Once Lisa and I got off of work for the holidays, we played a little bit. OK, a lotta bit. First, we went to see a play at Houston's Alley Theatre, called "The Santaland Diaries." It's the real-life story of David Sedaris' experience as Crumpet the Elf in department store Macy's Santaland display. The production is completely irreverent and we were quite amused to hear the tales of odd elves, Santas, and parents with kids in tow. Then, we headed on over to an upscale Italian restaurant called Birraporetti's. I had the cheese tortellini, and I can highly recommend it. Lisa liked her garlic mashed potatoes, as part of her La Dolce Vita. (See their menu, and your mouth will be watering!)We also made a visit to Galveston's Moody Gardens last week, to see their aquarium and their Festival of Lights display. I admit it was awesome to see a giant sea turtle, several sharks and a barracuda swimming just a couple feet over my head. If you watch the goofy penguins long enough, you will laugh. We had Italian cuisine that night, too, this time at Napoli's. The bar upstairs is actually pretty cool, with a great view.
For another very special night out, we dined at Bonnie's Beef and Seafood. My Porterhouse was pretty good, but Lisa didn't care for her catfish. The salad bar is very good, though, and the place is very cozy. Lisa did get a loaded baked potato, too, so we both left full.
I figure if Lisa and I do enough of this, we could start our own service on the web as your entertainment guide for Houston. You'd all fund such a service, right?
