started off the month with another girls weekend, this time with some SF BFF's...early birthday celebration for Christina
thought we would do one day at the new Cosmpolitan hotel in City Center...dinner at Jaleo for Spanish Tapas, loved it and highly recommend it
got some suggestions from a co-worker and they were all good, the favorites that stood out...chicken fritters, kinda fun served in a shoe?
empanadas...we ordered seconds
endives
salmon tartar
and my favoritest, lobster paella... so good, salty, but I like salty so I loved it!
birthday girl
this hazelnut cake was so good, we were all in awe :) I liked it so much I think I am going to take Jay here for his birthday!
after dinner had a drink at the Chandelier bar...very pretty inside the Cosmopolitan, the huge chandelier is in the center of the place
then we headed upstairs to Marquee, was lots of fun...the music, service and atmosphere, all good
ended the night sleep eating, we really didn't need to eat, but I ate this whole box plus chili cheese fries :) Thanks Christina for bringing me these delightful treats, I absolutely love them!
next morning took the girls to the Cracked Egg for some omelets, burritos but mainly for the delicious coffee cake, we shoved all of our carbs to Johannah since Christina and I were trying to be good, since we were so bad the night before
during the day the girls had a spa day while I went to hang with the family...met up later in the evening for dinner at Bouchon at the Venetian
duck confit was delish, was so good with the spinach and berries
had my first traditional french salad, frisee
tried the girls escargot, topped with a mini cream puff...hadn't had it since middle school while on a cruise with my parents, so couldn't remember...I liked it, was pretty good but probably not something I would crave, part of me just can't get over what they are
XS, we ended up more people watching the 2nd night as it was an interesting crowd. The highlight of the night was we got mistaken for 23 year olds, yay :) Was a fun girls weekend, glad we got to celebrate early with Christina!
then came back home Sunday and spent Superbowl with Jay and the kids...Tip, Nin and Dee came over and we had a junk fest...pizza, nachos, chicken wings...and deep fried oreos
and ceviche, which I was excited about and never thought to make at home, they showed how to make it at church (they started a series on Jonah so they have these cute opening clips called "Man vs Fish) , didn't do exactly how they did, but good enough, :) didn't realize you can make it with just lime, it was yummy, will be making more often
