Hannah's Uncle Todd (Tim's brother) came to visit us this past week. On the agenda was a White Sox (Tim's team) and Yankees (Todd's team) game. The game was rained out on Tuesday so they made it up the next day which was fortunate b/c Tim was off. Anyway, the Yankees lost so Todd had to wear a Sox jacket (not exactly, the truth is it was very cold and wet when they first went to the game so it was freeze or buy a jacket.) Chicago weather can be brutal and Todd made a wise decision. Of course Tim couldn't forget about his little girl so Hannah got a Konerko T-shirt and Sox baseball cap.
Thursday night Hannah and I took Todd to Greektown for dinner while Tim was at school. It was my first trip to Greektown as well. Being the adventurer that I am, I suggested we get the family style meal (we ordered #1). Well, for one I wanted to taste different things. And it was a full course meal complete with baklava and coffee! The first dish that was brought out was Taramosalata, this pinkish spread.
Todd and I just looked at each other. See, I had been "studying" the menu earlier at the lab so I knew what it was. We both tried it. I told Todd I would tell him what it was AFTER he tried it. "Considered Greek caviar, this is a blend of cod roe with potatoes, onions, & olive oil". Todd was relieved but he had thought worse. I tried it and say I tried it. Period. Anyway, we enjoyed everything else that came after that, especially the roast lamb.
The rest of the time Todd explored Chicago on his own. Maybe he will have some great pictures and I can post them.
We had a great visit and hope you'll come back!
