There are not many places that I will eat red sauce at.  (actually, only 2)  This is one of them.  Santaserios has been on the West Side of Buffalo for as long as I can remember.  It was the only place we ever went to have sauce if mom didn't make it.  Not that we went out very often as kids, there were 5 of us!!  But last night we had some running around to do and decided to pick up my sister Gina and go grab a bite to eat.  This is how it went.

First we had to have hot peppers.  Simple yet sooooo good.

Moving on, we shared some pasta fasoola and macaroni and peas. Yum.

And to finish it off, eggplant parmigiana.  One of my most favorite meals.

And I might need to mention that we stopped and got big as your face cookies from the Lexington Co-op Market and had them for dessert!!  It was a great!

Look how big Loki has grown.  He will be one year old this week!  Besides the fact that he is a plant killer (we learned after planting our garden) he is a good dog.  We even taught him to watch the Dog Whisperer :)

He loves Ceaser and the dogs.

But his favorite thing still is balls.  He loves any kind of balls, squeaky, tennis, squishy or hard.  And he can catch them too, he can play catch all day and all night.  He will just keep bringing you the ball and bringing it to you and bringing it to you.  He never gets tired :)
