weekend wrap up

It was a yummy, toasty weekend; the Grillfest turned out fabulous. Mark and I tried out a new recipe from my Fine Cooking magazine and made Moroccan-style Grilled Chicken Kebabs for everyone. It was met with approval and descriptions such as "very lemony" and "mmm, so good", which I take as good signs. The evening included buffalo wings, courtesy of Amy, caesar salad (me), and lots of beer and other good stuff. (I think we still have lots of beer left over.)

There was cake, singing, gossip, and fantasy scenarios of Celebrity Chef Smackdowns. All in all, a really nice time.

Sunday we went and saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which was awesome. It has a really stupid plot, but the chemistry between the two beautiful people more than make up for it. Plus, a girl just really needs to see things blow up sometimes. The house fight was awesome.

I think I will have something more substantial to say tomorrow. Right now I'm tired!

Article on Chez Panisse - sounds more affordable than French Laundry, but is it really worth it?

Roald Dahl museum opens.

Zine libraries! There was one in UCLA?!! Grr...I think it's stupid that you have to make an appointment to go.

hmm...i've been craving a good filipino place - well, i haven't tried any yet, but they have to exist, right? also, i discovered that i really loved tapas last year, but the only place i know of that serves it is in berkeley. it reminds me of eating dim sum.
