Fran, your food is filling. So filling. And sooo delicious. Hubs and I dropped by for a casual dinner and pretty much ordered way too much. Big shocker, I know, but really we couldn't help ourselves. The menu was filled with comfort food goodness.

Well, it's a good thing I wore a flowy dress and an adjustable slide belt to dinner at Nakato. Not only did my belt "adjust" on its own, but hubs and I took home a combined box of leftovers that fed us for a few meals afterwards, too!
