Tonight I had the most delicious dinner at my favorite restaurant, Pizzaiolo in Oakland. Charlie Hallowell, the restaurant's owner and chef, seems to have making money as one of the lower priorities on his menu. In addition to creating menus with the most astonishingly delicious ingredients, he keeps opening the restaurant to charitable organizations. Tonight's Sunday Soup Supper was to benefit A Safe Place, a shelter committed to ending domestic violence.
Michael was off doing a fundraiser for Zen Hospice, so the kids and I gorged ourselves on soup and about thirty-seven pieces of bread. (72 points). Rosie was very zen-like and ate carrot soup, the boys and I ate our weights in pork pozole stew.
Goodness, I love Pizzaiolo... aren't we lucky to live in a place like Chez Panisse that pumps out "grads" to open their own restaurants in the same general area? Also love Bakesale Betty, also a CP alum.
