Food, Football and Filming

It was another fun week, even though the 49er's didn't make it all the way to the Super Bowl. I started out with dinner at Blue Nami and a movie with friends at the Palladio. On Friday I met my parents at Leatherby's for lunch and ice cream (the sacrifices we make in order to use a Groupon). On Saturday I headed back to Folsom with friends to use a coupon at Buffalo Wild Wings (my first time there), the boneless wings were the way to go for sure, all the different sauces were amazing too. For dessert we decided on PinkBerry ... fruit makes it healthy, right? On Sunday, after a long run, I headed to Cactus Mexican Dining in Woodbridge for lunch ... a shrimp and crab chimichanga ... with my parents and grandma before watching the 49er/Seahawks game.

On Monday I was in Napa at The Meritage Resort and Spa for a press tour, photo and video shoot. We got some great new shots and video from throughout the property from Crush Ultra Lounge to Blend to the Trinitas Cellars Tasting Room, Spa Terra, the amazing outdoor spaces and lots of great food shots at Siena. The next major event I'm looking forward to attending at the resort is Masters and Makers @ Meritage is coming up on February 14-16. It will be an opportunity to try a lot of different wines from throughout the Napa Valley and hopefully I'll learn a little bit more about wine, food and the Napa Valley.

Snow at Fort Bradley

After a great open house with friends and family at Fort Bradley, a birthday dinner at Zocolo and watching Blind Side , I did not think the day could get much better ... but then it started to snow. Fort Bradley is looking more and more like the Bradley Lodge and is becoming a " Winter Wonderland ." Or maybe it's beginning to look a little more like Christmas .

Celebrating Peanut Butter and Pancake Days, Skiing and Friends

Image
It was a week of varied experiences. I used my Chick-Fil-A Calendar Card for an order of free fries (and also ordered a wrap and ice cream sundae ) while out to dinner with a friend, then joined my parents for the weekend at the Bradley Lodge . My dad and I got a beautiful day of skiing in at Bear Valley ... beautiful since so much snow had fallen. My mom and grandma went all out on dinner and we celebrated Peanut Butter Day with a dessert of Reese's Chips Ahoy Cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Pie (funny part ... we had no idea it was going to be Peanut Butter Day in advance, we just already had those items and it made for a good excuse to eat them). On Sunday I met with with friends at Rolling Hills Christian Church for a night of worship and baptism and then we headed to dinner at Casa Ramos ... my plate of food was giant (I actually brought leftovers home). On Tuesday I found out it was Pancake Day and figured I should celebrate. I made a few pancakes for my room
