the baked lasagna enriched with a wheelbarrowful of bechamel, the house-made pasta, alive under the teeth, buried under an ultradense sauce fashioned from tomatoes and minced pigeon.
I was having a lovely gourmasm until I got to "pigeon". I'm sure they're farm-raised and food-quality and all that, but to me, a pigeon is the beady-eyed air rat that is watching you eat that pretzel and calculating how to get it away from you while it poops on your head.

We can call it "squab" if you prefer.
Il Moro is of the yum. Only been there once, but it was very memorable.
Just back from the doc and it was as I suspected. Operation time. What follows is medical stuff:
There are three fibroids and the biggest one is growing toward my back, so it managed to elude detection until now. This explains the daily backaches. Unfortunately, it is big enough that having a cool laparascopic hysterectomy with its quick recovery time is not viable. I have to have a regular abdominal one, and he told me that means I have to spend three days in the hospital and take 4-6 weeks off work. 6 weeks? Really? That seems long.
As soon as they get authorization from my insurance we'll schedule the surgery. Good thing is that it is going to be at St. Joseph's, which is a very good hospital that is only 3/4 of a mile from my house. We walk the dog over there all the time. Nice that it's so close.
Oh, Robin. I'm sorry. {{{Robin}}}
Well, at least this gives me time to watch Season Two of The Wire, which my mom gave us for Christmas.
Robin, I'm glad you have your answer and things can happen quickly from here -- the recovery thing sucks, but aside from that, everyone I've known who's been through the same thing was very happy for the relief in the end.
Robin... Ick about the surgery and yeah, 6 weeks is probably what it will take. My BFF had the same procedure, for the same reason, you're having and she was down for the count for a good month and it took about 2 more weeks to get back to 100%. That said, she's so glad that she had it done just from a pain standpoint. For that alone she said the surgery was worth it.
