Eggstravaganza

We celebrated Easter early in our office since we can't have meat on Fridays :) So we decided to have an Eggstravaganza! Everything is made with eggs or has egg on it - ha!

My eggs benedict

Joma's pasta carbonara

Little B's salad with hard boiled eggs

And for today, I baked goodies for the office :)

My arm is tired

Weeks ago, I went with the girls to Shabu Shabu. I had never been before so I wanted to know what was up with this Japanese way of cooking. It was lottsa fun and very filling!

The crew

The refreshments

The MEAT

The veggies

The best! Pretty much what you do is you order the meat(s) you want and in front of you, is your individual stove with a hot pot of water to cook it in:

You can add onions and other seasonings to flavor the water. Then you dip your meat and veggies in and eat it with a side of rice. Pretty good...except your arm will get tired - ha!

I do not suggest being brave after a couple of beers and sake shots to let the server drop hot chili oil into your soup because it will make you want to call the fire dept on your mouth. Dayam - that was hot!

But we cooled it down afterwards :)

That guy looks like the Asian Danny Gokey...

After the wedding on Saturday, the Pies tried to rest their bellies and take a nap before dinner. The doggies napped with us :) After some half-slumber, we took off to Tokyo Table. I think I've blogged it before but we ordered different items this time so I'll blog about those.

Check out the cool decor

A chandelier of sake bottles!

We started off Sat night right ;)

Watermelon mojito for Mr. Pie

Lychee Saketini for me (I'm still on my no hard alcohol for Lent promise!)

Both were delish and refreshing!

Also tasty was the ahi tuna salad. The dressing is awesome and the waitress also mentioned you can get it on the calamari salad (hmmm...will have to save that for the next visit!).

Some of the tastiest salmon nigiri I have ever had!

Eel and avocado roll - also delish

And then we started to get full but out came one of their signature dishes - garlic shrimp.They cook it at your table in a hot stone bowl. We had a couple of bites before we asked for it to go. It was delicious but we were stuffed Pies. We had a wonderful time on date night!

By the way, I highly recommend OpenTable.com - I was able to make our reservations online about 40 minutes before. It's easy and you can get reward points!

Mazeltov!

Today the Pies attended BridetoBee's wedding. It was lovely and the best surprise was seeing Tams! She flew in from NYC early this morning.

Here's BabyFuzz nappin' before the ceremony

The Pies all gussied up

Me and Tams!

The cake!

BabyFuzz loves the chocolate cake

Mr. Pie was amazed by BabyFuzz's throwing arm

We couldn't get a picture of BabyFuzz throwing his baseball but he has a pretty good arm for a 16 month old!

I had never attended a Jewish marriage ceremony before and it was wonderful. We watched as the both the bride and groom participated in the stepping of the glass and we all shouted "Mazeltov!", wishing them good luck. I don't think they need it - they are madly in love!

Feeling blue

I'm not having that great of a day so I thought I'd post things that make me smile :)

Lunch with BabySasa yesterday

Office Crazies

My loves

Sundaes with great friends

What's on your list to smile about :)

Happy Friday!

Knock Knock - where's Tiffany?!

Happy Slappy Hour at Maki Maki Sushi!

The prices are pretty good and happy hour is until closing (much better than the ones that are done at 6 pm when I'm just leaving work!). The service was another story...
