Do you love your hair stylist?

Friday night Kyle & I headed out for a casual date night.  I'm a big fan of the fancy, table cloth places, but sometimes you need to keep it casual. Also getting my hair done Friday afternoon made a trip out necessary.

Side note- Meghann at Meals and Miles talked about  hairstylists in her post yesterday saying that she's had a different stylist most every haircut of her life.  Me - I'm in a monogamous stylist relationship.  My stylist Ive has worked on my hair for at least seven years.

It's been shoulder-length, short, long, long with glorious extensions, really short, and now back to mildly short.  She is an amazing stylist and if you're ever in Orlando and in need of a great stylist check her out. (and yes, the black one is a wig.) I love you Ivee!!!!

Back to date night.  Kyle NEVER eats sushi.  NEVER.  We forced him to try it about 2 months ago when we had dinner for his friend Davis's birthday.  Kyle to sushi ratio:1.

In Mexico, he ate some California rolls because he was starving waiting for our hibachi meal to start.  Mr. Clean Plate award. Kyle to sushi ratio:2.

Friday night he actually requested sushi! I was shocked!  We had heard a lot about a place called Bento Cafe in Orlando.  It's a fast casual restaurant with sushi and noodle/rice bowls.

The first thing I noticed was the overwhelming menu. There were two full sheets of menu and noodle bowls and I'm pretty sure they were in a size 10 font.

We ordered hot green tea and miso soup to start and then shared a sushi sampler.  The sushi sampler had 2 tempura rolls and a California rolls.  Yes, I know what you're thinking. And no, we are not adventurous sushi eaters.

I was pretty full after the rolls, but we ordered two chicken and brown rice bowls anyway.  Kyle was still hungry and I'm always looking for leftovers.  We got the garlic chicken bowl and a spicy Korean bowl. Honestly, we weren't impressed with either bowl.  The flavors were muddled and not what I was expecting.  I don't think we will return to this Bento Cafe.

Maybe I wasn't hungry because my mind was elsewhere....

How can one eat sushi when Menchie's is steps away?

This is my 3rd FroYo of the year...I try to be reasonable.  But I'm always so, so happy to be there!
They had a red velvet flavor that was out of this world.  I topped it with mini chocolate chips and sprinkles.  If that's wrong then I don't want to be right!

This morning I had a 6 mile run on the docket.  I woke up feeling terrible, but after an hour and some water I gave the run a go.  2.5 miles into it I knew a trip to the doctor was needed. I was not feeling well.  I finished 4.5 miles with a 9:40 pace and I'm proud of that.

After a trip to the doctor and some antibiotics, I should be feeling better soon.

What food do you like now that you used to hate?

For me I don't have anything that I like now that I used to hate, however I used to love pizza and now I really don't dig melted cheese.  How sad is that?

Love and partial foils,
Carissa & Kyle
