way to show good judgment, there
The scale at the gym has decided to stop telling me The Lies. I guess my threats involving Molotov cocktails and such have paid off. Or possibly my new healthy living plan has. Or I've become better at reading numbers. I don't know which it is. But the point is that I am going to celebrate by treating myself to an evening of gastronomic fabulousness this weekend. I'm going to Greg's Restaurant with Foodie, my sisters, and whoever else told Foodie that they want to come. It's run by the culinary arts people at Utah Valley State College, and every week they serve a different 5-course meal. I went once on French Night and spent the entire meal in a half-swoon. This year they're featuring regions in the US, and this weekend it's Pacific Northwest Night, which is exactly what I would have picked if I were in charge.
Check out what you get for $16.95. You pick one item from each category, and then you make your neighbors pick the other options so that you can taste all of them.

And there are desserts, but we don't find out what they are until we get there--this is probably to keep some people (me) from trying to eat their computer monitor in a frenzy of chocolate lust.
So yeah, I'm pretty much living for Friday. Also, since I'm going to be down there for a work event (the conference on books) I can turn in my receipt from dinner and get reimbursed. Have I mentioned that I love my job?
I'm Steph, a librarian and mom of 3 (not sure how that happened). Let's chat books, food, Sumptuous Literary Adaptations, poop, knitting and maybe some crazy Mormon Feminism.

WOW, I live in the Pacific Northwest and I don't get to eat any of those lovely foods. I want them, and I want them now. (sans fishy foods, naturally) Lucky You!!
Holy cow. I want it too!
You should come Craner. Dibs on the Oregon blue cheese salad.
Hannah, I don't know if Foodie has made the reservation yet. Speak up if you want to come and I'll see if it's a possibility.
Oh man, that sounds delicious! You lucky lucky lucky lady!
I TOTALLY want to come!
