T Stands For Avivo

Sally and I decided we don't want to take chances on restaurants we don't know anything about,

so we are headed back to Avivo TWICE, where we get excellent pizza every time we visit.

I convinced Sally to smile and she did it beautifully.  I love this photo of her.

While perusing the menu, we both drank our water with lemon.

After we ordered, I took a few photos of the ambiance,

including the chef who gladly put on a show for me as I snapped photos.

Sally and I both got pizzas.  Hers was tomato based with meat, mine was alfredo based vegetarian.

The second time we went

Sally brought her DSLR.  She has three lenses for it, but only brought the one that was on the camera, a 50 mm lens.

Once again, I got her to smile, while I tried to make sense of her instruction manual.

She has always owned Canon cameras, and this is her fifth she uses.  While traveling, she usually takes two that are point and shoot, and one that requires a bit of manual handling.  Recently, when we were at the zoo, she told me she found two more Canon cameras she might try using again.  HMMM!  That makes seven, but I never, ever see her using her camera.

This time the chefs were not as accommodating, probably because they were so busy.

So I entertained myself by taking a few photos of the restaurant.  Yes, that's the same purse I've owned for many years.  I just sent NINE purses to the thrift store because they are too large.  I think I've mentioned I'm a low maintenance gal who doesn't like to carry much in my purse.

Sally got calzone and I got what I thought was a veggie pizza with alfredo sauce.  Instead, I got a meat lover's pizza.  I didn't argue or send it back because the sausage and pepperoni actually looked good.

Sally said she really liked her calzone, but I only ate two pieces of my pizza and took the rest home where I shared tried to share the meat with my boys.  Yes, I know you aren't supposed to feed human food to cats, but Bleubeard stuck his nose up to the meat, and Squiggles sniffed, licked, quickly shook his head several times (the way cats sometimes do), then turned away.  Guess they are smarter than I realized. 

Did you ever order something only to find out it was not what you ordered?  Did you return it, or refuse to create a fuss, then end up taking most of it home?  Regardless, please share your drink experience with us for T this week.  It can be anything, including going out and about, reviewing a recent book you read or a movie you watched about a drink, making art, whether traditional, hybrid, or digital, taking photos of lovely and interesting tea or coffee events, or sharing your T day with us at home with a cup, mug, teapot, or other drinking vessel.  Please link your T post below and we'll be by to visit.
