Thursday 1 March
This is the weekend that prospective grad students gather here, and Kathleen kindly threw an open house so that they, the faculty, and current grad students could all mix and mingle. Everyone near-sightedly tried to read each other's name tags as we circulated with glasses of wine and cheezy-weezies, but there was a nice fire for us to settle before, and we had some good chat and banter.
Dewey's supplied the pizzas on this occasion. It's a chain that began locally, but is still expanding in the Midwest. Their pizzas are a bit better than most local joints', though we still mourn the closing of our previous favorite, No Anchovies.
There were eight different pies, among them pepperoni (a bit mingy with the meat), prosciutto with pickled peppers (?!), and a pretty good pizza bianca with artichokes. That and a big leafy salad with mustard balsamic dressing satisfied everyone.
