this weekend was a pretty typical winter weekend for j&m.
friday was spent having celebratory vodka and tonics (we were celebrating we made it thru the work week. or wait, maybe just I was celebrating?), then we headed over to check out a new (to us) restaurant, Highland Kitchen. things to note: definitely have the garlic mashed potatos. it was sort of southern cooking, with a hipster edge. also to note: wearing my huge gray balls around my neck attracts many unsolicited compliments.
saturday was rung in by a homemade breakfast of nutella smothered pancakes and fresh vermont maple syrup (from our trip to VT on valentine's weekend). YUM.
m. helped me organize things at my studio, since i'll be moving out in a couple months and am kind of freaked out at the masses of STUFF i have acquired over the years. we had a pretty great lunch at Not Your Average Joe's over in Metheun and spent some quality time in the Loop's strip mall (my favorite Gap store, Target, Home Depot). it was a great, semi-lazy day.
for dinner, i made a yummy risotto with shrimp, asparagrass and shiitake mushrooms.
we watched a crazy movie, "city of ember", starring mr. bill murray. and crashed relatively early.
sunday was another homemade brekkie, this time a "clean the fridge out" scramble of shiitakes and spinach, and roasted red potatoes with onion, garlic and cilantro. it was yummy. mo had a side of crusty bread- the heel. we finally used the Taza drinking chocolat, melted in the bottom of our Spanish rocket fuel.
