Laura and I went to El Guapo (Powerderhouse Sq in Somerville) for dinner tonight. We realized that we had't eaten out in quite some time. Together at least. I think this resturant is great. Despite the not-so-glowing review in the Boston Globe, I think it has a decent atmosphere (its a bar, not a classy restuarant) and some killer food.

The entrees are on the expensive side of things, but I think that they are definitely worth it. In fact, this place is the new gold standard for mexican food around here. While I've never been to Tu y Yo, it definitely beats Rudy's and Ole.

Despite the heat today, I did end up doing a little cooking. I whipped together some homemade granola bars, as well as some "premium" chocolate ice cream. I'm still waiting for the ice cream mixture to cool down, so I won't be enjoying that one until tomorrow. But the mixture already tastes just like melted chocolate ice cream!
