Si!

So to add a little detail to the night that included Owen Wilson… Jen was a little down that evening because she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life so I wanted to get her out of the house to cheer her up. We were going to take a holiday window display walking tour but it was very cold and I left the map at home on the table, ha! So unlike me (sarcasm). We stalked Owen for a few minutes around the tree and then unsuccessfully tried to hail a cab to Hell’s Kitchen for dinner. We ended up walking to a Mexican place in midtown that was warm and cozy. We shared some apps, coffee and dessert. I asked for some amaretto sauce to go with our dessert and was brought what looked like a bowl of strawberry sauce. I asked if it was the amaretto sauce and was told “Si!” It was strawberries. They spoke very little English and meant well so it didn’t really warrant an awful Yelp review. Jen was also lucky enough to oversee some porn being shared on a cell phone at our neighboring table.




The best I could do (discretely) in low lighting



Actor/Comedian David Allen Grier



Saturday night at work I had yet another celebrity encounter, though this time there was actual interaction. David Allen Grier (pics) sat down at our “service only” bar upstairs to order a drink. I was about to ask him to have a seat at a table when I realized he was a VIP that our manager probably sent up to escape the crowds downstairs. I made him a dirty Grey Goose martini! Ok, four.



Today we got to have brunch with our wonderful neighbors at Communitea after church and then ran some errands. We also hit up the Holiday Market in Union Square and saw some cool stuff. Jen made Chicken Saltimbocca and Pumpkin Risotto for dinner and it was amazing! Then she almost burned the house down when she turned the wrong burner on to make some tea. The burner had a plastic container full of cookies on it. I tried coaching her from the couch but she just stood there saying it was burning like a cigarette as the room filled with smoke and the scent of burning plastic. She said she didn’t want to run it under water and ruin the cookies.
