Thursday night we went out to Surin’s with K. and N. The sushi was awesome, but the atmosphere in there just sucks. With its three huge rooms full of patrons, it feels more like a Thai cafeteria than a cool restaurant. We had a great time, though – and boy that Halloween party is going to rock!
Friday night we met up with L. and A. at Bettola’s for a fantastic meal. We had the whole shebang – apps, pizza/pasta, dessert. I was really impressed by the simplicity – and tastiness – of each dish we tried. They have pizza ‘in the Neopolitan style’ – I’m not really sure what that means, except that it isn’t slathered in cheese and you can really taste the ingredients. I wasn’t that impressed with the pasta that L. got – but the pizza and the tiramisu were amazing.
Maybe L. and I will go biking on the recently completed Chief Ladiga rails to trails.
Saturday for lunch we went out to the Taste of Thailand in Hoover, located in the same strip mall as the Silver Coin Indian place that is deliciously spicy. The decor was … strip mall at its finest, the sushi was just ok, but the spicy basil shrimp was out of this world. Holy cow.
I’m going on a no-eating-out kick for six weeks. Time to create some deliciousness of my own. Enough is enough.
I also bought my plane ticket to go home at Christmas-time (for my parents 40th wedding anniversary on Dec 23rd). It cost just as much to fly home as it would for me to fly to Costa Rica. Egads.
