Last night I left work and went straight over to Dave and Jen's place so we could all go out to dinner. We decided upon Beckam's Place, even though I was under the assumption that they had a fancy dress code, but they seemed ok with the fact that I was in jeans and Dave was in shorts (and Jen was in what Dave called her "O.R. scrubs" as in "oh, are they?"). For Cookie's benefit, Dave took a picture of our food, which presumably he'll post at some point, but we all had prime rib (Beckham's speciality) along with its usual accoutrements: creamed corn, creamed spinach and Yorkshire pudding. Jen and I had Hearts of Romaine salad while Dave had the French onion soup for starters, and then Jen and I had some kind of hot chocolate surprise thing for desert. Jen and Dave split a half bottle of wine and Dave also had a Guiness and a coffee, while I had cokes. Ok, now that Cookie's curiosities about dinner have been satisfied, I'll get on with the entry.
Afterwards we went back to Dave and Jen's place and chatted for a bit till Jen got too tired and went to bed. At that point Dave helped me upgrade my Movable Type here on my blog to the newest version (2.64 I believe). Its added a couple cool things, and I'm gonna have to mess with it some more to really get all the features going, but the main differences for now are that there is now a search function on my blog (you'll see it located over there on the left); you can now post pictures in the comments (if you know how to do an image tag in HTML anyway), and I can now close the comments or simply turn them off on some entries. I doubt I'll ever turn the comments off completely, but its nice to be able to close the comments on some old entries like this one and this one where I get a bunch of idiots who find those entries on Google and feel compelled to leave stupid comments a year or more after I made the entries. The other cool thing is that now when I make an entry it pings 3 places instead of just one, but that's not something anyone would ever see. So anyway, there you go. My blog is no longer powered by an almost 2 year old version of MT

Although it seemed like a good photo at the time, when i finally took a look at the picture of dinner, it kinda made me sick. I didn't take the shot when the plate first came to me, so the picture is actually a large plate of remains after i had devoured the good stuff. All i have to say is... a picture cannot start to tell how good the food is there.

Point taken, and you're probably right. I guess Cookie will just have to use his imagination then. Next time we'll be sure to get some pics right when the food arrives
