OMG, we went to Iowa City today!
Brett rolled in around 2:30 from somewhere… I’d heard him drive off around ten this morning but hadn’t spoken to him so I didn’t know where he was going. Since it was Sunday, I assumed Bo’s and football on the telly.
He said, “Do you still want to go to Iowa City?” and I squeaked “YES!” and ran and got in the truck. We stopped to get Bo and hit the road.
An hour later we were at Paul’s Discount, where Mr. Brett bought himself three pairs of jeans and I got a pair of flannel pajama bottoms and this tunic/dress thing out of printed Indian cotton. Yay!
We went to the Ped Mall and Brett & Bo got iced mochas at the Tobacco Bowl. We went to a head shop, where I laughed out loud at a UPS-brown t-shirt that read: ‘my package will fit perfectly in your box’. Another read ‘I’m a carpenter – let’s get hammered and then I’ll nail you,’ but Brett didn’t buy it for some reason, even though it’s totally his kind of utterly crass, dirty banner tee.
After that adventure, we went to the Hell Mall. I got money from Brett and he and Bo went to Sheels. I went to Bath & Body works and got shower gel and lotion and toiletries of that ilk. I hate Sheels. All the stuffed, mounted dead animals. Gag.
We stopped in at the bar for a cocktail. I buffed my nails. Brett found the bar’s little specialty drink menu and ordered himself something that contained ice cream, Baileys, Buttershots, and caramel. It was basically a Slippery Nipple shake – unbelievably delicious. You’d die if you tasted it. It’s the girliest thing I’ve ever seen him drink.
I had my usual and Bo had a margerita. Then the bartender gave us two more margeritas that had been made by accident. Yay! Free cocktails!
After that, Best Buy. After that, Sushi Popo.
I love sushi so, so much. Miso soup! Edamame! Sake! Yellowtail! Salmon! California roll! Avocado roll! WASABI. The whole thing: brilliant. So delicious. My GOD it was so good.
Then we drove home. Brett played his new video game for about five minutes, then we ravished each other, then we passed out. Then I woke up, because one of the dogs breathed or something and everything wakes me up these days, and that’s how I came to be updating my blog at 1:26 AM. The end.
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
Oh, I didn’t know you guys called them Edamame just like we do here. They really tastes well with Sapporo Beer if you have’t tried, please. 🙂
I am so glad to hear you liked Miso Soup as one of the visitors here to my office went “yuuuck”.
Good week!
You guys always come to IC and you NEVER call me. 👿
Oh, and next time you’re here, you have to try Takanami. I love Sushi Popo, but Tak is soooo much better. Their edamame is better… and how can that really be?
I love miso soup! I want to have it every day!
I thought about you, even if I didn’t call you. We were on a shopping thing.
Takanami? Where is this? I only know about Aoshi and Sushi Popo and Three Samuri. There’s another sushi restaurant in Iowa City?!
Takanami is downtown on Iowa Avenue between The Que and Brueggers. There’s also one out by Sycamore Mall in the strip mall where the big evil pet store is… can’t remember the name of it, but a friend of mine eats there frequently and loves it… and brings me a tasty sushi lunch sometimes. So, while I’ve never been there, I can vouch for the quality of their food. And miso soup… I CRAVE that stuff. Especially if I’m sick and can’t hold anything down. Miso soup is the only thing I want.
And guess what? If you come visit me, I will have a guest bedroom IN MY NEW HOUSE!!!
Sushi is gross. Gross, gross, gross, gross, dead and sliced and seasoned. Gross.
This new layout, however, is delicious.
🙂
Oh honey! No! Sushi is not gross. It’s sex for your taste buds! It’s delicious, it makes you feel great, and although it is dead and sliced it typically isn’t seasoned.
I think you’ve never eaten it. We absolutely must get this fixed. I might just have to drive down there and take your ass out for sushi. OMG, it’s soooo good.
And thanks! I like the new fall look too!
yay for sushi & miso soup! can’t wait until i can eat spicy tuna with a clear conscience again. 😀
sounds like you had a wonderful weekend – great way to make up for a not-so-wonderful week. 🙂
