I'm looking for a restaurant to take some friends to after an event at Catholic University tonight. It will probably be around 9 p.m. Any thoughts?

I agree. Dr. Dunn and his staff are definitely worth the extra hassle of paying the bill yourself and filing with your insurance. Along with the excellent care received on a regular basis from him, I have had to call his service several times on the weekend before going on a trip. Each time, it has been Dr. Dunn who called me back, not one of his partners, and he was always familiar with my medical history, what I do for a living and special details pertinent to my case. I could not recommend him more highly. Vickie Reh

Food Matters was packed last night with people wishing them well. Tom was cooking his heart out up until the last minute. Hopefully now he can get some rest.

After time spent rearranging my cellar, I decided to splurge a little. I had found a forgotten case of 2002 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vieilles Vignes. I was a little nervous that I might have left it a bit long, but it was smooth and lovely. We followed that with a 1997 Sassetti Pertimali Brunello which was so beautiful. Both wines made me really happy. If only I could drink like that every night.

I had a really nice dinner at Dino's last Monday. It was my first time there since I unfortunately don't get to go out much. The stuffed duck neck was excellent and Dean sent us out a nice radish with anchovy sauce appetizer. I had a difficult time picking a wine because there were so many I wanted to drink, but finally settled on the 2007 Sassetti Rosso and it was very good. At the end of the meal, I went with a glass Pieri 2004 Brunello with my cheese course while my husband finished with the Altesino Grappa di Brunello. Hopefully, I'll make it over there again sometime soon.

2006 Chambre d'Edouard, Domaine Grosbot Barbara, Saint Pourçain Rouge. A delicious but geeky littly pinot noir from my friend Ed Addiss at Wine Traditions.

You may be a nerd, but you make damn good gelato. Congratulations on the compliments. You deserve them!

I managed to sneak out of Buck's during service on Tuesday to attend the Casa Nonna open house. I wasn't there that long as I had to get back to work, but it was really great seeing Amy and her crew (full disclosure, Amy and I are friends). I know how hard they have been working getting ready for this opening and how dedicated Amy is to the concept of Italian home cooking. A friend of mine who was there after me was able to snag some food from the pasta/meat station said it was really good, especially the chicken picata. Simple Italian food is one of my favorite things, and I'm excited about going back next Monday to taste at my leisure

I was at Terroir a couple of summers ago and my server was wearing an official Terroir t-shirt with the words Pedro F---ing* Ximenez on it. It tried to buy one as a present for Tom Brown but they were sold out. Too bad. *Except it was spelled out. I can't remember what the profanity rules are on this board. I'm sure someone will inform me in short order.

It's made with vinegar, not rennet, so the dish is vegetarian. My grandmother back in Kansas used to make her own cottage cheese. This isn't her recipe, but the memory of hers inspired me to learn to make it. I'm glad you liked it.
