a Fun Nite

Tim and I decided to 'escape' from our lil world and travel to Universal Studios for the nite last friday...

ahhhh...i love little surprise getaways that require you to hurry and pack..and hope ta-god you've remembered your toothbrush!

Even tho he had to work a wee little bit.. (does this look like 'work'??? pfftt.. i wish i had it so easy!)

We got to wander around Universal walk..and get caught up in all of the excitement and entertainment going on!

The first entertaining bit we caught..were these exceptionally TALL girls on stilts.. wearing just the neatest outfits!! (I love stripes..and think i need to make this my Halloween outfit for this year!)

ahhh to be tall and skinny...

another halloween costumer i MUST have.. my black matrix-cat outfit..

Then THIS guy.. reminds me of the Plague Doctor..

Breakfast in Bed anyone??

some cute kids watching the entertainment..

man? or woman?

hmm...you decide

last but not least.. a big ol comfy bed filled with pillows and topped with a 'snack tray' consisting of a pear, apples, an orange, dried fruit, bananas, M&M's and Oreos!!! YUM!!

Im stuffed!!!

Ahhhh.. Last nite's "Breakfast" at the Kitchen Academy..was INCREDIBLE!!! Sooo much food..too little tummy!

Everything I tasted was delicious...and my now new favorite food is Crepes Suzette!!

Sara was in charge last nite of making these sweet little triangles of heavenly goodness!! Made with Grand Marnier (French cognac based orange liqueur) and topped with little mandarin oranges and a pretty dusting of powdered sugar..they were the Hit of the Party!! (at least in my tummy anyways ..hehehe)

There were Eggs Benedict.. Quiches of 4 different varieties, bacon, sausage, omelettes made to order, french toast on baguette bread that i hear was just as heavenly.. Crepes Mornay, i know im missing alot of others..and juices.. freshly made juices of all sorts.. my favorite was the strawberry orange juice!! yum!!! ( i think im getting hungry again!!)

The Theme of the night was "The Breakfast Club".. the decorations were done in a school cafeteria style setting..with brown paper table covers and brown paper lunch bags as centerpieces that held an Apples, Pencils, "Rules".. and bubble gum tossed about the table! It was cute!

We got to meet Sara's instructor, Chef Pierre. He is very proud of Sara and her enthusiasm, skills ,attitude and work effort :) This just made our buttons pop :) I think we beamed all night long :) ( oh ya..and even saw a celebrity strolling thru the area outside.. but we can't think of his name!!!!)

The class did such a great job on the food, decorations and the presentation of it all.. both Tim and I were very impressed. Everyone was very professional acting..and looking..and took pride in what they were doing :)

Congratulations Sara on doing such a wonderful job last nite... We Love you and are soooo very proud of you :) :) :)
