FOODIES

If you know what happened to us this weekend, while celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary, then you’ll find this title completely amusing. I actually have to give our friend Jay credit for this one. He and Becca called us on Sunday morning, while they were having brunch at Friendly’s.

He was like, “You know that you didn’t have to act out to get attention. If you wanted us to come home, all you had to do was say the word.” I told him that we really enjoyed our dinner because the food and service were great. That’s when he made the “to die for” comment. LOL.

We started with their hummus and pita.

I indulged by having a Georgia peach. It was delicious!

So delicious that I had two of them!

Brian had a couple of bottles of Sam Adams Boston Lager. This is our server Ben, who was great, but couldn’t poor beer properly to save his life. LOL.

The bread was good, but it looks like chicken from far away.

Brian had the four cheese pizza, which he only ate half of… Our server Ben boxed up the rest, but Brian left it at the restaurant because of all the excitement that happened. It was the last thing on his mind.

Cheers!

The infamous penne carbonara, served European style with the egg yolk in the middle. It was so delicious, I ate almost all of it. My body totally freaked out. I experienced vasovagal response — had a seizure and passed out, not once, but twice. After the second time, I ended up on the floor of the patio at YaYa’s.

Brian didn’t finish his pizza, but I ate almost all of my food.

We had a tough decision about what to get for dessert. Everything looked yummy!

We settled on the creme brulee trio, which Brian thoroughly enjoyed. I think it was the combination of everything — hummus and pita, bread, penne, dessert, and two Georgia peaches — that did me in. I want a do over!

Brian and I went to Walt’s Sports Bar & Grill on Friday night after the first day of the TD Ameritrade investing seminar at Century II. I mostly took him there for the sake of nostalgia. It’s the place where we met for the first time over twelve years ago. The place is a lot smaller than I remembered. Then again, when you’re young, everything seems bigger.

Brian and I were both trying to be good so we each only had one drink and shared a chicken strip dinner. He had a Sam Adams Boston Lager because it is the one beer that doesn’t cause a negative reaction from his body. I had a sex on the beach, which was my drink of choice back then.

I really like Walt’s. Besides the nostalgia factor, the food and drinks are reasonably priced and their restrooms are clean. It’s one of my favorite bars in town. It’s no Louie’s, but it’s definitely up there on my list.
