Friday night dinner with the gang at Moxie's. It's a cool, hip restaurant in a strip mall in the Cleveland suburbs. The food wasn't bad (it wasn't great) but it was a bit pricey for Cleveland standards. I had the Hudson Valley foie gras with the basil sorbet and peach chutney - I LOVE foie gras and the velvet-y texture that melts in my mouth. For my entree, I had the diver scallops with risotto cakes.

Besides the good food, I think the best part about Friday night dinners (sounds very Gilmore Girls) is the people and the laughter. These guys crack me up - they talk about the attendings and nurses they work with and all their little quirks. I can't wait to meet the actual attendings in person and say "oooohh, you're the one who looks like H.S.". Actually I may get the chance to do that at this afternoon's get-together at the home of Mr. Moc's program director. I've even been asked to get my gay-dar to use at the get-together.

Back to Friday night, after dinner we headed out of the 'burbs and over to the downtown area to D'Vine Wine Bar. Even though we all got a little tipsy and giggly, we were still able to figure out which celebrity Shaggy (see picture posted with this blog) resembles....Jim Caviezel except Shaggy's hair is lighter in color. What do you think? --MM
