In celebration of a recent onslaught of birthdays in our wine club, we ventured to downtown Portsmouth, Va. for a fun dinner. Our original restaurant choice seemed to have shuttered its doors, so we had to quickly find a replacement. Lauren suggested Still Wordly Eclectic Tapas, a speakeasy-inspired tapas restaurant located in the basement of a building on Court Street.
Considering it wasn't our first choice, Still absolutely blew us away. Their drink menu featured all those classic cocktails you never see on menus: Sidecars, Old-Fashioneds and more. I ordered a Moscow Mule which was refreshing and tart and minty deliciousness. A Moscow Mule is made with vodka, ginger beer, lime juice and sometimes, mint. It was fabulous!
We ordered a bunch of random items, all of which were delicious. Forgive the horrible flash lighting! These are the pork and ginger potstickers, with spaghetti squash. They were SO GOOD.
Banana fritters with caramel sauce.
Pumpkin ginger spice cake with coffee ice cream.
Crab cake!
Bacon-wrapped tater tots with chili ketchup. Also super good.
All of us ladies! The birthday girls sweetly received mini Astis from Miranda.
I can't recommend Still enough; we really enjoyed it and the atmosphere was great, too.

Maynard James Keenan from the fabulous rock bands Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. He grows grapes and makes wine in Arizona. They said it couldn't be done, they said it shouldn't be done, but his wines are excellent and he has a great perspective on the business. Our guest taster is John Liu, CEO and founder of the glorious legalzoom.com and fooddigger.com. He also knows his stuff, while I am just a jerk.
I'm back from sunny San Francisco! Our honeymoon was wonderful, both busy and relaxed. We stuffed our faces with delicious food, walked until we had blisters and caught up on any sleep we may have missed during our hectic wedding week.
I'm going to do three recaps this week: one for food, one for sights and one for souvenirs. It will probably be 2-3 weeks before I have professional wedding pictures to show you, so hold tight for wedding recaps. I can't wait to write them, but I think it'll be good to get a little distance. In the meantime, I'm going to relish the last little glowing embers of my time off before I go back to the grind on Monday!

TitleEminem - My Darling [Deep Voices Back to Normal] (GOT TO LISTEN!!!) Freekey
I'm feeling lost,
I'm feeling like my heart's
been carved out with a spoon
put on display for all to witness this decay of me and you
Awaking and taking the cycle of breaking up
to a whole new level
Shaking and faking like you're making a hard choice not to settle
Imbedded, I'm think headed
I shredded all the letters you sent
Don't get it. why'd you let it get this far
lights out lights out Pass the herb
lights out lights out kiss the curb
lights out lights out your heart has turned
Who's going to save me every time I crash and Burn
and I crash and burn
I'm sick of endings
I'm done pretending
I just want you back to normal
I think you don't know just how you feel
And every time you think of me
Remember how things used to be not long ago
Whoa-oh
Ill fated,I skated,
to the party faded,and I saw you there
I waited, hated, getting ignored
you stated you didn't care
Flashes of car crashed and
your ashes burning the cement
The curtain fails, last call, credits roll
we have reached the end
lights out lights out Pass the herb
lights out lights out kiss the curb
lights out lights out your heart has turned
Who's going to save you every time you crash and Burn
crash and burn
I'm sick of endings
I'm done pretending
I just want you back to normal
I think you don't know just how you feel
And every time you think of me
Remember how things used to be not long ago
Sick of endings
I'm done pretending
Tired of fighting
I'm sick of always trying
I'm feeling lost,
I'm feeling like my heart's
been carved out with a spoon
put on display for all to witness this decay of me and you
I just want you back to normal
I think you don't know just how you feel
And every time you think of me
Remember how things used to be not long ago
Who-ah
lights out lights out Pass the herb
lights out lights out kiss the curb
lights out lights out your heart has turned
Who's going to save me every time I crash and Burn
I crash and burn
I crash and burn
Will... Will Make Friday Nights The New Hot Night To Get Married in Newport? The Royal wedding will take place on Friday, April 29, 2011, according to the British Monarchy Twitter. It will take place at Westminster Abbey, the venue for the 1947 wedding of the then Princess Elizabeth, William's grandmother the Queen.
{this isn't my tire} This past Saturday, the most unexpected thing happened to my tire. It blew. On my way home from Einstein bagels (delicious), by myself. I drove (slowly) the remaining .5 mile back to FMIL's house, where Mr. SE came to my rescue. He was out golfing with a friend, but finished up quick and did the most hunky hunky thing. He changed my tire! Maybe it's not that big of a deal to you, but I think it's super cool to see that my man can do such a thing.
So with the spare intact, off we drove to Costco. (thank you Dad for getting my tires here so I didn't have to pay full price). There went a large chunk of my beautiful Saturday.
*In response to some less-than-favorable comments, I'd like to add that I read the manual and do know how to change a tire. But for the life of me, couldn't get the lug nuts loose on my blown wheel. I didn't assume that I was a sexy damsel in distress, and it was 2pm when I waited for Mr. SE, in the cul de sac of his neighborhood*
is the black accented bridal gown recently showcased on a Good Morning America segment with Brides editor Millie Bratten. This one shoulder, silk satin, tulip front, fishtail gown has a lovely bow detail at shoulder and hip and has black accents inside the bows, on the beaded waistband and lining. This dress is finished with button detail which continues to the hem of the puddle train.

