Dinner at Ipanema

On Saturday night, my friend lauren came to hang out after she got off of work, but my msg induced coma prohibited us from making any real memories. i was given a raincheck for dinner the following evening in a tight window of time, between lauren getting off of work and then having to buckle down to finish a presentation for class.

also, my good friend bonnie had been out of town checking out a school with her boyfriend in pennsylvania. so the three of us decided to share a meal and lauren suggested ipanema. ipanema was always a favorite of mine, however, all that comes to mind is a hummus sandwich they served. although they have a more expansive menu, i was not in the mood for hummus, therefore, tried tirelessly to suggest other options. lauren and bonnie had a problem with every suggestion i made and then the few they agreed with were not open on a sunday night. while we decided, i had a sweet photo shoot with lauren's dog, dollie madison.


so ipanema it was. we ran into some friends as we entered, and what do you think they were eating? hummus sandwich, that's right.



we checked out the menu, made our selections and sat in a corner booth. i ordered a chick pea crepe thing and bonnie got some gouda sandwich and lauren had rockfish. obviously, i don't care as much about what we eat as the whole process, so let's not focus on that.



it was nice to catch up with my ladies over a bottle of wine and much shit talking. actually, it wasn't shit talking, it was more future plans talking.


and with much prefacing, i told them about a "career" i've been thinking of. i don't even want to mention it on here, but i am so not interested in being responsible and having a career and being a real adult. they thought i was silly for being so hesitant.

we all tried to look really displeased and bored in our pictures. it's really hard for me to keep a straight face.

Holy crap, I didn't know you had this blog. Just found it via Almitra's. Totally cute idea. And this particular entry hits the nail on the head. Why is it that every time people disagree about where to eat, you always end up at Ipanema? I have no idea, but I'm happy with the vegan caesar salad any day.
