Update and The "list"...

Update on Job #2...

He got another offer today! They were aware of all of the specifics of his last offer, so they were able to offer even more! Decisions, Decisions - I don't know how he will decide! But I can imagine it's pretty nice to have people competing over you ;o) Congrats again to my smartie of a hubby! Of all the deserving people, he's the most deserving - he never thinks he's smart enough to get the jobs...but he always does! Such a humble guy. Since he doesn't brag for himself, I'll do the bragging for him ;o)

We're going out to celebrate all of his offers tonight at a great restaurant we love called "The Rossi." They have this amazing chicken dish where they put wild mushrooms right below the skin and roast it. It comes with fingerling potatoes, multi-colored green beans, and two different coulis. And they make the BEST Yukon Gold French Fries with a lemon-garlic aioli. I'm getting hungry already ;o)

So...we've made a mental list of places we're planning to eat at before we leave. Because, with us, food is life! (Of course, it comes second to music or a good concert ;o)
We knocked two off this past weekend - we went to our favorite "Der Dutchman" - they have the best mac and cheese and chicken noodles and any other "Amish" food you can think of.
Then, Saturday night we went to a fancy new restaurant in town called "Rosendales." It's THE place to be, from what I've read. BUT, we found the food to be uber-pretentious, the environment loud and cold (literally), and the wait staff a bit snooty. I had a short-rib appetizer (which was mediocre) and a very good pear and endive salad. Kurt had some mix of seafood, which he said was good, but not worth the price.

HA - we ended up getting stuck next to some overly chatty and VERY loud, slightly tipsy women. Not a pleasant experience, considering we heard everything about her wedding (which happened too many years ago for anyone to care) and how her husband loves hotels. THEN, her husband came. Let's just say they were two of a kind and leave it at that.

But, we've got a few more places to scratch off the list before we leave - we better get going. Only 16 more days until we move!

We're going to Hyde Park next Tuesday for our 3rd anniversary, so that's another one off of the list.

OK...I'm sure absolutely no one cares about my rantings or food list...so I'm going to sign off.
