I'm rediscovering a lost passion of mine in cooking lately and tonight I put together a sweet and delicious menu for Sydney and Tena. Italian Baked Salmon, Fresh Green Beans with Almonds in a Dijon Sauce and Mashed Potatoes was the dish and boy was it tasty. I had never eaten Salmon, let alone cook it, but the ladies said I did a fantastic job. Yeah for me.

I love making food for people. It's so fun to whip up a dinner party and just hang out on a beautiful Sunday evening. Today it went up to 83 degrees and I spent the majority of it indoors, so relaxing on the balcony was a great way to cap off a pretty good meal and weekend.

Er, I think I neglected to talk about last night. So yeah, I wasn't going to do anything since today I had a full agenda. Sydney and I went to see The Hills Have Eyes and then hit the gym for a couple hours today, so the plan was to just meet up with Eric for one drink and possibly some food around 10 PM last night. So, I wandered over the Firehouse bar a little before and decided to grab a special since I was only having 1 drink (maybe 2) and plopped down $4 for a pint of Long Island Ice Tea.

Well, 1 turned into 2 turned into 4, soon enough I had found myself at another bar watching this crazy punk band The Decrepits and getting a little punch drunk. After the bars closed down, a couple of folks from Columbia and some other locals decided to bring a keg back to my place and we partied until the sun came up. I'm impressed that even with my wicked hangover today, I managed to still go out and accomplish what I needed to. And I cooked a fucking amazing dinner.
