I’m a Lucky Girl July 20, 2008

My birthday was on Thursday, and last night Dandall treated me to a nice dinner, AND tickets to the Coldplay concert!

We ate at Strip Steak, and oh my God… my intestines are still hurting today from all of the rich food.  It was worth every bit of it though.  We started off with Lobster wrapped in bacon, then fried in a light batter, topped with cream, a squirt of lime, then wrapped in lettuce.  We were also treated to a trio of differently seasoned french fries… all fried in duck fat.  For dinner, it was creamed corn with jalapenos, potato and shallot cakes, and the best meat I steak I have ever sunk my teeth into… a Kobe beef rib cap.  I had never heard of a rib cap, but apparently, it is the cut of meat right below the fat, and right before the rib eye cut.  Oh my God… I was seeing stars.  Then, when Dandall told me they marinate their meat for 24 hours in hot oil, I knew I would probably be seeing stars all the way to the bathroom later that night.  And, I did.  And, it was worth it.   NOT a meal to be eaten every day though.  NO way…

Oh, and let me not forget dessert… homemade donuts with three dipping sauces… butterscotch, Carmel ice cream, and jasmine infused chocolate.  The angels were singing when I put one in my mouth…

The Coldplay concert was one of the best I have ever been to.  I just love it when the lead singer actually sounds better in person than recorded, and he did!  Not a very common site… at least these days.  They were awesome performers, and even went all the way up to the cheap seats, plunked down, and sang a couple of songs up there!  I have never seen anything like that!  If you ever get a chance to go see them… GO!
