Sad Bunny Day...

Much to my disappointment the U2 concert I was going to on June 16 was canceled.

Bono needed emergency spinal surgery and now has to recover. It's a HUGE concert and U2 is one of my favs so it's a bummer, but it will be rescheduled. Looking like it won't be until 2011 though.

Triple D Adventure

Paul and I have FINALLY finished our tour of the local restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I take that back, we didn't eat at Rick's Press Room, not for lack of trying however. We went a few times and they were always closed, so we said forget it.

First we went to Bar Gernkia, a Basque restaurant in downtown Boise. One of the specialty foods and one featured on the show is cow tongue...we did not try that. I had the Solomo sandwich - marinated pork loin with pimientos and served on a freshly baked french roll and Paul had the Lamb Grinder. We also had these yummy little cheese curd things called croquetas. They were REALLY good. Overall the restaurant was ok, but not a must have.

Then we tried the Westside Drive-In on State Street. We really liked this place and have been back several times since. Here's a picture of the slider special... I think it was only $4.00 including drinks!

Next stop Hilltop Cafe aka Kodiak Grill on top of the hill past Lucky Peak. Another yummy spot we recommend. We haven't been back but would like to...I want to try their breakfast!

I can't remember the name of what we ate, but it was good! Oh we had sweet potato fries too.

Then we checked out the most uniquely name restaurant on the list...PizzalChick. They serve pizza, salads and roasted chicken. The inside leaves much to be desired, but it was really yummy. We opted for pizza and potato salad, but the chicken looked amazing. I think we will go back for chicken some time.

The pizza we choose was Wild Forest Mist - elk, wild mushrooms and rainbows - I know the picture doesn't look too appetizing but trust me it was good!

Last but not least we tried Donnie Mac's Trailer Park Cuisine. I was really excited about this one, but came away less then impressed. The food is average, nothing special. It's the decor' that makes this place what it is. I will say the custard ice was super yummy!

It's a Twilight Thang!

So I admit it, I got sucked into world of Twilight. I realize many of you out there HATE Twilight and well that's too bad : ) Feel free to skip this post if it's not up your alley.

It all started when I decided to read the books and find out what all the hype was about. I saw 'Twilight' when it came out and wasn't too impressed. When I saw 'New Moon' (a better movie) I started to get into the story. It has a Romeo and Juliet quality, and if you know me at all, you know I LOVE tragic love stories. I got the books and started to read thinking I would be able to read them without becoming one of the dreaded "Twihards". I was wrong, I got totally sucked in and now understand the whole phenomenon. I read all 4 books, plus the incomplete Midnight Sun manuscript, in approximately 1 week. I was hooked and re-read them all, with the exception of the last book, Breaking Dawn, kinda hated it, but that's a story for another day.

The books are not literary masterpieces, but there's just something special about the story that draws you in and makes you want more. My friends said it best, "The characters have a very innocent and intense connection, based on old fashion romance. We live in a world where everything is so casual and thrust in your face all the time...romance is gone. That's why people connect with this story, they are longing for romance".

Anyway, like I said I've been into Twilight lately and so have a few of my girl friends. We had a screening party of the movies. Yes it was themed, but it was all done is fun. We certainly don't take any of this too seriously, it was a good time and fun to decorate!

The colors were red, black and white, with the exception of the Jacob themed items. We had red and white candles everywhere lighting the room. Red and black paper lanterns hung from the ceiling with glowing lights. The goodie bags had themed candy, red, black, and sparkly nail polish and a cute little apple. We replaced all the pictures on the walls with posters and sayings from the movies and yes there is was a cardboard Edward! Here are a few pics..unfortunately the camera flash makes it look like the lights were on. I promise the candlelight made everything look WAY cooler.

PS...for those who are wondering... I'm totally Team Edward even though my fav book is New Moon...it's that tragic love story thing : )
