Random Nights

Last night was sort of random and sort of not. I went to a fabulous cooking class with my friend Tanya (who passed her motorcycle's license test earlier in the day YAY). It was a fancy schmancy cooking class and we had a blast! The chef, a lovely woman named Andrea made us the most delicious martini's ever, to sip while she demonstrated some of the dishes that we were going to make. OMG. So good. She is like me, she insists on having a martini in her kitchen while she cooks. She might not drink it all (neither do I) but the presence of it brings happiness in a weird way. I totally get it. I have a gin martini every time I cook. Sometimes I drink it, sometimes I just look at it and occasionally sip it. This is my kind of chef.

Anyway, we watched and learned and then broke off into groups to cook. What an amazing time!!!!! Tanya and I were in charge of the Cinnamon Duck Breast on Raisin Crostini's. Once again: OMG. We F'N rocked it!!!!! Ours were the most elegant looking, just like Andrea's, and they ended up being the favorite at the end of the night. That's right, toot toot of my own horn. I also learned how to properly cook a duck breast. And how to properly boil a lobster. Cut a pear without cutting yourself. Oh ya, I also had the best dicing skills in the class. I was shocked to see that most people can't dice effectively. I rocked the onion. I'm now getting off track....

So after we were all done cooking, everyone put out their trays of delicious food and they poured us wine and we ate and ate and ate. When I got home, Rob was there and asked if I wanted to go for dinner. I was full, but I also wanted to spend time with him. So we took pups for a quick walk around the block then off we went a walking. He wanted to try a new Indian place a few blocks from the loft on Broadway. I had no idea which place he was talking about but off we walked. About six blocks away he realized that he didn't know what he was talking about either. So I suggested the Banana Leaf as it was a block away. Got there....under reno's. So then we decided to hop on the bus and randomly go to Joey's at Granville. Now it's about 10:00pm and I'm tired as I was up at the crack of dawn and busy all day, but how can you pass a chance to hang out with your boyfriend on a crazy adventure!!!!

When we got on the bus, Rob paid my fare. Oh ya, a puuuurrreeee gentleman. Not all guys will pay a gal's bus fare. We got to Joey's, he had the usual, I gulped down their soup and we took the bus home. We chatted the whole time. Laughed. It was awesome. It was random and awesome. :)
