There's this fantastically delicious place in Midvale (I think) called Buca di Beppo. Matt took Kim, Petey, Mary Raymer, and I to Buca di Beppo for some savory Italian food, family-style.
The decorations in the restaurant are probably the most excellent I've ever seen. First of all, the walls are PLASTERED with pictures upon pictures upon pictures. Most of them are of Italian peoples doing Italian people things like big-bellied men standing in a speedo, big families hugging each other, little boys picking their nose, or even a group of people, er, showing their backsides. Some of the decorations were advertisements, but the rest of the things that weren't statues or pictures were... are you ready for it? CATS! There were pictures of kittens spread throughout the pictures of life in Italy, and there was even one large, notable cat tapestry that I would love to have in my future home.
The waiter led us through the kitchen, where she showed us a dinner table in the cooking area that you could pay extra to eat at. It would seem to me as if that might be a wee big noisy in there.... we also passed a table with a rotating Pope bust that apparently would talk to you. Excellent.
Well after we were seated and after we flipped through the menu and decided what we all wanted, we decided to start off with an Apple Gorgonzola salad, which was big enough to feed all five of us two or three times around. We then got our 2.5 ft long Chicken Pesto pizza, which was marvelous, and I don't usually like pesto that much! We also got the Quattro al Forno, which was a dish of four different pastas- stuffed shells, manicotti, ravioli, and chicken cannelloni.
Everything tasted so excellent, and we managed to eat everything so we didn't have to bring home leftovers. Thanks, Matt for taking us to this meraviglioso ristorante.
When we took a trip to the bathroom, we discovered the wall was covered with dozens of old-fashioned beauty advertisements and random things like an old-fashioned bra and this lovely framed advice.
Also in the bathroom, particularly in one of the stalls. Such words of wisdom!

Way awesome! Sounds fantastic! Looks like you're having a lot of fun at home for the summer!
I miss you, and Hubbard a little bit... but I get over him pretty quickly. I didn't like that class so much.... We never paid attention. :)
this is amazing.
