so on saturday, when mom was about halfway to minneapolis, i found out that my meet was canceled. so we just hung out for the day! we went to lunch at panera, it was pretty tasty. then we went on a hunt for the midtown global market--and got totally lost (as we always seem to do haha) on the way. we thought it was more of a big indoor market with ethnic groceries/ingredients, and there was some but not too much different from what you might find in your grocery store. it was mostly small food vendors selling prepared food--mostly people from latin america trying to get started in america. so it was interesting, but kinda disappointing because it wasn't what thought it was. once we got home i beat mom in 4 games of war (i'm just a natural at it, i guess :p), then mom, david, and i went to kahn's for dinner. it's a mongolian barbecue place where you choose your meat and veggies and sauce and then they stir-fry it for you on a big grill top (kind of like hibachi)..oh and they put peanuts in the mix for you if you want. it was pretty awesome. before you even began with the stir fry, they bring each person a plate of appetizers out, including hot and our soup, cabbage and ginger something or other, a plain fried wonton, and a chicken wing..and accompanying sauces. they also serve baozi (unlimited haha!)...steamed chinese buns with a sweet inside. they were SO good..kind of doughy and fabulous. i want to try to make them.
sunday morning we went to good earth restaurant for ten grain pancakes, which are amazing. then i worked on building a luminaire all day with a friend (a stupid project for lighting. um, we're designers..not engineers?). david and i went to romano's macaroni grill for dinner, where i had the spinach feta pesto pizza. that helped numb my frustration from that stupid light project. david had the chicken cannelloni, just so he'd have a greater appreciation for how good mine is haha.
moral of the story, food makes me verry happy haha.
what's cookin tonight: sloppy joes and mac & cheese. oh, to be a kid again! :p

add some white wine to your mac n cheese - that'll make it more adult. ;)
tonight we are having slow cooker lemon chicken with sherry, and tomorrow we're making red beans and rice with david's uncle's polish sausage and the ham bone from last week's smoked ham.
i wish i were independently wealthy and could just cook instead of work.
