Café Con Monica

Hello Monday!

April 16, 2018

I slacked so hard last week on posting so this week I am hoping to catch up and get back in a groove! 

This past weekend was busy but cold and gross out so I feel like it might have put a damper on everything. I barely took photos even though I was out and about the whole weekend!

Friday night I was in the mood for italian (which never happens) so we headed down to a place I like and it was packed. Instead of waiting 2 hours we walked around the corner to Piccolo Sogno and got a seat right away. It ended up being an expensive dinner but it was all delicious and cutesy and romantic. Then we went home and watched Doctor Strange! We are about 4 movies behind in our Marvel countdown to Infinity War.

 Turns out if you want great pictures of your food you shouldn’t let me take them!
Seafood Mix (Calamari, shrimp, fish, scallops)

The best gnocchi I have ever had!!

       
Wild Boar spaghetti

 
Saturday was a cold and rainy day! I headed out to Target later in the day after Thenewguy told me there were defnitely some cute things from Hunter that I might want. Unfortunately the backpacks were gone immediately. Though you can probably thank the assholes on ebay selling them for 2-3x the price they were in store for that.

Saturday night I hosted a “girls night out” meetup and so many people bailed because of weather but it ended up working out anyway.
We went to City Social for dinner…I won’t even bother sharing the picture becuase the food sucked. They also let me make a reservation even though they were supposed to close at that time and then called me 2 hours before trying to get me to change the reservation. Which since I had a group was not possible. They rushed us through our meal, while half the staff stood at the bar talking to each other and waiting for us to finish.

Headed out to Hubbard Inn…for some drinks and ended up dancing the night away there!  I love the atmosphere and look there!

Sunday I spent the day with family! We went to the mall to hang out and had dinner at Pf Changs. I have no idea why I didn’t take photos…I suck.

Today…woke up to this…
