A few days ago we went to a restaurant down the street from Wrigley Field called Moxie. We had been planning on stopping in there for a while, at a time when our friend Marissa would be there cooking. We went on a freezing cold night and were immediately warmed by the friendly atmosphere, great drinks, and fantastic food. We started out with a few beers from the bar, including a new one, Dead Guy Ale a fine pale ale from the Rogue line. Sure, it was a bit cold out for a beer, but when you're committed to completing 10x40 you can't let a few low tempatures get in the way! As for food, the whole table began with hummus and pita with a twist -- a bit of red pepper flake or something along those lines -- which made a usually routine appetizer much more interesting and tasty. We then split a Carribean salad, followed by portabello and goat cheese in a wonderful sauce and skewered shrimp in an excellent pesto sauce. Friends at the table let us try their crab cakes and gnocchi which were also quite good. Great company, great food, and it was fun to see our friend happily cooking away in Moxie's kitchen -- what more could you ask for?
