Yummy!

Howdy,
This weekend was not lacking fun, food, or festivites.

Friday night we went to support our friend Shawna Lynn at the Wild Idol. She did a great performance; we even snuck in a few dances.

Saturday we took our friends Monica and Peanut out for dinner for their birthdays. We started the evening with nothing more than wine tasting at J Lohr. There was a very quaint tasting room which gave 6 FREE tastings. It was a great way to warm up for the yummiest dinner at Maggiano's. The Italian food here is out of this world; the portions are gigantic; and the atmosphere is fabulous. We enjoyed our 3 hour dinner which comprised of: calamari, fried zucchini, stuffed mushrooms, chopped salad, ceasar salad, garlic shrimp linguini, beef medalions, chicken saltimboca, and rigattoni with mushrooms and chicken. Dessert was: tiramasui and pound cake. It was super delicious!!! We all rolled out of the restaurant and immediately felt like taking a nap. This is going to be our annual location for December birthdays!

Sunday I went with my friend Meghan to an antique fair in Alameda. I couldn't believe how many old things were for sale! People were buying things left and right. Never know what you're going to find there! While I was shopping, Greg was making home-made truffles (500) with my dad. They are super yummy and will definitely contribute to a side pouch on my waistline.

I had a fantastic weekend and am ready to hit this coming weekend hard! Lots in store. Will write more later.
