Carpe Diem: This week's highlights

It's definitely been a long stressful week, so it was deserving of me to have a drink at dinner. I'm not usually the one to say that I need or want a drink after work, but this week definitely calls for one.

Drinking some dark German beer at Shroeder's tonight. TGFreakingIF!

I breezed through the first two books of the trilogy, but for so some reason, I'm not as drawn to it as I was with the first two book. This is the darkest and saddest of the three. I'm a little more than half way done. Perhap's I'll be done by the weekend...I hope it's the ending I want it to be. For those who haven't started, I would highly recommend reading the series. So in love.

Carnita's plate from El Burrito Express 2. I never crave Mexican food and especially getting food poisoning from this very restaurant a couple of years ago, I've been hesitant in eating burritos. But lately, when my coworker chows down to this particular dish, it makes me salivate and have a plate of my own. Thursday was the day, when I decided to get a plate of my own. It was freaking delicious and filling. I only finished half of this during lunch and snacked on it throughout the day, so yes you can definitely share this between two people. Oh and when you check in on yelp, you get a free churro. Yummo!

Driving through downtown traffic during rush hour to pick up the boo to head down to the south bay for our first day of class. Wish us luck!

To reward ourselves, we head to Orenchi Ramen for a late second dinner. Love their yolky boiled egg, broth, ramen noodles and chicken karage. I've always loved the fact that all their waiters/waitresses speak Japanese. It gives it a more authentic feel to the restaurant. We'll definitely be able to frequent this place more now that class is only 10 minutes away! What a great treat!
