Last time at Pizzeria Grano, alien impregnation, splitting the bill, tiramisu

Texted Eric about the Coke Zero bottles possibly freezing in the snowy weather tonight, toques, gloves, mittens, and winter coats. Eric picked me up at 6:40 PM in the snowy weather so we could meet Jon, Christon, Alice, Randal, and Nathan at Pizzeria Grano for the last time before it permanently closes on March 3. Kevin bailed. YUCK, A GROUP OF EIGHT AND FORCED TIPPING! We also figured how to transport the free 24 bottles of Coke Zero from Superstore. Of course I had the Whittaker’s Dark Ghana / Dark Peppermint chocolate bars for Harmony’s birthday! I also had the NEW Caribbean-inspired President’s Choice World of Flavors Pineapple / Banana / Passionfruit 70% dark chocolate bar, a NEW Middle Eastern-inspired President’s Choice World of Flavors Pistachio / Rose Flavor / Sea Salt white chocolate bar, and a NEW Colombian-inspired President’s Choice World of Flavors Caramelized Cocoa Nibs and Coffee 52% dark chocolate bar. Also had a NEW Indian-inspired President’s Choice World of Flavors Mango and Cardamom 70% dark chocolate bar, the President’s Choice Loads of Fruit and Nuts milk chocolate bar (almonds / hazelnuts / cranberries), the President’s Choice Loads of Gummies and Candies milk chocolate bar (blackcurrant / raspberries / blackberries / candy drops), the President’s Choice Loads of Movie Night milk chocolate bar (roasted salted corn / popcorn), the President’s Choice Loads of Birthday Cake white chocolate bars x2 (sprinkles / meringue pieces), President’s Choice Loads of Berries and Cherries white chocolate bar (raspberries / strawberries / cherries) for Nathan in another reusable bag.

Eric and I could definitely see snowfall accumulation at Oak and 50th. Got to Pizzeria Grano after 7. We discussed MOTHER 3, Nathan’s alien impregnation, Nathan’s incoming diabetes from my chocolate bars (which he thanked me for), Alice not recognizing Canucks players, Randal’s novels, WordPress, Alice’s pregnancy and pharmacist work, preparing their kid for the new baby, Beckett, Ayler, piano lessons, chicken pox, Covid or coronavirus, XENOBLADES, and brain fog. Beckett picked up hand, foot, and mouth disease a couple of weeks ago?! He infected the whole family?! I complained to Jim about splitting the bill and the automatic gratuity while getting away with paying only $20. I’m not paying for beers and tiramisu that I DID NOT EAT! Got home at 9:45 PM. The Canucks played the Penguins at 7 tonight, and lost 4-3 in overtime.

Olives at Pizzeria Grano!
