Go on over to the Friendship of the Fabulous Foodies blog. I posted a new recipe today! Super easy, super yummy soup!
On Friday night, Mike and I drove to Denver to go to a Gong Bath. (You can learn about the Gong Bath by visiting my post about the first experience I had with it. Go here. It was even more positive this time!)
Before the Gong Bath, we went to a wonderful restaurant for dinner. It's called the House of Kabob and serves Lebanese food. Wow - it was truly phenomenal!! I've had this food once before in Fort Worth - actually, we'll have our reception dinner there after our wedding in November!
We shared two appetizers and one entree (and had leftovers!) The entree was beef shawarma, and honestly, it was some of the best food I've ever had!! Garlicky, spicy, so tender - YUMMY! I can't wait to go back again. I'm trying to invent reasons we need to go to Denver!
Monday brought a whole other dining adventure. I had my annual review lunch with my bosses for work! We went to a restaurant in Old Town Fort Collins that I had never been to, but had heard good things about. (I'm not going to name names in this story!)
My bosses each ordered the special which included salads. As our food arrived, and we started eating, my boss Debby started flicking her salad onto the table - in a distressed manner. She was pointing at something on the table and saying "What is that?" over and over. Laurel and I looked and my brain tried to make whatever it was a mushroom... but it most certainly was NOT a mushroom. It WAS a FROG!! A dead frog in Debby's salad. Oh man... that is perhaps one of the grossest things ever! Debby was pretty calm, but all of our appetites were killed instantly! The manager handled things very well - he saw the frog and started sweeping away all of our plates. No charge of course. I told him thanks for how he handled things, but boy, I don't think I'll be able to go back there - I will be grossed out every time! It was a memorable review lunch - and it had nothing to do with my actual review (which was good!)
Have you ever had any dining experiences like that?! I'm awfully glad (for my sake) that it wasn't MY salad! I think I would have created a much larger scene than Debby! (Like screaming or barfing!) Blech!
I am a new contributor at a wonderful, new blog!! My blog friends Jana and Suzie came up with this idea! The blog is Friendship of the Fabulous Foodies! Each of us is writing about our recipes and cooking experiences!
I just wrote my first post this morning. Go check it out!! My next post there will be about canning and making pickles! :)
I just had to share this with you all!
I just had a "chocolate experience"! I was out shopping for my Mug for the Create a Connection mug swap over my lunch hour today. I went to the most wonderful store in my town - The Cupboard. It really is just a fantastical store - with dishes, coffee, tea, kitchen utensils from heaven, you get the idea! And Chocolate!
Well, I couldn't JUST buy a mug - I had to have some chocolate. I bought myself one, tiny piece. It was the Organic Dark Spicy Aztec Chocolate Square made by Lake Champlain Chocolates. Oh. My. Goodness........ I would gladly give up every other chocolate if I could eat this every day!!
55% Cocoa Content with cayenne, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon. Absolute chocolate heaven. Dark chocolate, with spiciness! Perfect combo!! (It reminded me of Vianne's hot chocolate from the movie, Chocolat)
Run, do not walk to buy yourself this treat! (I think you can find it in Whole Foods stores too!) It is a treat worthy of an entire blog post dedicated to it! :)
