pizza club

yesterday was herceptin and my first echo. they periodically check your heart function when your on herceptin as it can adversely effect your heart. my cousin, yvonne came with me and we managed to have another "best day ever".

herceptin was quick, my doctor's office was awesome - lots of q's & a's and some investigating on this new idea a friend and i have had that relates somewhat to cancer & care.....then onto echo. only my dr. would send me to madison avenue for an echo:). my function was great (yippee!). felt like i got my first good news since being diagnosed....it's the first of many f/up tests before moving onto the next step so i was glad to get an "a" on this one. i brought charlie's rock with me for good luck.

it's coming in the bag to all of them!


it was fun walking on madison avenue - since being diagnosed i haven't really window shopped and it was fun glancing at the new spring fashions. yvonne is a great companion....she was game for anything. i dragged her to maboussin to see their rings. i love their amethyst rings - all their ads are starting to work on me!

big choice after - momofuku or motorino (recently rated best on the east coast for pizza...). yvonne and i decided it was a pizza day and headed downtown.....

so we walk into motorino and one of my friend's husband's who is friends with my sister from college is sitting there with his "pizza club". so fun. we all started comparing notes on pizza....pepe's, co, sal's, keste, no. 28, johnny's...these guys knew their pizza and they weren't sure if we could keep up...ha!

we ordered 2 pies, 2 salads and a bottle of wine and the eating began.

be still my heart - now this is a crust worth coming in for. i love co but motorino's crust is perfect....we were so thrilled with the ones we got that i asked our server if we were missing anything and he suggested we get the soppressata (we had ordered the margherita and the brussel sprout - OMG - awesome awesome) so we got another pie. bruce & his group were impressed. we may have passed muster and are hoping to get invited to the next 'za meeting.......:).

we were the last ones seated and i overheard our server and the guy he was talking to (the owner / chef, matthieu) (they were talking french and i knew he was from belgium). we asked if we could tell him how much we LOVED his pizza. he was adorable - came over and chatted and then i asked him if he'd ever met chris bianco - the famed best pizza in the country who coincidentally grew up and went to hs with ME :). i am dying (not right word i guess on a bc blog) but desperate, let's say to go to phoenix to try chris' pizza.....trying to shoot him an email to say hey.....

anyway, ended by going to milk bar and getting cookies & coffee to go....

came home and had to go to sleep for an hour.

great great day.
