Elizabeth and I celebrated Valentine's Day together last night. We tried out a local Italian restaurant (her request) that I had read about online called Ask. It's housed in the York Assembly Rooms, an old 18th century building with a magnificent main hall. Marble pillars, Grecian statues, chandeliers (with flame-shaped light bulbs, of course) and some oil portraits of obscure Yorkshire dignitaries. The food was delicious. She had some kind of fish-stuffed ravioli and I had the aptly-named Vesuvio pizza. It was one of the hottest things I've ever eaten. We had some very tasty wine with our meal, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Neither of us are wine experts by any means, but we were very pleased nonetheless.
