Hopefully I will update about our Thanksgiving eats, but first I want to write a little recap of all the ridiculously AMAZING food I had in Alexandria and Baltimore this weekend. Eating out is my favorite thing (way more than cooking, I have to admit) and boy, did I do a lot of it!
ALEXANDRIA
Sean, my future sister-in-law Katie, her friend Diane and I all went to Cafe Salsa Grill, a "nuevo latino" restaurant with lots of Cuban and Puerto Rican goodies on the menu. I ordered an appetizer of empanadas, which came with a trio, stuffed with seasoned ground beef, marinated chicken and cheese, and spinach and cheese.
They were delicious, especially the chicken, but three wasn't going to fill me up by any stretch of the imagination. So Diane very graciously offered me half of her sandwich, the Pollo el Aioli, which had shredded chicken, cheese, roasted tomatoes, red onions and avocado piled on a grilled French baguette. It was as good as that sounds.
BALTIMORE
On Saturday night, Sean and I went to meet Arthur (his Best Man) and two of his college friends in downtown Baltimore. I had never been to the city before, but I was impressed by the nicer parts of town and gleefully identified spots from "The Wire" in some of the not-as-nice areas we passed.
Arthur took us to Fell's Point (pictured above), a historic area with plenty of great restaurants, bars and shops. We had dinner at Kooper's Tavern, which specializes in glorious, glorious burgers. The tavern even owns a burger truck that travels around the city, making gourmet burgers on the spot.
I had the "Elvis Got the Blues" 1/2 pound Angus burger, with Maytag blue cheese and apple-smoked bacon WITH a side of sweet potato fries AND a Franziskaner Hefe Weiss beer. It was so delicious across the board. I ate every last bite of that burger and ended up splitting my beer with Arthur because I was s-t-u-f-f-e-d. Everyone spent the entire meal oohing and aahing over their burgers.
Later, we stopped into Bertha's Restaurant and Bar, famous for its green "Eat Berthas Mussels" bumper stickers, for a cream ale for Arthur. It's a tight squeeze, so we ended up leaving pretty quickly, but it seemed like a great bar for a small party.
Finally, we crossed the street from Bertha's to get gelato at Pitango Gelato, a very chic, Eames chair-filled gelateria. I got mojito sorbet, which tasted basically exactly like a frozen mojito and wowed everyone at my table. I paired it with white grapefruit sorbet, which was good, but surprisingly peppery, if that makes sense.
All in all, I was very impressed with Baltimore's food offerings and I heartily recommend a night there to all of you.
Who doesn't love Footloose? I mean, really... Thanks to my incredibly lovely (and newly married!) friend Cat, I came across The Tie Bar. This website has jillions upon jillions of fantastic ties. They're all reasonably priced ($15) and there are so many colors and styles to choose from.
Mr. SE is quite a fashionista, and I want to make sure all of our guys are looking super fly on the big day. Here's what we're thinking: black tuxes, white shirts, and a colored tie. Vets? I don't know. We'll have to try them on at the store. As for ties, I'm totally in love with paisley patterns! They successfully incorporate the formal, but fun vision for our wedding. Here's some of my favorites! What are your thoughts? As usual- I love hearing your opinions!

My husband, who manages to survive living with a scorpio Latina, who cheerfully doesn't ask questions when I don't feel like cooking, who cleans the dishes even when he didn't get to eat whatever I cooked, who cleans his bathroom more than I clean mine, who will drive an hour with me to pick up an antique chair off Craigslist, then kill time driving around neighborhoods, fantasizing about our future dream house.
My family, who truly rose to the occasion for our wedding and made me proud to call them mine. I might be biased, but I think my parents and grandparents are just the best. They dance, they sing, they laugh at my jokes, they make funny jokes, and we can talk about anything from "Peanuts" to the cap-and-trade legislation.
My friends, who overwhelm me with their love. I recently turned 26 and if there is one wonderful thing that comes with each year, it's further acceptance of who I am, what makes me unique, what my faults are and where my strengths lie. I couldn't do that without friends who challenge me, accept me and help me be my best me.
You faithful folks who read my ramblings on this old blog of mine.
Cheese. Seriously. It ranks in my top 5 things I'm thankful for.
Health.
A job that challenges me, interests me and keeps me in the loop.
My relationship with the little girl I mentor, and how much more confident she's made me around children. Maybe I'd actually be a good mom someday?
The Internet. Srsly. The ability to have access to everything is just beyond.
The freedom to do what I want, say what I want, go where I want and be whoever I want. It's a wonderful gift and I try not to take it for granted.
What are you thankful for this year? My list is pretty darn corny, but it's true. I'm spending Thanksgiving with my new in-laws and I've deemed myself the macaroni-and-cheese maker. I'm pretty excited about it.

Lyrics
thanks giving day we say what we are thankful for
like puppies hugs and kisses
and our families of course
but there's some things that don't make it on our list
that are slight inappropriate
and it goes something like this
Im thankful for megan fox
for being really hot
never made love to a toe thumb
but for her id give it a shot
Im thankful for infrared towel dispensers
its what life is all about
i will wave my hand in front of it
till all the towels have run out
Im thankful for beer and insecure women
that combination gets you laid
And sandwiches i do adore
without them what else are women good for
these are the things i'm thankful for
but most of all....i'm thankful for porn
Im thankful for prolonged dumps
its where i get my thinking done
who says you can look cool while poo
so i put my stunna shades on
Im thankful women who trim the hedges
not talking on your lawn
for if i go downtown and i cant find it
then baby you know i'm gone
Remember when i said
i was thankful for beer
well beer beer ba beer beer beer
I love beer (i love you beer)
these are the things im thankful for
but most of all....imm thankful for porn

Title:RE: Thank You! (Weirdest Thankful List Ever lol)
Video Response to:

I had just filmed a clip for LGBT community rights support video, and I didn't bother with erasing NO H8 from my face lol So there, I'm not afraid to film a video response with sharpie on my face. ;) Oh yeah.
Also, I don't have a regular family or life by any stretch of the imagination, so the things I am thankful for are different and weird. Don't judge me. lol Yeah, just so you don't think I'm an asshole for mentioning inanimate objects more than people.
