Happy Mothers Day!!!!!

Happy Mothers Day! To all the moms out. This year I was fortunate enough to actually spend mothers day with my mother and grandmother. I flew home to Albuquerque, NM on Thursday night for duel purpose of finding my wedding dress and spending mothers day with my mom!

It was a really wonderful weekend. On Friday I worked from home and on Friday night my mom and I went to her Salsa fitness dance class. We worked up a sweat and then went home and changed to go out for dinner and cocktails! Normally when I am home I try to hit up as many mexican places as my stomach could hold. This weekend was different, my mom wanted to show me that there was more to New mexico then just chile and enchiladas. So we had dinner at Nob Hill Bar and Grill.

I have to admit I was suprised at how good the drinks and the food was. The menu offers comfort food with an updated twist. My mom and I had the shrimp corn dogs, Tuna nachos and sweet potatoe fries. Those are appitizers on the menu so it was little plates that we shared. Also on the menu was a Kobe Chili Dog, Mac and cheese, Kobe chile frito pie (fredo pie on the menu). The best part of the meal was the cocktail.

I have had my share of good cocktails in my day but this one was AMAZING!!! It's called Berries and Bubbles. What it is, is blackberries and raspberries soaked in vodka. They mix the berries with blueberry vodka then top with champagne. Then they ad dry ice to make it bubble. It was so good. Too good if you ask me. The kind of cocktail you have three or four of without even thinking about it good. I only had one because I knew if I got two I would need two more. I have pictures of the food and the cocktails. I am currently sitting at the airport writing this post waiting to fly back to San Diego. I will share the photos when I get home and download them.

Besides the food. I had a wonderful time with my family and friends. I will tell you more. But they are startin to board my plane so. This will be continued. Have a wonderful mothers day!

I am Baaaccck!

I know, I know it's been a really long time since my last post like four months! I have a really good reason for not posting. Since you've last heard from me. I've moved into a new apartment. Gone to Europe and gotten engaged! Yes you read right I am engaged! Cory purposed to me while we were in Paris. So I hope you can understand why I have been so lax in my postings.

Also I have so much to share that I don't know where to start. So I am hoping that throughout the upcoming weeks I will catch up on my trip, life and last but never least the FOOD!

Everyday I was away I wrote in my journal to make sure I didn't forget at thing. Plus I took lots of pictures of all the delicious food I ate. I loved the food so much in Europe, that I had to buy and extra suitcase to bring home the cheese, chocolate wine that I picked up while I was there.

I promise to do a longer post on Europe when I am not currently under the influence of a sleeping pill. I can't wait to share all my food adventures and stories with you. I almost thought that I had been away so long that I didn't have anyone following my blog anymore. I was very wrong.

So thank you Charese and Amanda for reminding me that I do have an audience and stories that need to be shared. I promise to never let this much time lapse again between postings. :) 

Bonsoir
