Since it's already May 6th...
I figure it's time for a post. I haven't been all that busy lately, although Peter and I have been out and about a fair amount lately. Thursday, May 1st, we went out to dinner with my parents for my Mom's Birthday. We ate at the Italian restaurant/pizza joint in the Concord Mall. It was an interesting experience to say the least because they was a performance of the opera "Madame Butterfly" going on while we ate. Definitely not my thing, or Peter's, or Dad's either, but Mom seemed to enjoy it and since it was her birthday, that's what mattered!
Friday, I surprised Peter with an evening out after he worked the college's graduation festivities. He always looks so handsome dressed up for the ceremony, so I like to drag him out afterwards. We went to P.F. Chang's for dinner and watched a late night showing of Iron Man. I love P.F. Chang's. I love Chinese food in general, but have found as I have gotten older that I really can't stand take out Chinese food. But this restaurant is as far from take out as you can get, yet has positively yummy leftovers.
Saturday, we were completely lazy all day. I celebrated National Scrapbooking day by hitting many digi sales online, and Peter played his new game, Grand Theft Auto 4. Sunday, I drove down to Dover and went to the Dover Days House and Garden tour. We actually ended up visiting only one home, which is still the home of a childhood friend of mine, and we got to reconnect which was really cool. In fact, I'm sending her an e-mail after I write this. Turns out she lives in Dover and works up in Wilmington by us. Delaware really is small!
Yesterday, for Cinco de Mayo, we headed out to Don Pablos for dinner. The food was ok, but it was way too loud and packed with people only interested in drinking way too many Coronas. I guess I'm getting too old to enjoy that sort of thing. Wow - two references to age in this post and I'm only 26! What's wrong with me? Haha.
We've been doing a lot of eating out lately and while I do enjoy it, I'm definitely ready to stay home and cook this week. I found some great recipes off the Kraft Foods website and am following one of their Healthy Living Bags this week. Tonight's dinner will be Spaghetti with Zesty Bolognese sauce. I'm serving it up with some Joe Corbi Cheezee Bread. I'll post a pic of my results tomorrow.
