The Best Week(end) Ever!
Jul 6, 2009
I had such a fantastic weekend! This is a very link heavy post, only because I've collected little "mementos" of the weekend's festivities in my springpad. It's a great way to keep track of my favorite restaurants, recipes and the products I love! I think it's pretty fabulous that I actually use the product I promote for work. I've had a lot of fun adding things this week, so I hope you'll check out my profile :)
No work on Friday meant a day of grocery shopping and cooking. We typically do a big dinner every Friday night, complete with food, friends and lots of wine. Rach and I were responsible for the main course, so we made Macaroni and Cheese with Cauliflower and a really fantastic tomato and mushroom tart. (Click the link to get the recipes!) Both dishes were delicious, but I definitely recommend the second!
If you'll notice, I have no good food photos...this is because my pictures only turn out when it's sunny. The natural light in my house sucks. Therefore, I'm thinking of investing in a new and much better camera: The Nikon D5000. It's my dad's pick, but after doing some research, I think it's probably the best for me.
Saturday night I had a lovely BBQ with friends and then headed to watch the fireworks on the BU bridge. There was a bunch of alcohol consumed...I even ended up buying a bottle of champagne from Shaws! Needless to say, I was shocked when I accidentally opened the bottle. I was merely trying to loosen the cork and it exploded! I was not prepared for that. Fortunately, the bottle wasn't directed at anyone's face!
Sunday, we got brunch at Zaftigs, my new favorite place. Technically, it wasn't really brunch because we didn't get seated until after 1:30...and I had grilled cheese.
I also went on another Jdate, and this time, I'm happy to say he's the kind of boy I can tell my mom about (Hi Mom, I love you)! Not only did he arrive on time, he was early! He also only whipped out his phone to show me photos of his dog...who I sort of want to steal. At the end of the date, he walked me to the door, gave me a proper yet awkward goodnight kiss and said:
"I'm DEFINITELY going to pick up."
PS- This morning, when I went to find my Charlie card to pay my T fare, I came to a realization: I wasn't carded last night at the bar. This may not sound like a big deal, but this has NEVER happened to me before. Does that mean I'm a grown up? Not that I support underage drinking...but I look like I'm 15 and they didn't ask for ID ;)

I don't think that's a bad line you gave him!! It was equally as cheesy as the one he gave you, and I think it was perfect for the situation.
Your apartment shabbat/dinner parties sound so classy and fun. And I can't wait to hear more about DH ;)
Maybe the bartender had something in his eye...hahahha just kidding love you!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! We stood on one of the bridges along the river hoping for fireworks, but they started so late! We were out there forever.
So glad to hear the date went well. I LOVE your response :) And don't worry, my husband gave me a firm handshake at the end of our first date.
Off to click on the recipes!
Hi, Lani, love you, too. Score one for the good guys (gals)!
