I've been eating too much outside. Or so my mother says. She thinks I'm going to eat my way into destitution and won't be able to pay for my med school expenses.
This past Wednesday was a friend's birthday and we went to this American soul food southern comfort cuisine type of place. The decor was really nice with cute miniature salt and pepper shakers (those artistic types where you can probably shake out fifteen flakes and call for a refill) and round glasses holding candles on each table. As a group of twelve, I think we took over a quarter of the restaurant.
I had their Tres Macaroni and Cheese with turkey flavored collard greens and garlic mashed potatoes on the side. A friend got the restaurant's famous Chicken and Waffles dish with maple syrup. Don't knock it. Pieces of fried chicken dipped in maple syrup are oddly yummy.
I could practically feel my arteries clogging with each bite, but it was good. Friend's waffles came with strawberry butter. Gasp. It's like strawberry ice cream since its sweetness just melts in your mouth ... but it's butter. And will melt its way toward your arteries.
Halfway through the meal, friend and I swapped plates. We seem to always do this. He eats my food. I eat his. I think we get tired of working on our original food after a while. Thank goodness. I didn't think I could survive the Mac and Cheese.
Then another friend of mine split a homemade green apple sorbet with me. We nearly swooned.
Said friend with her deep, creative expression: "It tastes like I just bit into a real apple!"
Seriously though. It had pieces of apple peels in it!
Okay, now we just sound dorky.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI know you said you were open to other character pictures, so I thought I'd send you mine (just for the sake of it).
Here are my thoughts for your two main characters!
Adel:
Played by Song Hye Kyo (S. Korean Actress):

do you attend northwestern?
ReplyDeleteOhhh yay! Finally, somebody else that posted up pictures. Now I can compare! =P haha
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Song Hye Kyo [Full House, anyone?] I don't think she would fit the criteria of what Adel is suppose to look like. However, your Tristan on the other hand is a different story. That boy is adorable and gives my Tristan a run for my money! lol Good job finding him, he's a cutie!
I can't wait to see what your other characters look like! =)
To anonymous and girlgamer112: Thanks for the imagess and the comments! I always look forward to more pictures too. :)
ReplyDeleteTo the second anonymous:
Nope, I don't attend Northwestern.
that green apple sorbet was to die for.
