oh. my. god.
It was the right plan for a birthday surprise for Meredith, but i'm not certain i can do this again any time soon.
See, Meredith only rarely drinks ethanol-based beverages; and her poison of choice is root beer. Not too many places in our 'hood carry root beer on tap, but there are an awful lot of good dessert locations. So. A dessert crawl seemed in order.
We started with dinner at Bruno's, and encountered dessert number one:
A martini glass full of (reportedly) excellent chocolate pudding, with what i think was creme anglaise on top, and shards of chocolate.
Then on to Ti Couz. A shared simple berry crepe, and a lemon sugar. And a friendly bartender.
A stop at Luna Park to make reservations, and on to Timos. A cute bartender who talked flirtatiously of pain, a crepe suzette & a lemon tartlette, and mint tea.
Then back to Luna Park, for a few orders of 'Build your own S'mores'. Mere sereneded us with a re-rendering of Jay & Silent Bob's 'And then i ate S'mores'.
And then it was both closing time for restaurants, and a conquered foursome, full of sugar. Tomorrow i'll add links and make Mike report on whether or not Mere slept at all tonight.
(Oh yes. A sucess, definitely.)
(Wednesday note: somehow, between the coffee and the sugar, i didn't get to sleep until 6am. Go figure.)
Yes, she slept, eventually. Sometime after about 3 AM, I think. As did I.
I don't think I can remember the last time I had that much sugar.
Wow!
5{leep. Besides, I was not the one confusing my system with mugs and mugs of coffee or glasses and glasses of ethanol. My body knows how chocolate feels and it knows what to do.
Clearly, the rest of y'all needed to do more pushups. :)
