Good morning weekend!

I had lunch at Asia Bistro in Pentagon City recently with the roomie. It was pretty good, though the dinner menu was a bit expensive.

We started with the seaweed salad which was tasty
Then to the main course
The view was pretty great
Renee had the Thai ice tea which I don’t like but she said it was great

I think the best part is that they have sidewalk seating for those balmy summer nights.

So while I was in New Orleans, I came across this adorable little paper shop. Of course I went in, remember I’m in a life-or-death search for a new notebook? Okay not life-or-death, but important. Well I found one in that little paper shop.

A nice sturdy leather cover
Lined pages, it does stay open with some coaxing
Can’t go wrong with that

I’ve only filled the first few pages but so far so good. Its smaller size also lends itself to being carried more places. Plus the cover just feels nice. I miss the weight of my old notebook and at the same time I really don’t. When this one is full I’m thinking about checking out a paper store in Old Town, Fifteen-Eleven. Maybe I’ll have similar luck there since Barnes & Noble failed me.

Here’s wishing you a super weekend!

So one day during the week last week, I came home from work and whipped up a fresh batch of pasta. Yep I said that right, making pasta on the weekdays. It’s really not that hard and it tastes SOOOOO much better.

Cooked it with some farmers market tomatoes and chorizo. Melted a little goat cheese and parmesan. Delicious.

It didn’t last long…

So last Thursday I saw the midnight showing of Avengers. I highly recommend seeing the movie. But before the movie I walked around by the theater with my roommate. We went to Georgetown and down by the river there is this great little park, with steps down to the river to sit on, benches and grass, and a killer fountain with spectacular views.

Sorry for the bad pictures but the iPhone doesn’t do well at night it seems.

Here is my sage advice for this fine Friday. Go see Avengers. It was amazing and so worth the 3 hours of sleep I got last night.
