Thursday went out with the OT girlies. Had 3 whiskey sours! One at Cappy's and one at Mario's. Ate trace amounts of bacon on the pub fries at Mario's. Was not blown away by the reuben the sweet potato fries were on point. It is a nice place for happy hour. $2 wells! Next time I think I should try the Yinzerogies [happy hour price $5]. Afterwards Meghan drove us to Giant Eagle so I could procure more Kleenex [I'm just now getting totally over my sinus cold!]. From there she dropped me off at my doorstep! I was sleeping by 9pm! Not really the off the hook post anatomy exam event one might expect? [At least not for our table.] But lovely nonetheless!
Friday I went to Grad 200 shabbat event with Amy as part of my involvement with J'burgh. It was a nice enough event. After it was over we went and had a drink [whiskey sour] at fuel and fuddle. Amy and me have another friend date coming up this weekend!
Saturday I met Josh's Papa and Mama. They were cute and nice and it was good. We went to Alma Pan-Latin Kitchen. The plantains didn't excite me. The yuca fries were tasty, but the aji and cilantro/jalapeno sauces put it over the top. I really liked my dish [ Arepa de vegetales con plátanos maduros; Fresh beets, avocado, cabbage and cilantro on an unleavened Columbian corn pastry with sweet plantain]. Josh's Mama got Torrejitas de frijolitos; Pan-seared legume cakes served with collard greens and ripe plantains [she let me try it] the black bean cakes had lovely texture and the sauce was sinful. I would return here again! It is a real nice place for a date or if the parents are paying, but not Outrageously priced. After dinner we had coffees at Coffee Tree Roaster. I've actually never had a coffee there I stick to the chai chargers.
A bit about Whiskey Sours. So they are a new drink I have added to my my preferences just this weekend.
Mario was cheap, because it was happy hour $2, but not particualry strong.
Cappy's was $4.50 and a bit stronger than Mario's.
Alma's was tasty, not particularly strong, and expenssive $8.
Fuel and Fuddle's tasted strong and good! $4 Winner!
Yesterday... I made Mini Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes. They turned out too dense. And I actually frosted them with cream cheese frosting. It was a huge ordeal.
Today we have an "open house" at school... where the cupcakes will be served.
