Simple Pleasures

Today I finally decided to do something that I’ve been wanting to do for months and months. Carpe Diem. I got Liz to go w/ me to an Indian restaurant in downtown Dallas. I had to parallel park, which as you can tell from the picture, I am NOT good at. I tried to back up, but it just wasn’t happening, so I left half my car sticking out. Luckily no one hit it!

We should have known we were in for a unique dining experience when we were the ONLY customers in there and then instead of like chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant they brought us a cup of HOT PINK turnips and cabbage? What the heck???

Liz got the chicken schawarma sandwich and I got the spicy lamb. I have been CRAVING some kebapci’s like I used to have in Slovenija all the time. I was so excited when we walked in and I saw the meat on a turning spike like they had in Kebapci’s, but it wasn’t the same. It was good, but not even close to what I was craving. And, it was really expensive. As you can see, Liz wasn’t too excited about it, but she got french fries b/c you can’t really mess those up too bad. It was ok, but not a place I will go back to. What I wouldn’t give for a real Kebapci’s right now! It was such a simple pleasure that I enjoyed so much while living in Slovenija.

When Autumn and I got home, we went out to feed Gigi and then we sat on the driveway and played w/ the dandelions. You have to watch the video below…it is SO PRECIOUS! I don't think I've ever gotten such happiness and enjoyment out of such a simple thing. I couldn't help but laugh and smile while watching her.
