(e:terry) and I repaired tthe vacuum and the car's taillight yesterday. I love the feeling of things being fixed.

Last night after the Daniel Rogers art show where I got this cool bird on brick...



...we went to Lucy Ethiopian at Grant and Amherst for (e:samathon86)'s birthday dinner. This was my second dinner for the evening, see (e:paul,56353), so I was not as hungry as usual but the food was delicious as always. We even dragged (e:tinypliny) out.













While there we met another person named Cathy that was her exact height. The two of them were to so animated together. It was fun to watch.

(e:yesthatcasey) and I tried to go to Cantina Loco but it was too crowded. The bar was like six rows thick. So we left to walk to Cozumel which was not crowded enough. Then Mothers which was too crowded. Then Coulter Bay which was too crowded and I don't like the food. Then back to Cantina Loco which was even more crowded. Then off to Lagnapes but they don't have drinks. Then the pink stank too much.

So we ended up at Sample. I don't't know why I didn't ever make it there before. I now think it might be choice numbero uno. We had the beef poutine fries, scallops, and calamari. I forgot to take a pictures of the calamari with pickeled radishes but they made the cutest flower out of the radish slices.

For a drink I asked for a vodka tonic with St. Germaine. The bartender said he never heard of it but it was pretty tasty.

I would 110% go back. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

I saw 6AM and it it wasn't pretty. I need a a vacation.

I am so glad to have found this place. The food is so delicious. I am so in love with the Lamb tibs with mushroom and onion. I was worried the food would be too spicy but it isn't't at all. The two entrees I tried came with spicy powder and/or sauce on the side. The injera bread is also very tasty as are the sambusa and the clove tea.
