Today is Josh's Birthday, Happy Birthday Joshua!

Mom has been hounding me to update this, but I don't have much to add.  I've been trying to stay in more, go to the gym, drink less.

Sara and I did have a nice night out last week, I can share that!  I downloaded a new app called, "Reserve" where it serves as a concierge for specific restaurants in Boston.  I got a flyer from a networking event I went to a couple of weeks ago, so I received $25 off my first dinner.   We planned to go to the ICA's First Friday event (once a month they have a DJ and drinks and you can tour the galleries and usually there is something else going on that is themed for the month).  Sara's friend Hannah is the event coordinator for the ICA, so we try to go when we don't have plans, we get ont he list so it's free and we get a free beer tasting.  They are pretty fun, and a good way to have a chill night.

Normally we go right after work, but last month Hannah let us know we should arrive later, as more people are usually around and it makes the dancing/DJ a bit more fun.  So for this month we decided to stop and eat dinner before heading over to the museum.

I had just downloaded the app so I figured we might as well take full advantage of it.  Nebo is an Italian restaurant nearish the Seaport (where the ICA is).  I've been wanting to go for awhile, but it's always been a bit pricey.  Since we had $25 off, we thought it was a good time to try it out.

We each got a drink, I got a moscow mule (complete with copper mug!) and Sara got a gin drink.  We ordered an appetizer- it was called Funghi Selviggi, and was DELICIOUS.  Anytime there is anything polenta on the menu we have to order it.

It's creamy mascarpone polenta with a wild mushroom ragù, sage and a fried egg.

For the entrees, we go a pizza and a pasta dish.  The pizza had potato, pancetta, gorgonzola, rosemary and mozzarella.  

The pasta was squid ink pasta, with scallops in a light mascarpone sauce.

Both were to die for.  The sauce in the pasta was so good, we were dipping the crust of our pizza in it after it was finished.  Two people came to try and take the bowl away, but stopped when they noticed Sara still using it.

Because we used the app, the manager came over and introduced herself.  She gave us her card and let us know we could call her anytime we wanted to come by and she would take care of us.

We headed over to the museum, listened to old hip hop songs downstairs, a blues band on the second floor, and looked at weird art on the fourth floor.

We then headed home, watched some TV and went to bed!

This weekend was pretty chill as well, I did all my laundry and went to the gym.  I made some Vegan potato soup and cleaned my room.  Pretty basic.

Oh, last week at Dodgeball I made a catch and then I threw someone out!  It doesn't happen often so, it was pretty nice.

Tonight we are going to see a screening of "Cinderella" and Im going to look for a pair of boots to wear when its not cold enough for snow boots, but not warm enough for flats.
