Dinner at Capital City Gastropub
For some reason the name “gastropub” just creeps me out. But a few of my fellow bloggers and good friends and I decided to have dinner last night at the new Gastropub on New Scotland Avenue, anyway despite the name. 😉 Melissa, myself, Emily and Alicia and I met and were excited to try the new place. They had a lot of small plates on the menu so we decided to split two of the vegetarian dishes, the roasted onion and the Ratatouille. Here is the ratatouille, I think my camera ate the photo of roasted onion. I was impressed with neither of them. 🙁 The ratatouille was…

The Jimbo
Surprise! A Friday Post!! I didn’t think I’d have enough time/anything interesting to write about today but I do! Lets start with last night. I spent the evening gallivanting around Lark Street after work. I was supposed to meet up with a bunch of friends for my friend’s 25th birthday celebration at 9pm, but I was super super hungry after work. At around 8 I met my sister for some pre-celebratory dinner at Bombers. We ordered downstairs since there is usually a wait upstairs. (Photo from google images.) I took a photo exactly like this back in the day! Lets discuss Bombers for a minute. I have a love/hate relationship…

Adventures in the Kitchen
Happy Memorial Day!!! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! My friend Melissa and I were in need of some gelato last night so we took a trip to Crisan. I got one scoop of oreo gelato and one mini chocolate covered strawberry. Yum. I had a very low key day today. I started out with about 20 minutes of yoga. And since it was so nice out, I had really wanted to go for a nice bike ride, but my bike was locked in the shed and I didn’t have the key, so I could not go. 🙁 I opted for a short 2 mile run instead. It was…

The Big Two-Five
Well, I am now 25 years old. I decided to celebrate this monumental event by throwing myself a birthday party! Why not? I’ve never had a birthday party for myself, as an adult, so I figured it would be super fun. And it was! I made some tasty treats for everyone… sugar cookie stars! guiltless white bean guacamole the whole spread And my cousin Liz, who hosted the party, even ordered a cake from Crisan Bakery on Lark Street, and it was gorgeous (and delicious). It was chocolate mousse with a hint of coffee. I can’t remember the official name of the cake. And boy was it good!!! Crisan never…
