Sep. 20th, 2007 01:29 pmI can't believe I haven't posted for a week. Something exciting must have happened in the last 7 days.
1. Fri we went to Applebees and it was gross (big surprise) so we were a bit unsatisfied, which explains how we ended up at Cru that night. Mmmmm. We took the baby to my mom's and headed over to Big John's for some quality friend time, saw some people, drank two beers and lured
hkbear and hbf over to Cru. By the time dinner was over we had to get the baby, but it was worth it. Good conversation (we were that table--the rowdy one) and great food. It was a little weird that out of the three things I wanted, they were out or had to make weird changes to each dish. I had escargot with toast instead of puff pastry (how are you out of puff pastry?), a baby greens salad with goat cheese and toasts (supposed to be fried, but wasn't and the toasts were soggy--very disappointing) and a calamari salad with vinegar slaw (OMG!).
2. Saturday was the Scottish Games. We picked up my mom and met hkbear and hbf there. It was a bit hot and muggy to be walking around outside for hours, eating very heavy food. But we perservered. There was much consumption of meat pies, bridies (the best they've been), haggis rolls, sausage rolls and scotch eggs. Plus beer and Irn Bru. Finally, stuffed, we watched the dancing for a bit and went home. A went shrimping and I hung out with my mom for a bit.
3. On Sunday we felt like brunch so we tried to go to Mimi's but it was packed before it even opened. California Dreaming had tables so we went over there for seafood nachos, prime rib and the kick-ass house salad. Then we went home and lay around on the couch.
4. I don't remember much about Mon--I cleaned and worked and the baby started to get sick.
5. Tuesday was more of the same. Cleaning, working, and dealing with a sick offspring.
6. Wednesday the baby was still sick so no WeeJumpnastics but I did get to have dinner with hkbear and J. LaHa was excellent as always--I had a shrimp quesadilla--and hanging out with my bit-cas is always a treat. The I got to go pick up my drunk-ass husband from the bar where he was with his dad and his dad's gf. They were all trashed. Great.
