Cruz. We've been going there on V.D. (uh, that's Valentine's Day, not Venereal Disease) for about 12 years.

I had champagne, bruschetta, mixed chickories with gorganzola and apples, chicken caccitore (spelling), polenta, creme brulee, some wonderful red wine and a glass of port that was older than I was!!! Yummy
