This evening Jeanine and I dined with Maya’s new friend Annabelle and her parents at the Flatbread Co. The grown-up girls enjoyed bottled beer (as in root) while their parents got to know each other. Jeanine talked me into a vegetable-topped pizza featuring beets. My Italian heritage nearly forced me to object on principle. Thankfully, I was persuaded by Jeanine to give it a try and was quite surprised by how yummy the combination was.
