by rsiv withLil Steve and Jess came over to help up celebrate EF’s 9th Monthaversary.
They brought some amazing gelato. It was hard to pick a favorite. The black sesame was pretty silly though.
Then later in the week, lil and Jess came back for some Mexican.

The next evening, we splurged on some fancy waygu beef from the Organic Butcher and had a very decadent meal.

by rsiv withI’ve been taking my truck to the All Tune and Lube since I’ve had it. I have a guy a trust for my BMW, but I needed someone different when I got the truck. Not long after I bought the truck from my uncle, I took it over to Smokey’s Garage in Falls Church when the hood release cable got worn out. Smokey’s is the closest garage to me. They called me about four hours later to tell me they couldn’t figure out how to pop the hood and that I’d need to take it somewhere else. I had been able to pop it with a screwdriver and some perseverance, despite being particularly mechanically inclined, so I knew Smokey’s was just blowing me off (or are really really bad at their job). After writing them a fairly scathing yelp review, I found ATL and never looked back. They have done great work for me, so when I saw on yelp that they closed, I was devastated. I drove by to see if I could figure out what happened, and fortunately, its just an ownership change, and the same guys are still there doing the work. To date I’ve had Tom at A.T Auto Services replace my suspension, replace the brakes, replace some driveshaft bushings, cables, etc. I’ve been very satisfied with the work done and price charged each time. I definitely recommend them. A.T. Auto Services is the place to take your truck in Northern Virginia.

I’ve always been a big fan of Greek salad. I saw something about grilling octopus the other day on twitter and got inspired.
I got some frozen spanakopita and a couple bottles of Greek wine and we had a meal.
For dessert, I got baklava and gelato. It was a great meal, and we enjoyed getting the family together on such a pleasant evening.
