I'm glad this little gem won for BEST PICTURE. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?!

I was tempted to rip the STAR WARS ones off the wall for Nathan but I don't think it would have gone well with the owners. Interesting place, great concept, overpriced.

Went to Pearl tonight. Just wasn't in the mood to cook and wanted a real meal.

The salad was a bit heavy handed in the balsamic dressing but good. I think I had enough of Salumi items. They're really not that good, IMHO.

Scallops were cooked perfectly but the risotto cake was missing.

The free-range chicken was good but also a bit over salted. You know how you eat potato chips and your lips pucker up because of all the salt?

We mentioned that it was a bit salty to the waiter when we were ready for the bill and he asked us how everything was and Neil mentioned the salt issue and the waiter graciously offered to comp a dessert.

Overall, great service, great atmosphere, and good dishes.

GOOMBA GRINDER

A year or so ago, we tried Salumi and the guy we sat next to told us about heading north on Aurora to eat at Grinders. He said it was his second favorite grinder style sandwich after Salumi.

Since we were up north anyway, we decided to give it a try. A salad and sub was a little more than $20. OUCH.

OK, the salad and sub was split between 2 and no drinks except water. Sure it was delicious and fresh but I'm realizing that I'm become a very frugal person.

Look up a chimichurri recipe and make it. It's sooooo good on steak and anything else you want to put it on!

Blue

Nice to see Blue every now and then...

Can't sleep...watch some movies.

I think Simon Pegg is under rated. I loved Shaun of the Dead, Run Fat Boy Run, and this was fun.

Fast movie. Kinda like Red Eye, there's no superfluous scene. Edited to go go go.

Cute

I was waiting for Neil and found this place near Swedish. It looked cool but the cupcake was in a fridge cooler. Yuck. Ever had cold cupcake? Nasty.

I've made this years ago w/ pineapple juice but since I didn't have any, I substituted fresh squeezed blood orange juice. Turned out rather nicely.

the onions and rice were so sweet. I didn't add any sugar. the caramelization of the onions made it very sweet.

made this tonight. Turned out rather nice. Instead of using a lot of pasta, I roasted some blue potatoes and mixed it for color and starch option.

Watched this online. It's a pretty good semi-biographical story. Check it out.

Yeah...finally something I made was delicious.

Ha!

Seriously, How did I go around wearing a pink shirt with that picture on it?! I blame my mom for how I turned out. We need to have an updated version of this pic the next time the family gets together :)
