Last night we stepped up our game a bit. We actually got take out pizza. Yup. We left our home to get the food. It's a big deal. Honestly.
Noah's Ark is a Des Moines institution. They've been around forever and serve up traditional Italian food.
People rave about their pizza but I've never tried it. So we decided to give it a go last night.
It was, indeed, worthy of the title "The Pizza King". A perfect thin crust. A completely swoon-worthy sauce that had complex flavors. A spicy Italian sausage. Marinated portobello mushrooms. Cheese.
Sigh. Good stuff.
We paired our pizza with water and wine, respectively, and The Tale of Despereaux.
Do you speak Kate DiCamillo? She's one of my favorite authors. Her characters unfold in unexpected ways. There's always a moral of the story. And it's a really good one.
Despereaux is such a fantastic character. So is Botticelli, the rat.
We read the book forever ago, but have never watched the movie.
It was a keeper.
Afterwards, we talked about forgiveness and how powerful it can be.
Then we danced to this ditty:
Alicia Keys - Fallin'
Happy weekend, all!
