oregano's a second time around

we decided to have dinner last friday before larry and gizie flies off to new jersey for the long fourth of july holiday. they'll be gone the whole of next week (w27) so it was a good time to get together while jowell was still in town. come to think of it, this was the first time we've all been in the US at the same time so it was also a cause for celebration.

we went to oregano's down in tempe (which is nearer the airport) because we had to drop off larry and gizie after dinner to catch their flight. we ordered our favorite guaca toni, pizza and honey-bbq wings. the guaca toni was still as good as last time and the wings were really delicious. of course, they actually were perfect with some bud light on hand. when dessert time came, we all feasted (again!!!) on a large macadamia & chocolate cookie with vanilla bean ice cream. it is still one of the most sumptuous desserts i've had during my stay here. i think it was also jowell's first time to have that dessert and he also loved it - so, it was 4 out of 4 people who loved this dessert so that just says how good it is.

we drove larry and gizie to the phoenix skyharbor airport right after dinner. we then went searching for a gasoline station since jowell had to fill-up his gas tank before he can have his car exchanged. we finally found one a few miles from the rental car return - there was a freaky dust storm blowing already that time. jowell managed to get another car, a chevrolet hhr - that's what its called i think. the car was quite nice, better than the kia he had before.
