351st New Thing - Ate at 1515 Restaurant

I didn't have time to post the last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Fri 10/5/12).

My fiancé bought a Chase My Offers for $50 worth of food at 1515 Restaurant for $25. So Matt and I went there for dinner last night. 1515 Restaurant is located in the LoDo neighborhood and serves seasonal modern American Cuisine; approachable, fresh flavors with a twist. It is owned by Gene Tang with Executive Chef Christopher Laramie in the kitchen. There is exposed brick, steep staircases, and high ceilings. The upstairs dining room is romantic yet hip. They offer a multi-course tasting menu for 6 ($65) or 8 ($85) courses which looked delicious but we choose regular dinner entrees.

We ordered and shared 2 meals: Bouillabaisse (Lobster, Mussels, Shrimp, Scallop, Dover Sole, Clams, Calamari, Saffron Tomato Broth, Lemon Aioli Crouton, for $32) and Sous Vide Colorado Mountain Meadow Lamb (Potato Rosti, New Season Brussels Sprouts, Hazelnut Puree, Shiraz Port Jus, for $27). Everything was really good and perfect portions. It was a wonderful date night after a long week of work!

361st New Thing - Tried on Wedding Dresses

I didn't have time to post the last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Mon 10/15/12). My friend and I went to David's Bridal last night to try on some wedding dresses. I looked on their website a few months ago to get a feel of the type of dresses I like. There are 6 styles: Classic & Traditional, Chic & Modern, Elegant & Luxurious, Glamorous & Dramatic, Destination, and Reception. I like Classic & Traditional the best. There are 5 silhouettes to choose from: A-Line, Ball Gown, Mermaid/Trumpet, Sheath, and Short. I like A-Line the best. I'm considering straps or strapless. It took about 1.5 hours to try on 5 dresses. I liked 2 of the dresses I tried on, both were under $350. My goal is to find one under $200. Here is one of the 'favorites' that I saw online. It is hard to tell if I would or wouldn't like it on myself. What did you do today?

NOLA - October 2018 PJ's Coffee (5432 Magazine St, New Orleans LA 70115) - Goal was The King Cake Protein Velvet Ice but apparently that was only seasonal around Mardi Gras.

128th New Thing - Went to Garfinkel's

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Sat 2/25/12). Vail got about 12 inches of snow during the week so my friend and I skied at Vail yesterday. I wanted to complete the challenge of skiing all 10 bowls in 1 day since last time I skied 7 of 10 bowls. We started at 8:30am (16th chair) to get a good start. However, since it was windy, Vail closed Blue Sky Basin and the Back Bowls early around 1:30pm! Therefore, funneling everyone to 1 chair lift, Tea Cup Express Lift. We waiting in the lift line from about 1:45-2:45pm thus killing our time to finish our challenge. We only got in 9 of 10 bowls. skied Game Creek Bowl, Sun Down Bowl, Sun Up Bowl, Tea Cup Bowl, Outer Mongolia Bowl, Inner Mongolia Bow, Siberia Bowl, Earl's Bowl, and Pete's Bowl (in that order). Next time I am determined to ski all 10 bowls in 1 day (8:30am-4:00pm). After, standing in the line for an hour, we got cold and didn't even feel like...
