poor house bistro

take out dinner from poor house bistro with the main asian.  these pictures are really bad but i was so hungry i was not going to take them over.. this girl needed to eat.  i'd highly recommend this as a place to check out but don't go on an evening if there is a hockey game or concert since it's basically across the street from the hp pavilion.

red beans & rice – served with corn bread with andouille sausage

the poor house – ham, roast beef, beef drippin’s and topped with au jus, dressed with shredded cabbage, tomato, pickles, mayo, creole mustard on a new orleans style french roll

jambalaya – smoked sausage and chicken simmered in tomato based creole sauce

beignets – 3 freshly-made donuts, served warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar

new tour dates:
12-10 santa cruz – catalyst atrium

WHO WANTS TO GO??

super bass

so the other day alexis shared this video with me and randomly i heard this the next day on KMEL.  i thought i'd give this song a shout out since i heard she killed it at the i heart radio show over the weekend.  i guess they wanted to see if she could pull this off live and apparently she showed them.

ashes

a crazy rad parks and rec party filled with:

mouse rat cd

throwback thursday - wishful thinking

this will always and forever be a happy upbeat song to me.  i can remember my dad singing this song after break ups when i was growing up.  we'd be cruising in the car listening to this song while singing along and trying to forget about whatever my dads flavor of the months name was.  it may not be the normal happy childhood story but for some reason this song brings me back to my preteen years and reminds me of only happy thoughts.

celebrate good times..

come on!!

enjoying a couple of cold ones to celebrate
punky's test completion

49ers vs. cowboys

thank you ice cold lemonade for keeping me cool on this oddly hot day in san francisco, luck for us our seats were in the shade.

why did the niners have to lose to the cowboys?

train wreck

the title for this post was not my idea but i liked it enough to steal it from my girl punky.  i'm not sure why this had to be but train was the closing performance of the evening.  it was fun to hear a few songs but overall they were nothing special.  his voice was just average and not nearly as crisp and clear as on their recordings, plus they were anything but entertaining.  the singer was more focused on having the crowd sing than singing the songs himself.  sorry train but you won't be seeing me in the audience again.

hands all over, put your hands all over me

throwback thursday - meet virginia

seeing train tonight and finally i'll know how i really feel about them.. stay tuned

pattaya thai restaurant

definitely not the best thai food i've had  and i don't like the fact that both times i've eaten here that the curry is too runny but they do have wonderful mangoes and sticky rice for dessert and that alone makes the trip worth while.

diggers

went to lunch with my coworkers and here was my lunch order: corn fritters, chili cheese fries and a hot link breakfast sandwich (this sandwich had eggs, cheese and hash browns oh my)

welcome diggers to hayward and thank you for being making greasy delicious goodness.

greek festival

good thing brenda works in belmont and knew about this greek event!  the food was delicious and even though i had no idea what i was doing the dancing was fun as well.

i have no clue what these are called but it's a greek doughnut topped with cinnamon and don't you worry this bunch was just for me and i nearly finished it but was just too stuffed.
