Reserving with ease

Forgot to mention last night that I used Open Table as a last-minute way to get dinner reservations. I knew that almost everywhere in Boulder was bound to be full for Valentine's Day, but at a friend's suggestion I downloaded the Open Table app (it operates as a website as well). I was shocked! I never thought that finding a place to eat could be so easy! In the future I think I'll use the app to avoid repeatedly going to the same restaurants when there are so many others just waiting to be tried, since they are all listed right there!

Anyways, we ended up at Japango, a delish sushi restaurant on the Pearl Street Mall. With just one click I had reservations, and could breathe a sigh of relief. Yummy good, romantic setting (I'm such a sucker for Christmas lights anytime of the year), and great company!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! This year was a great one for me :)

Started off with my surprise finally arriving (I've been trying to get hints out of the boyfriend for a few days now), a yummy Edible Arrangements box of chocolate-dipped fruit!

Then in the evening I got all dressed up (here you go Mama, my outfit!)...

...and we went out for sushi!

The plan was originally to finish the night off with some fro yo, but we were way too full (we ordered round two after this picture was taken) to keep eating after this. Oh well, nothing makes my tummy happier than being full of sushi! Hope your Valentine's Days were as delicious as mine :)

Last day of break

On my last day of break, I enjoyed a relaxing day full of food. 

My parents came up to Boulder and we enjoyed a nice snowy afternoon at a nearby coffee shop with hot chai and adorable truffles (from left: white chocolate decadence, Gran Marnier, mint, and sea salt caramel). I have started reading The Hunger Games in anticipation of the upcoming movie, and got a decent portion read today.

This was followed by a delicious sushi dinner, my absolute all-time favorite food. I was absolutely stuffed...

...but I still had room for dessert! Moshi-covered ice cream balls. The pink were strawberry flavored, the yellow mango flavored, and the green green tea flavored. Super yummy. What a delicious end to a great break!
