happy birthday eebs.

LURE - normally a week before attending a wedding...i'll always try to watch my intake for the week.  and so after a session at the gym cut short without cardio because of dinner reservations, i didn't plan to gorge like i did.  but u know what?  it was worth it.  cuz it was good.  lure is good seafood.  we started with oysters.  good selection.  i prefer the smaller ones.  sweeter less briny.  dont need a meaty oyster.  way too fishy.  shrimp cocktail was fresh.  and i ordered geoduck.  cuz i love geoduck.  and chomo ordered caviar.  and complained that it was american and not russian sturgeon.  that wasn't bad either.  very salty to end the appetizer portion.  and i may have downed a bit too much wine to wash it down.  maybe that's what gave me the headache.  i would've ordered the branzini but chomo beat me to the punch...so i ended up with the girlled dauraude....fish was good with the herbs de provence but what took me aback was the gnocchi.  i dont even like gnocchi.  that was good.  so were the 3 ketel and sodas that followed.  and the ketel and patron that followed at merc bar.  and then the shot back at home.  and well....i was done by then. 

rushed home to a frat house filled with boys and poker.  and one confused sushi in the kitchen trying to figure out how to bake the cake (twix and cashews and almonds w choco vanilla frosting).  we did it.  and eebs showed up early.  she ate it. and took some home.  happy birthday eebs!
