STRETCHY PANTS, WHERE ARE MY STRETCHY PANTS?!

This blog could also be titled, “A Foodie’s Dream” or, “I Believe it’s called Fabulous,” or, “Six Courses Later…” Part of me feels like titling it, “Even my Fingers Feel Fat.”

Here’s some background…

A few (almost three!) months ago, my dear friend Jen had a son. We’ll call him the Raddest Baby Ever, otherwise known as Ben. A few weeks after his birth, Ben’s maternal grandma came to visit and because she’s allergic to cats, Chris and I took their kitty, Sophia, in for a few days. I, not really a cat lover, didn’t mind so much because, A) I was out of town for a portion of her stay, B) When I was around, she hid under the guest bed, and C) Chris loves him some cats, so I figured he’d like to get a little cat-time in before he gets married to me and thus never gets a cat again 😀

Because we watched fluffy Sophia for a few days, Jen’s fiance said that if we wanted, we could come in to the restaurant where he is the Head Sous Chef and he’d take care of us. He works at what is probably the nicest restaurant in San Diego, Mister A’s. Yes, where you can watch the planes land.

Tonight was the one night in three months that we were actually not busy and that Ben’s dad was actually working (other than a weekend night), so we took him up on his offer. It was, hands down, the best. Meal. Ever. As the night progressed, I tried to remember what we ate (for blogging reasons 😉 , but unfortunately, the meal runs together, and, as I am in a food coma, all I can remember are fragmented pieces of truffle mac and cheese, orange blue cheese, duck, arugula, scallops, KOBE BEEF, and A CHEESE PLATE. Jen must have told him how much we love cheese. Oh, we do. That we do.

So, now Chris and I are home, I’ve put on stretchy pants and asked Chris to bring me my contact lens case and glasses because I PHYSICALLY CANNOT MOVE, and now Chris in bed and says he’s not sure if he will be able to get up again this evening. I feel that pain. I myself might pass out in this mighty comfortable office chair.

Anyway, all this is to say a GIANT THANK YOU for the awesome meal! We will gladly watch Sophia (or Ben!!!) anytime!
