THE REVIEW: URBAN COOKHOUSE
CHIPOTLE BRAISED PORK: HOT CHEDDAR PASTA:
MARINATED SLAW
THE MENU: I ordered the Chipotle Braised Pork and the meat was cooked to perfection!The Pork was accompanied by Hot Cheddar Pasta and Marinated Slaw.The penne pasta styled mac and cheese (hot cheddar pasta) was tasty but I don’t have much to say about the slaw as it did taste quite fresh but was not one of my favorite recipes. I also have to give the “bbq sauce” a less than stellar review… it lacked taste and did nothing for the well seasoned pork. The food was super light and though I felt full I didn’t have that awful "heavy feeling" after a big meal! I also can’t leave out the delicious strawberry lemonade! Homemade and one word ...YUM!
WOOD FIRED SHRIMP KABOBS: ORANGE ROLL: RICE PILAF
THE SERVICE & AMBIANCE: We had no idea what we wanted and as we stared up at the menu board, it was the friendly cashier that asked us if we needed some help and provided us with some great insight on what to try out! She told me about their use of the "big green egg" when I asked about the pork and I was sold!After placing our orders our food was promptly delivered to us! The restaurant showcased a clean and non fussy design and was quite charming, a real reflection of the food.
THE DOWN HOME: SMOKED TURKEY: PINEAPPLE HAM: BROCCOLI SALAD
THE VERDICT: Great service and an interesting concept on fresh and tasty cuisine. I will definitely be visiting again in the near future!

THE REVIEW: TAZIKI'S
THE RESTAURANT: I pass this location (Downtown Birmingham) almost everyday on my way home from work and I finally got the opportunity to try it out! Let me just say that the aroma of amazing food hits your nose before you even exit your car!
THE MENU: A pretty simple menu with a little bit of something for everyone at very reasonable prices!
FRIDAY SPECIAL : CHICKEN PENNE
THE SERVICE & AMBIANCE: The cashier was very knowledgeable about the menu and I was very happy with my choice! My party sat outside on the patio and almost received another tables food a couple of times and the food looked so good we almost accepted! With Fall in the air the patio was perfect for dinner in the city! The restaurants super chic design had me taking decorators notes! (I love the long dinner table) perfect for a celebratory gathering!
CHICKEN AND POTATOES
THE VERDICT: From the amazingly well seasoned/ proportions of food to the friendly wait staff and city chic ambiance TAZIKI'S is definitely a winner in my book! I can't wait to return with more friends!

Isn't she super cute!
SAVINGS BOND & THE BLUE BOXA good friend of mine is expecting to welcome her precious baby girl Nia Simone into this wonderful but cruel world and she invited me to help celebrate with her and her friends and family!
Let me break it down... I feel a lot of certain ways about baby showers and registries and asking people for gifts etc... hint to why I didn't have a house warming... to sum it up, if you are marrying it, birthing it or buying it, you should be able to afford it! Now because I care about you etc... of course I am going to support you... but don't request that I do... that irks me!
It also irks me that people don't offer to support you... I shouldn't have to ask you for a gift or support... you should care enough about me to offer your support... and please don't give me the I don't have any money(well neither do I but I still make sacrifices to support you and there are things you can do that don't involve money) you haven't registered (side eye: really... you call yourself my friend but you can't figure out that a gift card for paint or any home store would pretty much get the job done... I mean me registering is ridiculous... what do I look like putting a 3k sofa on a registry...) okay sorry I got off task ....
I like to give gifts that are positive for the long run... for example the savings bond...eventually this baby will out grow the cute frilly bibs and want to go to college... or buy a car... or get married... now I'm not saying my bond will do all of that... but it's a start... and if all else fails the bunny bank is from Tiff and co... you can always take it to the pawn shop...
Oh yea they calling me "Tee Tee Quin" ...hmmmm

I soooooooo know why you shouldn't idolize a person... you never EVER EVER know how a person got what they got or... if they really have what they have... yeah I had to hit you with my shallow reason first.... sorry for the craziness but I just read something on a blog that blew my mind about a person... It just really baffles me though about the whole "fan" phenomenon... like honestly there was one person that I could have even considered myself a " fan" of ...and of course I later realized that I was a horrible fan... which is besides the point... I finally go to see this person... and honestly... I was sooooooooo disappointed... it was like whatever super image I had bought into was revealed as just that... a super image... now I didn't sit down and talk to the person or anything ... but ... honestly I don't want to... and I am kinda sad that I actually fell into the "fan" thing... now I'm not a hater ... there are a lot of people I think are dope... and do dope things... and all that jazz... but I'm not impressed easily... hell some would say I'm not impressed at all... truth though... if I was impressed ... you wouldn't know...lol... I had to write even though this was not what I had planned... I was just bewildered if you must... You never really know how a person got on... I've always thought of myself as a person who was attracted to the people with no lime light... I'm the person who would end up sitting down next to a person in sweats ... while everyone else is ON the person who has on the shades and impeccably dressed ... only to find out that they hold the umbrella for the person I was sitting next to ... now the downer is I am not good at networking .... so even though we sat in peace for however long... I wouldn't have said a word... not just because I didn't know who they were... but because I don't talk to strangers lol!
I'll run the city, the country, now the world
