. Sure it costs $15 or so, but much cheaper than paying some guy $40 to jam your car into his driveway with 4 others. But meters are never fun.
Last night, shrimp with a spicy tomato pesto (from a jar) over polenta and a salad. I'm not sure what made it pesto, but it was basically like a more intense tomato sauce.
Tonight, we're trying a new-for-us Mexican restaurant.
We're not currently taking Lyft. And this was Evanston, so meter fees are not that expensive, in total, we probably paid $8 max, and would have paid $30 if we took a Lyft.
