Food & books

What a liberating feeling to have a break without pressing projects or frequent visits to the school. Not that the grading is done or I don't have things to decorate and organize, but it can wait. I actually had time to just...rest (kind of what a real "break" should be like, huh?). If I could put two words to characterize our spring break it would have to be food and books. For a couple hours each morning, Dave and I would just stay snuggled up on the couch with our noses in a book (or books...I'm an A.D.D reader). When we weren't reading or taking random trips, we were most likely at a new restaurant of some sort with friends. We had the most delicious food this week...what a luxury! Little did we realize that both of the best meals were Japanese, but hey...they were both so good.

Here we are with Andy and Diana at a nice Japanese restaurant in town. This food was to die for! Mouth watering steak, shrimp, seasoned chicken, mushrooms with beef.....yuuuummm!

And look! I thought that we were supposed to sit "Indian-style", but our feet hide under the floor....how cool!

And then hibachi....with all the newly married couples. There are more of us, we are just stretched out all around this humongous table.

Steak, chicken, vegetables, fried rice...couldn't get better.

Dave and I headed out to a popular fast food place this morning. They sell a breakfast food called "Youtiaos" (basically funnel cake without the powdered sugar). Soooo goood!

But this is what I'd rather do instead....he started it.

This afternoon I headed out shopping with some ladies....we had to make a tasty pit stop first of course. Fruit smoothies!

Strawberry, blueberry & mango....yum
