Kasey had pink-eye the other day, and I was recuperating from my big trip to Duluth, so we had the opportunity to go out for lunch on a weekday.  We have a favorite little bistro called Prima's, on Lyndale Avenue in South Minneapolis.  It's an intimate little place with staff that has worked there for years, so we always feel welcome.

We ordered our favorite dish there.  It's the Prima Italian Chopped Salad.  Sometimes, on Friday nights after work, I'll call in an order and pick it up to go.  We always order it with extra gorgonzola cheese.   It's served with two kinds of bread.

Besides the food, we like the setting.  The decor is warm and we can watch the cooks practice their trade in an open kitchen. 

After lunch we stopped at Kasey's clinic and picked up a pair of glasses from the eye doctor who, earlier in the day, told Kasey she had beautiful eyes (she does), and asked her if she had been eating Christmas ornaments, because her lips had sparkles on them (lip gloss.)  Ah, those swarthy foreigners.  They're such rascals.

We topped off the outing by stopping at Barnes & Nobles in the Galleria in Edina to pick up a couple of the "Dummies" books about blogging and break their bindings at Starbucks.  It was a good day. 

I'm adding a blog to my favorites list that reviews local Twin Cities restaurants.  Check them out.
