Whacky Wednesday

Life got a little busy the past few days. I don't even know if I told you about this process at school to get on one of the 5 law journals? Well, to get onto one of the journals, you have to petition. It's basically writing a huge paper based on about 400 pages of cases and history and research that they give you, that you then turn in and only 40% of the people who turn it in will get onto one of the journals (which is a very prestigious honor, a great experience - each of the journals are publications that come out throughout the year - and each journal has a different topic). So that was due yesterday and I had a major meltdown on Monday thinking I couldn't do it - I had procrastinated too much! But I worked through it and turned it in yesterday. So happy that is over!

To celebrate, I came home and opened a bottle of wine, drank quite a bit with indian takeout, and watched Twilight (since you already know my obsession with the book - which by the way, the movie can't live up to how good the book was). I also am ordering the next 2 books that I haven't read - can't wait to curl up on the couch with a glass of wine and read through them.

So this past weekend we went to Meli to celebrate Ian's mom's birthday. It is affiliated with 2 other restaurants which we happen to love (Mezze and Kalis Court), so we were excited to try it out. I was not that happy with it - it was just kind of, eh. I started with the carpaccio appetizer which I admit, was very good and would totally get again. I then got striped bass over lettuce with tomatoes and some type of potato - the fish was supposed to be grilled but clearly was fried or pan seared, and the fish came out kind of room temperature. The rest of the group got mussels, clams, lamb shank, lobster mac and cheese. Everyone had the same impression - it was just okay. But I did try the baklava and it was delicious! And this place has such potential - it's a great atmosphere! Hopefully since it's new, it'll just get better from here.

Oh - and we tried this new yogurt place called Mr.Yogato in Fells. SO yummy. Ian hated it - but that's because it's true yogurt - not ice cream. It's tangy - almost like greek yogurt - and frozen. I added fruit to it and it was delicious! And even better, it's fat free. It was hot outside when we went - what a perfect way to spend the afternoon - by the water with frozen yogurt in warm weather. Love it! I think we'll be visiting this place again if the weather is nice this weekend - I want to enjoy this no school, no work thing as much as possible!
