Busy weekend ahead, prepping for the Super Bowl party, etc. Quiet morning, which was nice. Lillian and I went to Lyft Headquarters for lunch where Jessica works. Setup is similar to Twitter where workers have all sorts of perks to work hard and stay near the building, offering free lunch options that are so good. I had African food and it was delicious. I've never seen so many rows of monitors and tables before. It was great catching up with Jessica. She seems so happy and has a wonderful job.
Afternoon was active with lots of jobs coming in after 3. I managed to finished all but one, which I'll wrap up over the weekend.
Alice and I met her accounting client Michael for dinner at the new Italian restaurant called Che Fico on Divisidero. It was spectacular.
Our first course was a very soft cauliflower sformato or flan type dish. It was wonderful and light, with crunchy bread crumbs on top. What a way to start.
Along with our sformato, we had assorted Italian dry salamis with sliced pear, all very tasty.
Michael ordered a carrot dish that was different, inventive, and very good.
Our waitress recommended a pineapple pizza that was very good. Michael was dubious about pineapple on a pizza, but it worked.
Our final entry, a wonderful rock fish, was a bit hit. All dishes were absolute winners. I love this place!
For dessert, we shared a deep dish crostata with a scoop of ice cream. Heaven!
Michael has become a dear friend to us. He lost his husband two years ago and has carried on bravely through grief and loneliness. We love his company and cherish his friendship. This was a night to remember!
The atmosphere at Che Fico is infectious, lively and fun. It's like we're in New York on a Saturday night. It's one truly happening spot. I loved being part of it!
