i got promoted yesterday at work to associate staff (i was assistant staff).  i also got a nice fat pay raise!  i've been waiting for this to happen for some time now and i have pushed a little, so i'm really happy that it happened finally!

to celebrate, jeff and i went out to porcini's in watertown, amazing italian food!  we had wild mushroom strudel that was amazing for an appetizer.  then jeff had the saltimboco (veal) and i had the risotto special with lobster, leeks and mushrooms in a tomato saffron base.  for dessert, we took some canoli home that had a cinnamon flavor to them, very tasty!  all in all a wonderful meal out!
