Restaurant Week...Summer Style
We only made one reservation for the week...Shanahan's. We had yummy filets and a great evening with Matt & Dana!!
Prior to our evening out, my "sneaky bison" at work got my Monday started off GREAT with a baggie of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups...absolute YUM!!
Restaurant Week has Come to an End
Our final restaurant was Jing in DTC, another new place for us. See the seafood options I was very excited. Enjoyed the Crispy Tuna Roll, but was disappointed in the Parisian Prawns. The final sweet of the week was Toffee Chocolate Mousse Cake...not too bad, but would have been better with some caramel. :)
I did have to post my "Wendy" pic today as well. Panera lunch wasn't anything exciting, so I chose her drink from our "after-training" refreshments.
Sweet, but not Great
Made our way to McCormick & Schmick's for Restaurant Week. This was our first time there and we weren't overly impressed. Other then the food not being spectacular, my martini was in a chipped/cracked glass and both of our desserts came out on dirty plates. After several recommendations, we were a little disappointed.
Dessert
Well, made our way to the second stop on Restaurant Week...Shanahan's. Great steak and yummy dessert. (I did enjoy last night's dessert much better though.)
Busy Day
I started out the day remembering our one and only "Brown Dog"...Bailey. He was our cocker spaniel that we lost three years ago today. With this pre-shave hairdo he could have been a member of One Direction! He had been a part of our family for 14 years...I miss him and think of him often. :(
I spent the majority of the day at the Downtown Aquarium with Discovery Education. They had a Science Techbook training. We got a behind the scenes tour and ton of PD around the Techbook. I was excited to smell salt water and neoprene. Even though this isn't how I like to see my sharks, I prefer up close and personal, it was fun to see them, along with some of my other favorite critters. ;)
And finally, today was the start of the annual Denver Restaurant Week. We have a few locations lined up for the week. Tonight was Zink. I enjoyed Thai Brussel Sprouts, Bulgogi Chicken and a Maple BACON Brownie Cupcake. (I had taken a pic of the sprouts, but the dessert looked much more appetizing.) I was a good girl and brought half of it home. :)
