So yesterday the Chef and I celebrated two happy years of marriage. We had a total fancy pants evening.
-We drove to Dry Ridge (about 50 miles away) for Skyline Chili.
-The Chef surprised me with a cake from Martine. It was triple chocolate and just absolutely to-die-for.
-We bought ourselves a Wii.
Thoroughly. Awesome.

S'all good!
So last night we ate at Saul Good Restaurant near the mall. Our server neglected to tell us that during happy hour pizzas are half-price. I got a salad. I was pissed.
Anyway, the food was pretty good. The pizza crust on Chef's pizza was an itty bit soggy, but the toppings were amazing. He got Saul Meat pizza which the menu describes as arrabiata tomato sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, maple pepper bacon, ham, and ground beef. The pizza also had bits of tomato on top which I thought was tasty and fresh scattered parsley on top which made it pretty. I like pretty food (who doesn't?). When Chef offered me a piece he told me, "You'll tear up a bit." I didn't know if he meant from heat or from divine taste. It was good pizza, but I didn't tear up.
I got a spinach salad. Now let's be clear--vegetables and I aren't the best of friends (unless battered, fried, and covered in cheese). But this salad did indeed make me weep a little with joy. It was a large salad, covered in a mild champagne pear vinaigrette, tossed with blue cheese, cranberries, and candied pecans. There are also red onions, but I took those off. Also in the mix are slices of pear. The pear added a delightful texture and flavor to the salad, but I think they might have come straight out of the can. They had that milly texture of canned pears. I certainly have no problem with canned pears, but it just seemed disconnected to the rest of the salad, which was quite elegant. Also served with the salad was a warm cheese covered breadstick, which is what good garlic bread should be. It was crisp on the outside, melty on the inside, and a general good time to eat.
For the size of the salad, $7.95 was a very good price. But, had I know I could have gotten one of their pizzas for less, I would have opted for the pizza.
They have a respectable beer list. Chef got a Hoegaarden.
The last time I ate here I got a chicken and waffle. Interesting, but not exactly something I'd want to do again. Maybe if it were white meat chicken, and I had given up on my arteries I would eat it again. Chef refuses to move away from the pizzas, and I do believe this is where Saul Good's strength lies.
Happy Tuesday!
