Seabar with PaulCategory: food
Yesterday after work, (e:paul) and I were feeling the bougie waves of hunger wash over us. So we went to Seabar. It was my first time there and it was the best food ever.
We split the seaweed salad and the carmelized goat cheese salad. The goat cheese salad had a little torched crust like a creme brulee along with celery leaf greens and a raspberry vinegar sauce.
I got the vegetarian rolls, with red pepper, avacado, mushroom and cucumber. We also split the sugar egg Tamago roll. I bet we can make something like these at home, just not as pretty looking.
We got dessert too. It was this peanut butter fudge type crispy treat, with caramel sauce, berries and whipped cream.
After we got back, I did duolingo and watched more Teen Wolf with (e:terry).

Haha (e:tinypliny) I think each roll was $7 except the vegetarian was $6! With the dessert, wine and tip I think it ended up about $30 a person, which seems crazy. But as a once in a while thing it was really amazing. I'd say a trip back to Buffalo is worth it even without sushi though, lol.
(e:lilho) I've gone full boug. Thank (e:paul).
(e:jbeatty) Thanks, that actually looks like doable for a non-cook like me. I definitely believe it. I want to reverse engineer those treats.

They have the best tomago! It's actually really fun to make. Just watch a couple of youtube videos. You don't need the square pan, just a decent non-stick skillet.
I love the chocolate peanut butter crisps too. The cooks would give us the scrap edges of those. I think that's part of the reason I gained 10lbs when I worked there!

May I ask how much was each dish? I am trying to add up everything + the plane trip to Buffalo to justify to myself that it is okay to eat granny smiths and chocolate for dinner again tonight without suffering from green pangs of jealousy.

Bierklub wiederCategory: beer
Beer club was a week later this month because of the blizzard last week.
Just writing this post makes my mouth cringe, since the beers this month were all stouts. For sure the most disgusting beers I've ever had. Most of them tasted like someone dumped burnt flavored coffee in a terrible beer. Even the stout people were not very impressed with most of them. We left right after the beer was done because seconds weren't even worth it. At home the church of the old pink was founded somehow. There was also some alcohol-fueled dummheit again. It was super annoying.
On the bright side (e:terry) and I got out Girl Scout cookies! Too bad about the transfats. I also got to catch up with Michelle for a little bit. She was telling me how after graduation this semester she's planning on going on a big trip to South America. It sounds awesome, I wish I had planned for something like that last year.
On the way back I stopped at the coop. Maybe I need to start purchasing peanut butter in $50 tubs?
Model shots of (e:yesthatcasey). He wanted a good picture

Basra's Jumbo Rainbow SnackCategory: random
Apparently sometime on St. Patrick's day, Basra ordered some snacks on (e:terry)'s office computer. I didn't even realize he was there (he may have done it with the help of (e:paul), (e:mike) and I). Terry saw this open when he went into work on Monday.
Since Basra didn't ask before he ordered $82 worth of penis pops, I called to cancel it. The woman on the phone pretty much understood when I told her it was St. Patrick's day. I told her Basra was a tortoise and wouldn't be needing any penis candy. She never fufilled the order because she was confused why the name didn't match the card. She also told me it was flagged because of something inappropriate written in the memo section, but she wouldn't tell me what it was. Must have been terrible if the dirty candy company won't say it. I feel kind of bad for their wasted time although I am sure it happens a lot.
Poor Bas doesn't know his address or zip code either!

Vanilla Cupcake FishCategory: food
I think I want to be some sort of snack engineer from now on. Someone comes up with all these ridiculous variations on snacks. Vanilla cupcake goldfish, they didn't taste very good but something about them made me finish the package. The taste was weird and fake cake flavored, kind of like a sugar-ier cake vodka.
It reminds me how I used to inhale Cupcake Pebbles when it was a thing. Those probably tasted the same flavorwise but I could eat a box in an evening.

You clearly have a problem. And THEY are targeting you. *gasp*

I just want to note I have no idea what the actual idea was anymore, but I thought the picture of (e:terry) was cute and I wanted to post it.
I read it as friendsumo and I thought wow, new olympic sport
