Good Eats (NOT by Alton Brown. Sorry to disappoint.)

My family eats out quite a bit, and i thought i'd blog about the awesomeness of the restaurants we're eating at from time to time. On Sunday night, after my sisters and my ballet recital, we ate at the Italian restaurant Bar La Grassa (www.BarLaGrassa.com). and might i just say WOW. The Pappardelle with Veal Ragu blew my mind...all over my face. Not literally. I got the Orrechiette with yummy rabbit. No matter how many times i practice saying "orrechiette" to myself before the waiter comes, i alwasy end up saying "Can i please have the orr...uuuhhh...this one? The one with rabbit? please?" embarrassing. Ordering food is not high on the list of difficult things to do, so why do i always make a fool of myself? Beside the point. ALSO the soft polenta was unreal. Is it weird to say that it was 'unreal'? cuz it was very real. And extremely delicious. I HIGHLY recommend Bar La Grassa to any one who likes food... at all.

OLYMPIC love :)

SO my plan to write one of these every day FAILED, because i have only written one...and its been weeks. whoops. ANYWAYS i am so obsessed with the Olympics right now. Alot of people keep saying that they like the summer Olympics better, but i think winter's got alot going for it. I mean i LOVE figure skating. who doesn't, though? and even more, maybe, i love mens halfpipe!!! if there is anyone out there who thinks Shaun White is NOT the man, you have me to deal with. im joking. but seriously, hes pretty dang awesome. And back to figure skating. the mens is on right now, and every time i think "wow, i really want this guy to win", some OTHER guy will go out and skate, and ill be like, "wait, i actually want HIM to win!" ah, its all very annoying, because they are all so cool. but i do like when they fall. That's a natural human reflex i think. Shaudenfreuda or something. haha. i started following this (cute) curler from Duluth on twitter, and now i even think CURLING is cool. aaaand it looks like something i could do...even though i dance ALL THE TIME im still unbelievably UNcoordinated. I cant think of any sports in the winter Olympics i DONT like watching, except the women snowboard halfpipe-ers dont get NEARLY as much air as the dudes. But that doesnt mean i dont like watching it. I really have nothing else to say, except U! S! A! i didnt have to say that but i did anyway. and im going to go watch some figure skating now. adios.
