Life is sweet and delicious

This past week I have been dog sitting for my friend Shannon and watching her absolutely adorable dog Wally. He is not only the cutest, but he's also the sweetest. Don't believe me? See for yourself!

Isn't he just to die for?

While staying in the city, I decided to take advantage of some of the great things it has to offer. Recently, my best friend Christen has been on a Yelp.com kick. She yelps everything! It's great because we get to try new places and we have a pretty decent feeling about them going in and we aren't going on a completely blind date, if you will, with each new restaurant. Last week we went to Annabel Lee Tavern. I've been wanting to go there for sometime because it's a Poe themed restaurant and who doesn't love Poe??

The atmosphere of this place was really cool. The railing for the staircase was a tree! I really enjoyed the ambiance. Since it was such an absolutely gorgeous night, we decided to dine outside. We saw a lot of furry four-legged friends walk by which I enjoyed. Service was ok. Our waiter was very curt and not the most attentive. However, our food came quickly and it was presented beautifully.

This was my dish. Swordfish, capers, rice, DELICIOUS!

This was Christen's dish, the Seafood Edgar. So amazing.

I would definitely recommend this place. It was truly derishous. We also ordered sweet potato fries as an appetizer. They were good, but not great. I wanted some ketchup for them but our waiter never came around for me to ask him for any.

So that was last week. This week, we went to an O's game because we love dem O's. Again, it was a beautiful night!

Oriole Park at Camden Yards

 

I love going to games. Camden Yards is such an awesome ballpark. One of my favorite things to do at the game is eat! We bought a bag of peanuts before going in because the prices inside the ballpark are pretty much highway robbery. We bought pizza inside the ballpark and it was amazing. Amazingly bland! What the heck, Birdland?? Anyway, enough about that. I'm over it. Christen and I kept seeing "faces" or rather, "heads" in our peanuts. One in particular looked like Alien from the hit movie "Alien".

This is not that particular peanut, but you can see the resemblance right? Right??

This is Christen's plate of discarded peanut shells. She is a kind and tidy woman.

This is my "plate" of discarded peanut shells. Tisk Tisk.
