Weekend Recap

This Saturday rather than live up to my reckless 'oh she's young' reputation I decided to change it up and enjoy some female bonding with my bestie and do things slow. We started our Saturday night with dinner at a new restaurant I had heard about. We went to Lolo's on 10th, its a small health conscious place, they had extremely amazing hummus, and the menu contains a brief description of what kind of vitamins are in the food and how many calories are consumed. We enjoyed out soups with a glass of wine and chit chatted until we felt like maybe we should continue our night elsewhere. We ended up leaving the restaurant but were still in the lets drink wine mode but we were reluctant to go to a crowded noisy bar or club. Driving down 10th street we passed by Sahadi's and were urged to stop by. The mood at Sahadi's was exactly what we wanted. The lights were dim, the restaurant smelled good, and they had a live band. The band was a 5 member family band that played Spanish songs. The youngest member of the band was only 15, and he played the bongos like nobodies business. We were impressed by the talent of this band, the father of the band played 5 different instruments including the violin and the saxophone and had a voice that could rock a baby to sleep. We ended up drinking our wines with a cheese ball plate and an escargot appetizer. Escargot was a first for both of us and to my surprise it did not look or taste like what I expected. After a couple of glasses of wine and as the restaurant was closing down, we left but were not ready to end the night. We stopped by our favorite coffee shop Ambrosia, to grab our self some fresh coffee and make fun of the people that surrounded us. It was a pretty great night, I had excellent wine, excellent food, excellent company, and excellent coffee...ahhh I fell so grown up.
