Yesterday afternoon chris called us up to see if we wanted to hang out
with samshrew and sushi dog. They had a zip car and were headed to
mclaren park for an afternoon adventure. We happily said yes and then
spent the next few hours exploring the park and making friends with
other dogs. Afterwards we were all pretty hungry so we got back in the
car and started driving. Chris remembered that there was a burger
stand by city college and so we headed there. I ordered the quarter
pounder with fries (although I wished I had thought of onion rings in
time as I tend to prefer those) and a root beer float. The root beer
tasted a bit watery, but everything else was good right down to the
melty american cheese.

On Sunday morning, Randall decided he was going to make potstickers
for brunch. I am flush with ripe tomatoes and thought a caprese salad
would be good. However I knew I would be sad to miss out on the fried
foods, and so I had Randall make some for me too. They didn't fully
mix together, but as morm says, it all goes to the same place anyway.

Saturday night Randall cooked himself up a porkchop for dinner. I had
a few bites, but wasn't really interested or hungry. An hour or so
later anneh and I met up at birite for ice cream. I was originally
going to get just a kids scoop, but somehow ended up going with a full
blown bananasplit with two kinds of ice cream. I wish I had said no
whip cream, it just always makes the ice cream taste less awesome. It
was, however, an amazingly warm night and hour long talks in the park
over ice cream was exactly what I wanted for dinner.

After brunch on saturday dk, Randall, and I went walking. We headed
toward the wave organs and then doubled back towards union street. I
never make it to that neighborhood, so I had no idea that it was home
to a super cute candy store. Dk was hunting for a hostess gift and
ended up building a super cute candy box. I, knowing that my no sweets
for the entire month of October pact with Melissa was looming, bought
a bag of sour stars to devour in a few days. I actually didn't like
them much and knew I should've gone with the sour grapefruit.
Afterwards we got ourselves a coffee boost and Randall and I decided
to split a coffee frap. I thought it was going to be a bad idea, but
it turned out to be the perfect amount of ice and caffeine.

On saturday morning, Randall and I grabbed anneh and then drove off to
the opposite side of the city to meet dk for brunch. When she and I
had the pizza at piccino she told me that I had to try the one at
rose's cafe, and so we made a date. It was a good pizza, but I didn't
love it. The eggs were great though. We also split the poached eggs
over polenta and what can I say? If it's an egg and it's cooked well,
I'm going to love it. Especially when it's paired with a bloody Mary
on a lazy Saturday morning.
