Tonight: Achachay! at Dizzy Rooster 8-10pm. I’ve been to this frat-tastic bar only a few times, but all of those times included me dancing on a bar … sober.

Frozen Yogurt is the New Cupcake
It’s bad. It’s the new trend. And I’m totally on the bandwagon.

Excuse the iphone quality, but how good does that plate look?? That’s some eggplant something (thin slices of eggplant wrapped around polenta in a marinara sauce with cheese), ratatouille (yum!!), and pear-walnut salad. Lovin’ it.
