Yum, cabbage!

You know when you're pregnant and certain things sound ZOMG SO GOOD? Like the time two weeks ago I drove 20 mins to KFC just for some coleslaw? For some reason, KFC Coleslaw is my favorite, favorite, favorite. My friend Kira posted a recipe on her blog for, yep, you guessed it, COLESLAW! I tried it out last night, and this recipe is definitely a keeper. That's how we rate our recipes. Will I ever make it again? HECK YES! If you get a yes, that recipe is a keeper for sure. I'm going to pass on to you, the one person that reads my blog, the delicious coleslaw recipe.

Chop up:
1 head of cabbage
2 carrots
1/4 a red onion (about 2 tbsp)
Whisk up in a bowl:
1/3 c Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Pepper
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Mayo
1.5 tbsp Vinegar
2.5 tbsp Lemon Juice
Mix it all together, and that's it.

I will have to say, I made it a few hours before dinner, and the juices were able to soak into the cababge/carrots/onion and it was excellent. I ate copious amounts just after it was mixed together, and had a tiny serving at dinner that tasted MUCH better! So I would suggest making it a few hours before you're going to serve it. Look at that, my first recipe on my blog. LOL

The Gala...er sorta.

Here's a little playbook of our night last night.

Barry's ready for dinner! Just guess where we ate!



I'm getting better with the self portraits. The D90 is a LOT heavier than the D40 was. This one turned out pretty good


Here's where we went to dinner-


Just kidding. That's where the boys ate dinner





And here's where we ate dinner.


So. I tried to take a picture of my delicious dinner. I had the spicy sausage rigatoni. The little (he was seriously 14, max) busser came right as I'd busted out my camera, and he looked at me like I was a little crazy. But ZOMG. So. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Seriously. I ate it for breakfast. And I don't eat leftovers. Like, ever. Barry had the chicken and proscuitto (i know I spelled that one wrong...) and then we had the best desert. Chocolate. Creme'. Brulee. Seriously. They combined two of my favorite things. Creme Brulee, and chocolate. Oh man. So. Good. I think next time I'm getting a huge Centro Salad, it has some yummy goat cheese and walnuts, and red onions, and yummmmmy spinach and mixed greens. And a chocolate creme brulee for dinner. That with their focaccia bread? It'll be a full meal.

So I'm covering my sparkles, but they're there. I would like to thank my BFF Carly for the confidence to wear the red lipsitck. And for the how-to on my hair/makeup.



I'm already asking Barry what the next special occasion for Centro will be. So. Yummy! The gala itself was a little bit like an awkward American Idol audition. They had a live band, and the singer sang the most random songs. For instance....Fallin' by Alicia Keys...and Womanizer by my BFF Britney Spears. Random. I was happier when they had CDs playing. IT was fun though to see my friends, and hear some exciting news from one.
