Happy 25th Birthday Dan!

As it has been anticipated Brunch is Back. Saturday was Dan's Birthday and I always wanted to bring back brunch so it seemed like a perfect opportunity. I wanted to have something that was decently easy and also something that everyone would enjoy. We ended up w/ having loco moco's. Here was our menu:

• Hamburger Patties (Darren made the meat and it was DELICIOUS!)
• Gravy (Made from Trader Joe's beef concentrate)
• Fried eggs
• Rice
• Stuffed bell peppers wrapped in bacon
• Cream cheese stuffed bell peppers wrapped in bacon
• Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts
  
• Bacon wrapped bread
• Zucchini bread (that mark made)
• Doughnuts (From Byran Harada)
• Girl Scout Cookies (Jun and Michelle)
• Lots of Mimosas
  

It was a lot of fun and I was so happy to see everyone. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I forgot to take pictures of the food but let me tell you, it was ALL GONE. I was surprised b/c we got like a big thing of meat from Costco and made two pots of rice!

After Brunch and drinking all day we made our way to 4th street bowl. I already took a 2 hour nap by the time we left and was actually still in a daze when we got there. But it was a lot of fun. Check out some of the videos we took while there!

Us Dancing!


I need your love!


And the final performance: I'm Down on Bended Knee!



It was a really fun night and I'm sure we'll be back for more 4th street fun!

Darren: Coming out of his Shell

Lately, Darren has been really good about drinking. A couple of times he hasn't had a drop. The main reason is due to the fact that he's trying to lose weight but in our surroundings its a pretty big accomplishment. Social drinking has become a big part of our lives and its sometimes hard to resist the temptation. This past weekend Darren's friend Doug was in town from Slo. It was his excuse to let lose.

The night started and ended in our apartment. Crown shots and Beiruit always seems to be the way we start off. This night Darren and I decided to finish all the left over champagne (3 bottles) that were left at our house from Brunch. He then played a couple games of Beirut and then finished with some crown shots before heading to Koji Sake for a friends birthday party. Needless to say he probably shouldn't have driven, but we risked our lives and made it downtown.

Once at koji the guy was a little rediculous. It took me a good 30-45min to get him out of the bar. And for some reason our car was nominated to go to La Vics... Can you imagine this guy at LaVics..espeically with all the people in that place... Once you watch the video you'll understand what I'm talking about.
