Date Night

Whew! What a week! Glad it's finally the weekend. We had 5th graders all week and they were pretty sassy, but luckily my group on Friday was awesome so I ended on a high note. Always nice to begin a weekend on a high note. I have grand plans for the weekend to actually get some stuff done... I'll post an update later to see what actually goes down. Grand plans include: working on grad school application, finishing Halloween costume (see below for progress), carving a pumpkin, making jelly, laundry, tidying my room, part one of baking a cushaw pie, working on clay projects... But I'll be lucky if I get 1 or 2 of those things done, because I have serious plans to rock out with Stephanie Zanati later today!

Anyway, I was in working on some projects at the clay studio and Missy, my instructor, gave me a bunch of green tomatoes. I figured it was high time I tried some fried green tomatoes, what with how much I love the movie and all. So I fried some up. Here are the result. (We decided they were better with ranch.)



Working away, slowly but surely, on my Halloween costume. The sewing maching broke so it is much slower going than originally expected. Can you guess what the costume is? Did I say it in an earlier post? Who could say?

Yesterday after work Amanda and I got our fall on! We went to an orchard and picked up some apple cider, and then we went to a pumpkin patch! I hope I make time to carve it this weekend!

After we left ye olde pumpkin patch, we were trying to find a cupcakery so we could compare it with the other cupcakery in Milford, an accidentally made an illegal turn in front of a cop. The funny part was that we saw the no-turn sign and had just been talking about how we didn't know why you couldn't turn at the next street up... But, it was really for where we were turning. Ooooops. So of course the copper turned on his lights... but he was pretty nice about it, told me welcome to the neighborhood, and gave me the directions to the cupcakery. Haha. We did find the cupcakery, and went in, and they had just sold out of cupcakes 15 minutes earlier. Oh well. Maybe I'll find time to try it this weekend.

Date time! Amanda and I have been wanting to go to this Japanese restaurant, Ichiban, for quite sometime. http://www.ichibancinci.com/ It was wonderful! We got some fancy cocktails: Amanda had a pomegranate martini, and I had a cucumber mint martini. We went for the sushi, but also got some fried tofu and Amanda had some little duck skewers. :) Yum!

Aaaaaaaaanyway, I simply must get to work....... Have a good weekend!!
