rewind

on christmas eve i woke up pretty happy.  we even had some time to sit on the front porch and enjoy a cup of coffee with roxy at our feet.  i told rosie i'd meet her at target to pick up the pj's she picked up for me (she works there).  after we met i walked around target just to kill some time.  i could not believe they already had valentine's things for sale and some of the items were sold out!

i made it back home starved around noon and watched some tv.  by this time i started to feel sick and a little on the melancholy side.  everything i watched on tv whether it was christmas related or not made me cry.  what the hell is wrong with me?

anyway, after a while i got tired of watching tv and decided to make myself a holiday cocktail and read my holiday book.  i made us a peppermint patty with a shot of the following, creme de cacao, peppermint shnapps, vodka and half and half shaken with ice then stirred in a martini glass with a little drop of grenadine and a candy cane on the rim. 

Peppermint Patty Cocktail

we made reservations for dinner at dal rae for 7:30pm.  we left around 6:30pm and hung out at the bar.  and just our luck, we had the worst waitress that took forever to get our drinks.  we got so tired of waiting that t went up to the bar.  can you believe this chick had the oddasity to tell t she had placed the order already AND gave him attitude?!  we saw her filling other orders so i'm sure she forgot about us.  t says to her "well cancel it".  you can tell she was pist...what a bitch!

anyway, dinner was awesome.  we went all out.  we had a delicious shrimp cocktail, the best ceasar salad, i had fillet mignon with shitake mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes, and t had white fish with a chipotle cream sauce.  i thought i would not have room for dessert but i stopped eating early just to make sure i left room and the tiramisu was worth it!

we tried again, including roxy, to see griffith park's light display but it was closed.  i guess it was not meant to be!
