Firenze' Frenzy! - November 17th, 2009

Or should I say "Friends-y"? Yeah, it was pretty much the core group as we hit the town in Encinitas for our most recent Crosby Ladies Night Out. After some rescheduling and a change in venue, we settled on the always delicious Firenze' Trattoria. Last year, we had our biggest turnout of the year at this place. Turns out the food is still as yummy as ever, and no matter our group size, there is always fun to be had!



So glad we went outside to pose by the fountain...LOL!




Insalata Caprese, I think...



Which "DISH" is more delish?!




Annette and Melissa







Nariman and Dina






Melissa with Kat who had tea and cranberry juice with her dinner. Yeah.

Note to Melissa's husband: Dave, quit shackeling our buzz!







Lauren and Erika










Our waiter, "Antonio Banderas" (Cliff). In this "amazing Iphone photo" from Melissa, actually kind of reminds me of Sassan, Dina's hubby. Very nice!
We'll be back next year, Firenze'!

Ladies Night Out at "Iris"

Sorry for the tardiness of this post...I am sure you all know how crazed I am with the holiday photography. It has been so long since I posted, that I don't even remember what month it was that we went to Iris. I am going to guess that it was September, because I missed October's outing, and will miss the last Ladies Night Out of 2009 at C-Level as well. So bummed.

Anyway, back to Iris. Most of us met at my house, and proceeded to carpool over to the Del Mar area restaurant just in time to see the golden sunset. The food was delicious, and the menu offered many variations of traditional dishes that delighted the palate! We all had a great time, as usual!


My recently engaged and soon-to-be neighbor Jacquie Cervantes joined us for the first time!

Gorgeous chunks of sea glass adorned an outdoor bench.


Yeah, we're at the right restaurant.

Should we have a glass of wine before we go?!


The group version #1...OK Teresa, switch!



Yeah! Lisa behind the lens again! All is well with the world!
Love you all!