Buying a diamond ring is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make, so get the most bling for your buck.
To complete this How-To you will need:
Input from the bride and loved ones Knowledge of the four C's: carat, color, clarity, and cut A grading report Negotiating skills Membership in a warehouse store
Step 1: Suss out her taste
Casually comment on someone else's engagement ring; that should prompt her to describe what she likes. Or ask her loved ones for advice.
Step 2: Consider her personality
Take into account her personality and the jewelry she already owns. Does she like modern jewelry, or does she prefer antique and estate pieces? Does she like showy baubles or simple stuff? Is she a traditionalist, or does she strive to be unique?
Step 3: Pick a shape
Pick a shape. Choices include round, square, radiant, emerald, pear, marquise, princess, cushion, Asscher, and heart-shaped. The princess and radiant cuts are more forgiving of flaws than the emerald and the Asscher.
Tip: Beware of buying shapes other than round ones online. Many, like pear and marquise, are prone to certain cutting flaws that are obvious to the naked eye but not necessarily evident from the information contained in the grading report provided by the seller.
Step 4: Think about carat size
Think about the size of the diamond you wantor, more to the point, the size she finds acceptable! Diamonds are measured in carats, one carat being about the size of a green pea.
Step 5: Consider color
Consider color. Color is graded from D (colorless) to Z, with colorless being the most valuable. Diamonds graded N and below are noticeably yellow.
Step 6: Decide on clarity
Decide on the level of clarity you are willing to pay for. The choices range from FL (flawless) to I3 (included). Almost all diamonds have flaws, or inclusions; the trick is to find one whose flaws are least visible to the naked eye.
Step 7: Choose your cut
"Cut" refers to the reflective quality of the diamond. Cut grades range from "ideal," assigned to diamonds that reflect the most light, to "fair and poor," for diamonds that reflect only a small proportion of light.
Tip: The cut is perhaps the most important of the four Cs. A good cut, which is determined by the angles and finish, is what gives a diamond its brilliance.
Choose which metal you want for the band. Platinum is the most expensive but also the most popular because of its durability. Other choices include white gold, yellow gold, titanium, and palladium.
Tip: White gold needs to be replated every few years to retain its polish.
Step 10: Get a grading report
Before buying a ring, ask the jeweler for the grading reporta certificate filed by an independent gemological lab that confirms the carats, color, clarity, and cut. If the jeweler says he can't or won't get one, walk away.
Tip: Do some comparison shopping. Sometimes a warehouse store can offer the same quality jewelry as a retail shop, at deep discounts.
Step 11: Haggle
Don't be afraid to haggle: You're expected to negotiate when buying an engagement ring. Most jewelry stores mark up their diamonds by a whopping 100 percent, so there's plenty of wiggle roomespecially if the salesperson's choice is between a small commission and none at all.

So remember when I said I'm not a breakfast person?
I seem to be in active defiance of that lately, because last night, I decided to make breakfast for dinner!
I'm not so great with pancakes, so I decided to take the easy route and use Bisquick, as shown above.
Sean wanted plain pancakes, but I wasn't about to let that happen. I made a batch of chocolate chip pancakes for him, and then added banana to mine!
Man....mushed banana is so hideous. But delicious! Just add mushed banana (more than one, in my opinion; the banana taste was way too subtle) and stir it in with the rest of the batter.
My pancakes aren't pretty, at all, but they were tasty!
Then I fried up some frozen home fries (are you sensing a pattern? Nothing was from scratch!).
And finally, we had some chicken-apple sausage (which was really just okay).
It was so good and I was SO stuffed. Lesson learned: There is such a thing as too many pancakes!

I am in LOVE with J.Lingnau's jewelry. Whimsical, but simple, with great craftsmanship.
I like that her work is symbolic, but not too cute. Really gorgeous. The top necklace costs more than $1000 (eek!) but the bottom necklace of crossed fingers costs a more manageable $339.
