And With the Discovery of $12 Meals at Lassie's in Milford, Wednesday Nights Are a Blessing

Before the holidays, we discovered that Lassie's in Milford has incredible meals for $12 a plate and, with excellent Manhattans, it is also a location to have someone else cook for us and let us eat hefty for a night.

My dish? I love the chicken marsala, as I'm always a fan of mushrooms and mashed potatoes. The french onion soup is also specular.

After Tuesday night's graduate class and Wednesday morning's turbo, I knew I was coming home without a desire to cook.

Lassie's came to the rescue - a savior of sorts for a mid-week dinner (and I've learned from colleagues that they, too, frequent the restaurant for their dinners and "time out" from home cooking).

Wednesday, like Tuesdays of last semester, feels like my Fridays. I spend the weekend in preparation of them (and this weekend was catered to NCTE proposals). The bottom line is that I was fried and I just needed a good meal and my pillow.

Lassie's delivered.

Today, I have a to-do list that is monumental but for last night, I gave in to dinner and an opportunity to be away from screen. I'll be back at it this morning. That's just the way it is.

And with that, I'm heading to the office. Phew.
