Winner and SGT Dinner

So I took some time off. 

Fine, I'm lying.   I didn't take ANY time off. 

 

I've been plenty busy with food and photography, but none of which really inspired me to sit down and blog about it. Granted, I easially could have written about dinner at Everest on Grand with Rae and Eric, but I didn't take any pictures and honestly I wasn't inspired to (until I got our delicious food.  Holy shit. I love Indian food).  You can read about our dining experience at Sen Yai Sen Lek over on Erin and Ben' blog.  I had TWO client meetings on Sunday (following up the advertorial posted on Off Beat Bride last week, I've been spending a lot of time responding to inquiries) and generally ate out a ton the past few days. Since this is so unlike me I will recap for you.  Monday Lunch: Buon Giorno. Dinner: Red Stag  Tuesday Lunch: 3 Squares, Dinner: Brasa  Wednesday Breakfast: Bryant Lake Bowl, Dinner: Northeast Social Thursday Dinner: Sushi at Seven.

 

What am I,  some kind of socilite? 

 

The worst part is, I have no inclination to cook this week.

 

At all.

 

I'm not sure I can even muster up the desire to fry myself an egg this morning.  Anyway to provide at least ONE piece of original content this week (so I don't feel like a complete failure) here is a picture at the Simple Good and Tasty Dinner at Brasa, St Paul. 

Meeting Alex Roberts was probably the highlight of my dining week.  He was very kind and friendly, his food is delicious, his mindset so focused on good quality and local ingredients... and he's damn cute too (have I started liking guys with beards? Damn you bearded husband.  You're changing my ideals!).

 

Oh and the winner: Emily Tritabaugh was the lucky number 17 to be selected by Random.org!  You have an email from me in your inbox about collecting the goods.  Way to comment!  I love the concept behind her blog too.  Mottainai is a Japanese term that refers to when something valuable, such as food, is wasted. Her blog and lifestyle are dedicated to make Mottainai a little less frequent in the world... and we should probably be friends.

Dang, girl, that's a lot of eating out! But, we all have those weeks that spin you around and spit you out. Glad you survived.

Yes, I agree, Alex Roberts is seriously kind of cute (and I don't normallly dig facial hair). And, he's super kind as well!

Wow! You live the high life. That's a lot of tasty food. Someday when Alex is a fancy professor we will dine out like you. :-) But, you must come back to Brooklyn someday to try all the new fun places I am managing to discover... and we dined at Frankies! (The place your friend told us about that is now within walking distance)

To be fair, Nicki, the only meals I paid for were The Red Stag and Northeast Social. Both of which were reasonably affordable, seeing as my husband is in Grad School too, and won't be a fancy professor when he's done. Glad you got to check out Frankie's though!

Then you ARE living the high life! Getting all the meals paid for, that is the way to go! :-)

Alex Roberts is hot and that he is a damn good chef just makes him hotter!

I took 1 st mortgage loans when I was 32 and this supported me a lot. Nevertheless, I require the commercial loan once again.
