I like these quick hits because they give me a chance to clear my mind and share something that is not directly related to the daunting work of getting PlansForUs off the ground. No one really tells you how hard it’s going to be, but man, there are just a litany of issues, particularly as a 1st timer.

Anyway, last night my beautiful wife and I made a great dinner, albeit an utterly gluttonous one, that had us both staring blankly by the end. This is a rarity at our home, because there is a lot of great take out in Union Square and most importantly…we don’t have a dishwasher. So without further ado here is our meal from last night.

Garlic and Olive Oil Smashed Potatoes-Really good, easy, fresh potatoes. With that said it took us about 20-25 minutes to get our potatoes properly tender.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts-These are just ridiculous. We have them all the time, they are easy and so good it is astounding. Also, it ends up that they are really good for you. A bonus.

Burgers-I am from the Midwest, so it is rare that a meal goes by without it including some sort of meat. As you can see, this meal was consistent with that theme.

Berger Blauer Zweigelt 2006-This wine is cheap and good. The linked review does a better job of describing the flavors. I can just tell you that my wife and I enjoyed it very much. A bonus feature to this wine is that they use a bottle cap to “cork” the wine. Really kind of awesome.

There is a question going around the NextNY forums about blogs as labors of love…I will admit that this blog is absolutely a labor of love. That said I would always love to hear from my readers, it makes me feel awesome to see a comment in the morning, or to see a new reader on my Feedburner or MyBlogLog.

Enjoy the weekend, I’ll be seeing a near complete look at our new PlansForUs wireframe design, which will really improve our user experience. Looking forward to it.
