mexican cook at benihana
me and andy went to benihana tonight for dinner. we started this thing a few years ago where we celebrate our birthdays for 48 hours. so, your birthday technically starts at noon the day before your actual birthday and ends at noon the day after. and somehow, andy has expanded birthdays to last a week before, and weeks after. it's crazy, but i try as hard as i can to amuse him. anyway, we were going to go out to dinner tonight, and andy wanted tio leo's which i thought was insane because we are supposed to go there tomorrow night, but when he got home he said he was kidding about tio leo's and we could go somewhere else. i offered PF Changs (which i always try to offer) but he said no, and offered benihana. anyway, our cook was mexican. i felt a little robbed. i mean, the food was amazing, but somehow it just doesn't offer the same experience. i mean, would you feel pretty good about having a japanese guy make you a carne asada burrito? i doubt it. i got the filet mignon and it was soooo good... it just melted in your mouth. yum.
well, i decorated our christmas tree tonight. it's very simple, but i think it is pretty. it's all white. lights, bows, pearls, glass balls, and a big white bow at the top. it was fun listening to my christmas cd and decorating the tree. i got that warm - all over "christmas"-sy feeling. anyway, we stayed up until midnight so andy could open his birthday gift, and i spent an hour and a half decorating the tree, and it is now 2am. it is time for bed. tomorrow is going to probably be a long day.... but that's okay, it's the day of my love's birth, so that's not bad. Happy birthday, love!
