evening plans

the last full week of january was loaded with evening plans. between bachelor watching party, date night, cooking class, and supper club, my after school schedule was amazing. i love weeks like that! it keeps me from just counting down to the weekend.

now, i want to report specifically on the events pictured above. we dined at flip burger for our date night, which solidified my feelings on that restaurant. i chose to go there for dinner because i was craving fried pickles and a chocolate shake, thanks to a zaxby's commercial (disclaimer, i do not like zaxbys). unfortunately, flip's fried pickles were horrible and i will have to make the trip out to roswell's fickle pickle next time this craving occurs. on the flip side (haha) the nutella milkshake was heaven like always. seriously, the best chocolate milkshake in the land. it is thick and creamy and comes topped with torched marshmallows. after the expensive bill came, i decided that other than the nutella, flip just isn't really worth it. i have decided that when it comes to burgers, i like mine simple, without the foaming cheese. i would much rather go to yeah burger or five guys any day.

also pictured above, are pictures from a cooking class that katie and i took. it was such a fun night out in the city, trying new foods and learning some good cooking tips. the class was a lot of observation, but we did get to make our own crackers! we also enjoyed scallop and shrimp pesto appetizers, salad with homemade dressing, butternut squash puree, and delicious mouse pastry with strawberries. yum!

i am obviously loving all these new food options in our city. now if i could just get paid to photograph, eat, and review food all day long, that would be great!
