Kirby's Date-Night

I hope Heaven has LOTS of creme brulee. (Just sayin'.) Yeah... so some women get all weak-knee'd over shoes, some prefer chocolate, some lust after jewelry... Call me low-maintenance (yeah, right...) but I have a deep passionate adoring sentiment for the decadence of a well-made creme brulee. Let me introduce to you: The wonderful... The amazing...
THE Grand Marnier Creme Brulee...

Heaven on the Half-Dish
I don't know if I should eat it... or rub it on my face.

Nevermind that Kirby's has the most incredible filet mignon covered with lump crab meat accentuated with a rich bearnaise sauce... or that their wine selection is beautifully laid out amongst a 12-page hardcover book and their bottle service is top-notch... or the valet service... or the -OMG!- macaroni and cheese comes loaded with artisan cheeses and topped with fried shoestring-onions... or the melting mushroom risotto... or... blah blah-blah blah-blah... CREME BRULEE is where its at. Hands-down.

Here's a few of the "Before" pictures...

Gatlins
DeCutlers
Walkers





Hodges
Swingles




...AND THE AFTER PICTURE:
Wine Goggles

"Binge and purge, ladies. Binge and purge."

Huggggssss!!!!!!!

SO, the moral of this story is...

Let them eat CAKE creme brulee!

Amanda Graduated!



--Did you hear I finally graduated?
--Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right.
--You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
--I know, they're called doctors.

SO, Chris Farley was a comedic genius... And, apparently so am I --'cause I GRADUATED!

Walking the stage! That's me on the screen, too!

There's my name! So exciting!
The future's so bright... gotta wear shades!


SO.... Where do I go from here???

Aside from having a cold brew at the Triple J Chophouse to contemplate my future...

Hmmm... Which shall I choose?
I have decided to continue my studies to become a Family Nurse Practitioner! :)  Look out, world.
