+ Finally got a chance to blog. It has been super cold here. Don’t want to go anywhere or do anything outside. Especially with Max because I don’t like the thought of him being cold. Looks like this weekend will be in the 20s. Yessss…+ Tried some new restaurants:

• Town Talk Diner: I liked this place. They gave us free food just because my pancakes were taking a little long. Some yummy seared scallops, and a cheese & cracker appetizer platter. Our waiter was really nice too. Only thing I didn’t really like was that it was kind of loud.
• Ngon Bistro: This place is really cute & the food was actually decent. The decor was nice–creamy yellow walls, beautiful lighting, and local artwork hanging throughout the dining area. I had the ribeye & meatball pho, and Mike had the fish special. He didn’t care much for his dish, but I liked mine. I especially liked the homemade beef meatballs. They were so tender & flavorful compared to the frozen meatball that every other place uses. I would definitely go back.
• Obento-Ya: (pictured above) I really wanted to like this place, but the food just wasn’t all that. I had the shrimp tempura bento box, and Mike had the beef. We shared a spider roll. The spider roll was bland and didn’t have much else to it. My food was just, eh… The hubby only got 2 pieces of good meat, so he was disappointed with that. The decor is modern & nice, and service was good, but food is nothing to write home about.

+ Max has been so picky with his food lately. Won’t even eat his eggs. I hid some pureed cauliflower in his eggs one time, but he wouldn’t touch them. You could hardly tell there was cauliflower in it. Man, I am just running out of ideas. Help…

+ Today is our 13 year anniversary. Happy Anniversary Honey!
