I wonder about those couples who have to schedule special date nights. Tonight after yoga, my man spontaneously took me out to a delightful dinner of pesto pizza and saffron osso bucco risotto at Beretta, a trendy little restaurant and bar in the foodie district of Valencia St.

As he suggested, I think my mother would enjoy it. We should plan to take her there soon.

(By the way, here’s an example of a photo that was better without the HDR setting. More contrast improves food photography.)
