number of four, things are looking pretty good for the Cubs at this point. Their pitchers are coming on and their big hitters have all gotten hot in the last few weeks! Susan tried to get playoff tickets over the web this weekend, but sadly she did not get lucky in the lottery.On Saturday we took an architectural tour on a boat on the river which was fantastic. Our tour guide was an extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic volunteer who crammed huge amounts of interesting tidbits into an hour and half tour. For dinner, we returned to Nacionale 27, our new favorite restaurant in Chicago. After three interesting appetizers, we all enjoyed our entrees quite a lot as well. Susan had sole with tasty potatoes and leeks, Kate had salmon with an interesting topping and sauce, Stephanie had chicken and Moe had halibut. Kate had a Palma Louca beer from Brazil which was very good. Susan had an Imperiale which also good, but not quite as tasty as Kate's. We also had great deserts of flan and coffee brulee. On top of great food, this place has a great atmosphere -- all the hustle and bustle of a city club without any of the pretension or snobbery.
On Sunday we were planning to go a matinee of a play, but when we got there we discovered that the play had been cancelled! So it was back to the apartment to catch the end of the Cubs game, another route of the Pirates, 8-0. Stephanie and Kate made some great falafel and bean and chick pea stew, followed up by coconut / lemon fudge. Yum! Great weekend all around!
