Weekend Update

We got an earlier start on the weekend, with a tasty dinner at NOFO in Raleigh. 

I've talked about the place before, remember? Old Piggly Wiggly? NC products? Ashe County Cheese? 

Yup, there we go.

We went for dinner this time and had a delicious steak (with Mac and Cheese), salmon (with fried pickles as a side?, YES PLEAAASE) and a DELICIOUS brownie, that had pudding in the middle.

Yup. 

Pudding.

It'd been a while since we'd really hung out with any of "The Core" and we were missing them something fierce.  So Friday, we all set a date.

We went to Sushi Nine on Western Blvd in Raleigh

BOGO is always amazing. 

Our waitress was a cartoon character, and the only option I knew about was Sapporo

We Feasted. 

We ended up getting Yummy Yummy, Victorias Secret, Fiery..something, and a Hurricane.

your guess is as good as mine..

We caught up, laughed and stuffed our tummies til we decided to head back uptown. 

To World of Beer.

The Core

We made new friends...along the way, and reacquainted ourselves with old ones..

Emily and Shannon.

 

Sunday morning, we headed out to Flying Saucer for brunch, like ya do. 

Then we headed out to find a great wreath for the front door. 

 

We did TOO well, as now the door will not close...

but no bother. It IS Christmas :)

Sunday night, Mike took me on a neat date to Raleighwood.  

Tickets were super cheap, only $4.50, and you can get DINNER at your seat.

We saw the Ides of March, which we had ALWAYS meant to get around to seeing and never got the chance to, it's really an AWESOME theatre, smells nice, good food and decent drink selection.

Great date night, you should check it out. :)

Awesome, awesome weekend.
