Visit #2 to Mia & Grace
We really meant to go back to Mia & Grace earlier than this, but unforseen circumstances car breakdown) cramped our plans.
However, my main goal today was to make it there. And we did! It was much busier today than it was the last time we were in (which was only about two weeks after they opened). It made us happy to see the seats filled!

Eric started out with a cup of cool cucumber soup, garnished with a cucumber and fish eggs. Yum.
After checking out the menu, I decided on the grass fed burger. Yum - perfectly seasoned and with onions in the burger. It came with a side of zucchini and onions, and also the burger was topped with creole aioli. The buns/bread are all made in house.
Eric got the Pistachio Lake Trout. This was very good - it was encrusted in pistachios, and on a pile of mashed potatoes.
And, finally - dessert!!!! We went for the carrot cake today. It is by far the best carrot cake we've had. Great cream cheese frosting, and the pecans on the side were a great addition!

McCain interview in Time Magazine
A friend of mine just send me a link to this article, and I had to post it. I can't believe how standoff-ish McCain seems in this interview.

Finally compelled...
All week, I haven't really been into watching the Democratic Convention at all. I've just been tired, and more interested in things that have been closer to home. It was a very odd feeling to get questions all week about what I thought about speeches and respond "I haven't watched it yet." I'm sure it was also weird for the people who were asking - I usually am up on all of that stuff!
Last night, I made a point of getting home after yoga (picked up sushi), and settling into my chair. Of course, since I don't have cable, I couldn't watch all the coverage before the big speech, so I watched a little football. Then I realized that PBS had coverage - d'oh!
I know it sounds cliche, because lots of other people are saying it, but watching the video before the speech really solidified my belief that this is the right time for Barack Obama to lead our country. His speech reinforced that - it pointed out that John McCain doesn't quite know what real people in our country are going through, it challenged McCain to debate Obama, and it gave us hope.
After this weekend, I will be quite ready to get out and do what I can!

Hey you!!!
Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength. - Eric Hoffer
Yeah, I'm talking to you. You're the person that said you were going to send me a copy of a file about two weeks ago. Or the one I've emailed a few times, wondering why you're not responding. I called about 4 times, trying to reach you, but you haven't called me back. Why does it take me 7 emails to just find out one piece of information for someone else? Oh, I didn't realize that you could break up with someone without telling them.
I know you're busy - we're all busy. But at least have the decency to get back with someone, even if it's to tell them that you don't have an answer yet or aren't sure, things aren't working out and you want to break up, or that you just plain don't want to ever talk to me again. It's cool - it's better than NOTHING.

Soup to Nutz Bistro
After high recommendations from Runs with Spatula, Eric and I tried Soup to Nutz Bistro on Sunday morning for breakfast.
I had the Eggs with Deviled Crab with wheat toast:
Eric had the Eggs Carbonara with wheat toast:
I loved mine. The deviled crab had a little spice in it, and it was great with the hollandaise sauce and eggs. Eric said his was a little rich, but very good.
Overall, highly recommended for a nice Sunday brunch!
