WWID: Weekend, What I Did

Hello all!

               I had a fantastic weekend! The Husbunny and I tried out a different Chinese restaurant in our 'hood, as we are notorious for going tot he same places over and over.  This place was called Minh Ky, and it was amazing!

I had the sweet and sour shrimp, and Husbunny had the combination seafood noodle soup and Peking duck.  Each dish was HUUUUGE and priced under $10 each.  Not too shabby!  The staff was super nice and they seemed to be family owned and operated establishment.  Everyone was super friendly, but you kind of have to be in a place so small.  There were only about 10-15 tables, but every chair had a butt in it.  I wasn't a big fan of his soup, it was a little too fishy for me.  Husbunny has loved living in the Little Saigon area of town and getting to know all the different foods and tastes that surrounds us.  He is a big supporter of fishcakes,  me- not so much.  I am an ova-pescatarian for health reasons, so we eat a lot of fish and eggs with our vegeta-meals.  He loves the chance to be able to eat something that walks or runs, ahahha!

     Sunday I met up with my friend David, who had texted me about the Greek Fair happening down the street from his house.  I was excited to try out a thrifted dress I hadn't had the opportunity to wear yet. (I am making an effort to be more girly).  I parked on Park (hahah) and walked the rest of the way there with David.

     In my n00b status of blogger-dom, I neglected to take photos of everything I saw!  The fair was in the parking lot of a Greek Orthodox church and they had the hole place carpeted with this sky blue AstroTurf.  It was both blinding and amazing all at the same time.

     David's fair-going procedures start with locating the nearest beer garden and making a plan from there.  We stood drinking our dark drafts in flimsy wee little cups (why do they do this to us at events?  Don't they know they are creating the perfect storm of me wearing half of my beer?)  and scoped out what our food options were.

I was hoping for some shrimp skewers and tabouli salad.   No dice.  We settled on spanikopita.  Oh man, it was so fresh and you could taste they made it with fresh spinach.  We were silent as we sat together at the table letting the buttery, flaky crust fall apart in our mouths.  This was real life food porn.  It was seriously good.

No, I am not wearing
white tights.
*SIGH*

     I had a moment of clarity about half way through that I should probably take a picture of this.  Sorry guys, you get a half eaten/ in process of being eaten picture of the gloriousness we shoveled into our faces that day.

And last but not least is the dress I had worn for the day.  It was a little strapless number I had thrifted.  I had David take the photo for me, but he forgot to add the shoes.  It's ok.  They were just grey converse.  No big whoop.  Me and heels have a love/hate relationship.  I love them.  They hate me.  So I usually wear flats.

Please excuse the goofy pose, the man made me take 3 or 4 shots before he was happy.  It was just a camera phone.  I did my hair all purdy like and everything.  I had a great time.

I don't know if this will be a weekly post, but I loved the WWID: Weekend, what I did, header.  It made me chuckle.
