good weekend
on Friday, Michael and I went out to Elephant Walk in Cambridge, to celebrate our two-year anniversary. It was a really nice place, and we didn't have trouble getting there (just by the Porter T stop). Anyway, the food was really excellent, and reasonably priced as well! We each got the "Summer Tasting" special for $20, which gives you four courses (soup or appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert) from a certain menu. I got Bisque de Homard (lobster bisque), Salade Cambodgienne (salad with shredded cabbage, onions, peanuts) Poulet a la Citronelle (was kind of like curried chicken), and a chocolate truffle cake (one word: YUM). Michael got a chicken soup, grilled beef salad, rice noodles & chicken, and a chocolate truffle cake. Both of us enjoyed our meals a lot...especially the dessert!! I think the dessert was the best part..the chocolate was amazing, and plus it had chunks of delicious white chocolate in it, and was covered in this really tasty raspberry sauce. Probably one of the best desserts I've ever had!! Anyway, I was so happy to find a restaurant where I have a wide selection (a lot of places put flour in everything, which really limits my choices). I'm definitely coming back here again!!
on Saturday, Michael and I went with others from SP to Singing Beach (off the Manchester-by-the-Sea commuter rail stop). It was kind of hectic right before we left (we had to get all our stuff together and meet by 11:00am), but we managed on time. We got to the beach around 1pm, and the weather was perfect (it was HOT!). We went in the water right away, and it was freezing (but not too cold to swim in). We had a great time crashing into the waves (we had to be careful to not let the waves knock us over). After we had enough, Michael & I had a picnic (i had prepared this tasty pasta salad ) for our lunch. After that we walked along the beach and took a lot of pictures (see below!)
.
After that we just sat in the sun and lazed around until about 5pm, when we had to leave. The way back was kind of annoying (the commuter rail car didn't have air conditioning, as neither did any of the T cars we rode in). However, the trip overall was really great--neither of us had gone to the beach this summer.
on Sunday (yesterday) we saw Napoleon Dynamite at Fenway. We were rushing like crazy to get there (we left late, and we had to take a bus + T to get there, plus some walking), but we managed to get there exactly on time. Anyway, the movie was HILARIOUS, i would strongly suggest anybody (especially if you're A MIT student) to go and see it. I think that if you were ever a geek in elementary/junior high/high school, you will find this movie very funny. The others in the theatre thought it was really good too (most ppls were in their 20s) and probably identified with a lot of stuff in the movie (i.e. the characters' totally tacky '80s clothing)
