.scallops with risotto.


John and I had our "date night" - a term that he hates hearing and/or ever using.  But of course, I still use it just to annoy him. Haha  Well, we went out to eat at one of the local food chain restaurants (Houlihans).  John of course, got his signature Stuffed Chicken Breast.  And I tried something different.  I had their Scallops with Asparagus Risotto.  It was absolutely delicious!  The scallops were cooked perfectly.  Other times that I have had scallops, they were either too tough or too soft and slimy.  But this one was perfect.  The asparagus risotto went well with the dish!  I rarely give reviews on meals, but this time, I just had to share a good thing!

.sandals with socks.

I am far from being a fashionista, but Socks with Sandals is definitely a fashion faux pas (well at least I thought it was). But weirdly enough I see it everywhere from runways, magazines, tv, and everyday life. So maybe it isn't a faux pas after all. I guess Fashion is what you make of it.  So for all the Sock and Sandal wearers -- More power to you!

.new obsession.


My friend introduced a new site to me: www.pinterest.com
It is basically having a page with Boards where you can "pin" up images of things you like. At first it was overwhelming and I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to post. But I got the hang of it, and now I am obsessed. One of my new favorite obsessions.

Check out my pins!
