Saturday Night

Watched this:

Ate this:

The flick: We both loved this documentary. We were a little worried when in the first minute of the film Farmer John ate dirt from his field and had a lady dancing behind his tractor but that actually had nothing to do with the movie. The farmer is a well spoken, intelligent man who never gave up inspite of daunting odds. Pretty inspiring stuff.

The grub: Portobello Mushroom Burgers with Red Peppers and Gorgonzola...if I may say so myself, amazing. Recipe here.

Beach Date

Shane's cute sister Kristi was in town so she and her best buddy, also named Christi, babysat Sage so off we we went off to Laguna (our love to the Christi's). Shane and I have the same expectations for date night: good food and good conversation in a great setting so this is our usual date:

We park in our favorite parking lot right by Main Beach...it's free after 7 PM. Then we stroll over to Peppertree Lane where La Rue Du Chocolat (best chocolate shop ever) awaits. We recommend the Giant Peanut Butter Cup, Coconut Toasties and the Chocolate Covered Mac Nuts.


Next we walk up and down the beach, find a comfortable spot and get settled in. We chose a lifeguard stand this time around.


And last, we eat our chocolate goodies and talk until we can hardly keep our eyes open.

It's a simple life and I love it.
