This weekend was expensive. But sooooooooo worth it.
Friday the finace and I drove down to South Seattle Community College and officially enrolled him in the baking program. He'll start baking classes in January. Before then he'll take 10 elective credits so he can get the pastry degree, rather than the certificate.
After going to the school, we went to lunch at Boom Noodle. There were so many different kinds of noodle dish to choose from. There were udons, ramens, phad thai, and rice dishes. The fiance and I ordered the pork steam buns, tokyo ramen and spicy beef udon. The steam buns were a "make your own" style, and they were tender and tasty, accompanied by a savory sauce. The fiance got his spicy beef udon and took one bite and said he wanted to trade. I traded before I could taste my tokyo ramen. After I tasted the udon, I knew why he wanted to trade. It had some Indian flavor to the broth, and he's not a huge fan of Indian food. I, however, love it. His (my) ramen was really good too.
Then, we went to Salon Armand. The fiance got his hair trimmed and I got my hair dyed dark brown and trimmed. I love the service at Salon Armand. There's always tea and water and chocolate. The atmosphere is lovely and inviting. I drive down from Bellingham for the excellent service.
After our hair cuts, we went to Sun-Ya for a delicious Chinese dinner. We got the C dinner. It included Mongolian beef, chicken lo mein, chow mein, pot stickers, BBQ beef and fried rice. There was an incredible amount of food. It came out one dish at a time, but the first dish came so quickly. The service was excellent. When I live in Seattle, it will be a regular place. The fiance's family treated us, which was lovely. They told us that Sun-Ya is known for their dim sum, so at some point, I want to try that.
Then, we passed out after not winning the lotto.
We got up at 9:30 on Saturday. We got ready and left for ComiCon around 10. It took forever to get parking, but once we did, we were only two blocks from the convention center. We met up with our roommate, her boyfriend and his brother. We set out to see our favorite artists! Now, I don't remember which order this all went in, but I think I saw everyone I wanted to: Jeph Jaques from Questionable Content, Randy Milholland from Something Positive, Danielle Corsetto from Girls With Slingshots, David Willis from Shortpacked, Jam from Wasted Talent, Aaron Diaz from Dresden Codak, Dylan Meconis from Family Man, Zach Weiner from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal,
I also bought art from AKrobotics and Least I Could Do.
After running around the center hauling what felt like 30lbs of art, we went to the Warehouse 13 panel with Eddie McClintock, who was HILARIOUS. No spoilers though.
After ECCC, had a quick lunch at PF Chang's (new lunch menu!) and I got some lotion at Lush. Then, we went back to the fiance's dad's house for a delicious dinner of porkchops and artichokes. Then, we went to see The Hunger Games.
It was a really well done movie, but they didn't leave enough time to build the relationships between characters. I'm no movie critic, but I thought the adaptation was good.
Then we went home and passed out.
Today, we got up went for lunch at Olive Garden and met up with the fiance's mom. We chatted for a while and then went to see his Grandma. Then, we drove back to the 'Ham. We had dinner at the Copper Hog, and now we're just chillin'. It was a VERY busy weekend.
Next weekend will be much less busy.
