What's the Story, Wishbone?

Or, how to get back on track with blogging...

As M pointed out last night, we went to go see Julie/Julia. I've been reading her blog religiously while I should be working, also in my mid (low?) level bureaucratic job, wishing for a better life. I found that the portrayal of her in the film was flimsy and not as strong as her blog posts read, but what can ya do? That's Hollywood, right?

Anyway, before the movie J and I went to Wishbone. It's by our new place omg! so that's exciting. M had already visited a few weeks ago and said it was delicious, so I had to check it out for myself. My god, I didn't even realize how hungry I was! I ate everything in sight. I ordered the meatloaf, and I don't even really like meatloaf all that much? But for some reason, I had a bad day or something, I don't know, and I just craved comfort food. It was fantastic. J said meatloaf just tastes like grandma, and I couldn't agree more. I had been so wary of it for so long, meatloaf. My mom would make it all the time when I was younger when my dad was out of town. She even got this godforesaken cookbook, how to cook meatloaf 365 ways or something, so my memories of the stuff were not fond in the slightest. But this stuff was wonderful.

I got to pick two sides, so I chose mashed sweet potatoes and spinach. Spinach I have never eaten before, really, but Julie's been cooking it (I'm currently in Spring of 2003) and I thought it would be nice to try, so I did. I didn't like it, so the waitress brought out some mac and cheese as a replacement. Very good substitute, but on the mushy side... sometimes that happens with mac and cheese.

Bonus points: walked around the Whole Foods that is literally 500 ft from our new place. It is beautiful. Small and jam packed with amazingness. We're going to start eating way better and cooking way more. Hooray!

More blogging in the future. The whole freaking world is going to start food blogging, I'm sure of it.
