Nibbs XXVII (Page 64)

Very busy!  Wanted to get together with Kendra this weekend, but I had some prior commitments.  Had volunteer work Friday night, volunteered at the CAC Saturday morning (spanish interviewer for Armful of Love) with my wife, date with my wife last night, church this morning, then friends from Mankato over for soup and rolls tonight.  Whew!  Gonna give Kendra a call and see if she's still in town tomorrow...

Kuba Kuba is in the Fan (Lombardi and Park) and Havanna 59 is in Shockoe Bottom (17th and Main).

Kuba Kuba is nice because they have some kinds of normal food, but then more adventurous things, too. 

Wow!!! Thats a bit exhausting!!! Date night sounds like fun though

Oh I 100% understand... but the freezer at home is sooo tiny and my flattie - well he just isnt interested in food beyond eating ridiculous amounts of it. So if I want to know whats in my food I have to take responsibility... 

Some things are easy - I buy pre cooked smokd chicken breasts which I just chop up and throw on a salad with a boiled egg, scrambled eggs on toast, diced pork coated in flour and cooked in the pan, home made pizza (flat bread, tomato pastes, mushrooms etc and a bit of cheese cook in about 10 minutes) and corn fritters...

But I know if I dont find some variety Im gonna be bored FAST which = eating crap! 

I'm liking Bleu, fwiw

ME too... everytime I see it I think pearly, blue, ice, lightening type of thing.... 

Im sure after riding it a bit the name will just kind of come to you... 

Ooh...that would be a good plan! They even have brunch until 5 on Saturdays.

I think I'm doing the 8k instead of the half. My knee still hurts and I have a cold. Plus, I don't feel like running 13 miles. Is that bad?

I like Bleu better. Saphira makes me think of the Eragon books.  Could modify Bleu a bit...Bluebell?

what's Rummikub?

I'm back!  But gotta take off again to make some phone calls (youth group)... 

Played with tiles you set up in a series of at least 3, i.e., 8, 9, 10 or 3, 3, 3.  Can't start play until you have sets of tiles that add up to 30, i.e. 9, 10, 11 or a combination of a set of tiles, i.e. 1, 2, 3 and 8, 8, 8.

Maybe this link explains it better... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rummikub

oh my!

that looks complicated :/

Done making calls...

It's a game we've kind of adopted.  When my mom was alive and the kids were younger, my mother LOVED to play the game (she passed away from breast cancer about 4 years ago).  My mom was pretty sharp and always beat us.  My wife and kids and I got to the point where it was our goal to beat 'Lola' (Tagalog for grandma) whenever we visited.  We eventually got to the point where we could beat her occasionally.  My youngest son is a math wiz.  Either that or she let us win!

Very fond memories and something our kids will always remember.

Way to go!!!
