5 more days...

Hmm I'm not familiar...

I'm far from being a fan of SNL anymore, but this is great...

Weekend Update

The verdict for Friday was Sonobana. This is has to be one of my top favorite in terms of sushi bars. Its traditionally decorated like any other sushi place, but the fish seem to always be fresh. I haven't had a bad experience yet, plus its reasonably priced. I still can't believe XTC and I finished off the boat... oye.

Believe it not, after all these years living down the street from Yale, I've never been to the Repertory Theatre. I attended a showing of In Continuum. It was well done, considering it was a two person show. The way they ended it was very moving.

And of course there was Super Bowling Sunday! $1 games, rentals and fooooood... you can't go wrong with that! It was pretty fun, and all my favorite people were there. Some people are so hardcore about this game... bringing their own balls and shoes... maybe I should invest in it... but if I do, I want mine to be like Dan's and have it smell like strawberries! :) As cheezy as I am, my favorite super bowl commercial had to be Kevin Federline's. I know... cheeeezy!

Next EDD: 02. 13.07: Soul de Cuba! -i heart their mojitos!-

Tapas Time!

This past weekend I was finally able to try Barcelona on Temple St. The place did not disappoint. As XTC and I entered the signless building, we were greeted by a warm and lively ambiance. Along the descending stairs were tea lights to help guide you down. As we sat looking at the menu, I knew that there was one thing that I had to try while there... the sangria. It was one of the better ones I've had... but Chow's sangria is still my tops. The tapas that were had were yummy, but nothing that really impressed us... (are we food snobs?). We had the chicken, steak, calamari, a pumpkin and pomegranate salad, a hummus dip and sheep cheese. XTC and I came to a conclusion: tapas dish is much like the Chinese Dim Sum. Small eats that are very shareable. It makes dinning with friends more intimate where as you can sample each others food instead of just having your own plate. All in all the food was satisfying, but the atmosphere (and the company) was great... definitely return again... perhaps for mom's birthday?

Next on the food agenda:
-edd (estimated date of dinning): 02.02.07 @ Sono Bana, Hot Tomatoe's or C.O. Jones... what will it be?!

post script- Thank you XTC for all of your help on the kitchen the other weekend... it looks peachy!
