five things!


5 things! It’s a good, rainy day for a 5 things I’m looking forward to post:
1.       Seeing my mom this weekend! She is coming to visit for the day so we plan on taking her to the farmer’s market and perhaps making a trip up to Burlington.  She’ll also be bringing up our new couch and desk; we’re both looking forward to not sitting on the floor anymore.


2.       Grilled cheese with basil garlic butter for dinner tonight.


3.       My fancy colored hair extensions have shipped! Can’t wait to try my rainbow braid.

one of the blended colors i picked.


4.       Date night at Salt.  With the goal of saving money in the forefront of our minds, we agreed on eating in all week except for one night.  I asked Zach if he would like to try Salt, a teeny tiny restaurant on our street for our “out” night this week.  The menu at Salt changes every 3 weeks; here is a sampling of the current Spanish menu: YUM!

small plates: almond-crusted tuna, piquillo-pepper coulis, capers
tomato & cucumber gazpacho, cherry tomato confit, pickled garlic-scape & sage pesto (v)
chicken-liver & caramelized onion empanada, Spanish blue cheese, oak honey

entrees: beef shank braised in red wine-chocolate sauce, wilted greens, blue-cheese mashed potatoes
saffron risotto, clams, mussels, sugar snap peas
pork ravioli, sherry-orange sauce


5.       Movie trivia, free popcorn, drinks specials and Page One at the theatre across from our apartment.  Haven’t heard of Page One?  Check out the trailer here:
