We're just your normal, laid back, kinda folks =) Not to mention, we're cute. |
What an eventful weekend we had!
Saturday we went out for sushi with a few people from work (like 20!). We went out to a place down the road from us, Wild Ginger. Andy and I had been there 2 times before and have always loved the sushi. It probably ranks as our number one sushi place. Everybody else that came, it was their first time. With a big group of people, you're bound to have some disappointment. Service was a little slow, and a couple drinks were incorrect, and some people didn't quite like their food. I felt kind of bad, because I was the one that recommended the place, but hey, you can't please everyone ALL the time. We liked our food, and we're kind of "slow-paced" folks anyway, so we didn't quite mind the wait, but I understand not everyone is like Andy and I so I can see both sides here. But oh well, we all had fun, despite the food debacle!

Oh, and I forgot to mention. Friday, Andy's friend that works for a food distributor in town hooked us up with 13.5 lbs. of fresh Atlantic salmon... for $80! What a bargain, eh? We've got salmon for days now! So definitely don't be surprised if you see a lot more salmon recipes in the near future!
And Saturday, I ran into a slight problem with my car. The map lights (you know, those lights on the inside of the car by the rear view mirror that let you look at... well... maps.) They wouldn't turn off. I pressed them, they didn't turn off. I turned my car on and off multiple times, they didn't turn off. I even went as far as banging and screaming at them... still didn't turn off. My car automatically shuts them off after 15 minutes of the engine being turned off, but that doesn't help me when I'm driving early in the morning and those lights are glaring right in my face (not to mention how stupid I look with those lights on in my car the whole time I'm driving.) So anyway, I finally had time to take my car down to the Ford dealership this morning, and the lady just went into my car, fiddled around for a minute or two and was like "all fixed." My mouth just dropped. Seriously... I felt stupid. She told me what she did, but honestly, I didn't pay too much attention (I know, I'm horrible). All I know is that the lights are off and my stress level is now at a reasonable level! Hehe.
Wow... guess I was a mouthful today. I've got the day off work, but have to head to class around 4, so I better get a little studying done (I'm actually ahead!!). Have a great Tuesday guys!

ReplyDeleteI always do things like that with my car---I really don't want to be bothered with figuring things out, I just want it to work!
Now I want sushi for dinner...not only does it look amazing, but that wasabi would certainly clear my sinuses. I'm sorry about the car stress (I can completely relate!) But I hope that the rest of your week runs smoothly. Hugs, sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteMmm now you have me craving sushi!! Oh and definitely jealous about the salmon hookup!
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed a very cute couple, lovely pic.. Have a wonderful day :)
ReplyDeleteI love sushi. I used to make it quite often but the shop that sold the ingredients has vanished :( Salmon is one of our favourites, especially wild salmon. It is so much nicer then the farmed salmon. Diane
ReplyDeleteyou two are cute! I had sushi last night-did not look that good though! I'm pretty boring and only eat veggie sushi!
ReplyDeleteahhh this looks sooo sooo yummy! My sushi making skills must be lacking b/c I totally don't make fancy schmantsy rolls like this! I totally want to though! yum!
