at the capitol.

On Saturday, Katie and I headed out on foot for the Boise capitol. Crowds of people flooded Downtown Boise to check out all of the little shops and the farmer's market. They had everything from artwork to fresh, local produce. It was all really cheap too. Low price cheap, not quality cheap. Mistaking the two can get you into trouble. Not that I've mistaken the two.

For lunch, we went to Five Guy's Burgers and Fries which was a little crowded. And it's a little pricey for fast food. But I love their burgers and cajun fries. I just love burgers in general. So much that I like to talk about my love for the burger. And when Katie says it's just a burger (because she always says it's just a burger), I am offended because I'm pretty sure that my favorite food is tired of being belittled. So I just quote Marshall Eriksen who was inspired by the movie Amadeus as he talked about the burger,

"Robin, it's so much more than just a burger. I mean, that first bite, oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, seasame-freckled breast of an angel resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below. Flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then, a pickle! The most playful little pickle. Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce, and a patty of ground beef so exquisite. Swirling in your mouth breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweet and savory so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is god, speaking to us through food."

 After filling up on greasy food, Katie and I hung out at the Capitol building. That place is beautiful. Ohh myy! I almost forgot to mention the wonderful thing that happened. Katie turned into a little chef over the weekend. I think she's been practicing while I'm at work or something. Not that she wasn't a good cook before. She's just beyond good now. On Saturday, Katie made almond chicken with rice. Very tasty. And during dinner, we watched Boise State rock Georgia on ESPN. At the same time, I was trying to keep up with the LSU game. And LSU won. Of course. Then for dinner on Sunday, Katie made Tortilla Soup. Hands down, best soup I've ever had. Perfect break the fast meal. And today, when I got off work at one, we went to Albertsons for Jones and Vanilla Cream soda. Little did I know, Katie had planned to make orange & apricot glazed chicken lettuce wraps. And she did. So good. Perfect, sweet chicken with a little crunch from the grilled lettuce. The Food Network has nothing on my wifey. I'm not ready to go back to work tomorrow, but honestly, I'm really excited to eat leftovers on my lunch break. And then I have Wednesday off to do my homework. As for now, back to watching How I Met Your Mother.
