bling bling

i promised my cousin amber i'd blog about good food that i consume. since i'm not eating out much these days (trying to save money for europe, and two other wedding adventures), i don't have much to report. BUT, i can tell you about an awesome three-course meal that conor made for me and my cousin sage (and her husband, doug) on friday night. it was awesomely wonderful, but i'm sorry i'm terrible when it comes to writing about food, because i don't do it justice.

course 1. belini's with truffle creme fraiche and caviar. champagne to drink.
course 2. mixed greens salad with meyer lemon vinegarette. white wine (can't remember what kind - sage & doug brought it, from their friend's vineyard)
course 3. pearl pasta with crab. lobster tail topped with vanilla milk foam, drizzled with aged balsamic. reisling to drink.

mmm.



sunday, sage and i went to sonoma for the bachelorette extravaganza of one of my childhood friends . the day started with a limo ride over the golden gate bridge and up north to wine country. we drank mimosas and chatted it up until we arrived at wine tasting numero uno. the day progressed with tastings at about 6 or 7 different wineries, lunch at the cheese shop in downtown sonoma, and limo-dance-party during the ride home, after we all gave her naughty gifts, of course.

one of the funniest things during the day, however, was when we bought $0.85 bling (big fake-diamond rings) for all of us to wear - some poor soul on the street thought that one girl's was ring real. ha!

and the pat's won their game yesterday, which was a sweet victory to add to an already sweet day.

Hey roomie. Where the hell are the updates? It's already Thursday and you haven't written a damn thing. I wish you would write more. And I wish you would pick up after yourself around the apartment. Coffee grounds go IN the garbage can. Not on top of it. Hope all is well. -- Cat-Foo

I'm glad to see you are updating your blog again instead of working at our fabulous company! By the way, I never, ever do things like pretend to be your roommate. No reason why I'm mentioning this, of course.

I would never tell anyone this, but deep down, I have a secret, burning desire to be your roommate, not only because I wish I could spend ALL my time with you, but also because your roommate is sooooooooooooooo cool!
