The weekend RECAP

As promised, I'll review the weekend with J's mom visiting.

On Friday, we drove to campus and ran into the bookstore, where I picked up a nice little gift for a certain friend in Minnesota. Then, we went grocery shopping because I was too lazy to do so before she arrived.

That evening we ate at Bella Notte, a Lexington favorite. I had chicken picatta, J had a wood-fired sirloin, and J's mom had ravioli with tomato basil cream and tomato meat sauce. The spicy tomato soup is absolutely wonderful. Not only did we have great food & service, but they offered us a free dessert because J's steak took a little long. So we shared a slice of cheesecake and a tiramisu. Heaven.

On Saturday, we tried to go to the flea market. Whoops. Couldn't find it. Next time, I'll call the phone number first to get the details. We stopped by the small Farmer's Market where we picked up some delicious blueberries and then to Fresh Market (are you noticing a food theme for the weekend?). J's mom bought us these beautiful flowers:

J had enough quality time together, so we dropped him off and headed to a few shopping spots - Steinmart & Michael's. We of course had to stop by Liquor Barn on the way home. Saturday evening, we snacked around and enjoyed pomegranate martinis and wildberry fruity drink thingys.

Sunday, we had brunch at Doodles. Mmmmm! One of my favorite places to go with my KY girlfriends. Dirty shrimp & grits, meat omelet, cajun omelet, and warm beignets. YUM! We had to wait a bit, but they were super busy. The food was worth it though.

J's mom headed home shortly after. :( It was a nice relaxing weekend!
