gargantuan meal

So for my birthday Eric and I went to Fogo de Chou, which was actually part of my gift to him. We figured out that lunch is half the price when we went the first time for a very expensive dinner, so we always said we wanted to go there for lunch. The filet mignon wrapped in bacon is still my favorite, mostly because it is just so good, salty, juicy, soft, just absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed the garlic beef tips which were exceptional. To all the vegetarians out there, I'm sorry. I don't usual relish my meat experiences so much in words.

At the end I ordered a key lime cheesecake and we drank espresso and coffee and sat by this big wall fountain that had a tranquil sound and it was all very lovely.

Afterwards, we went to the MCA (Musuem of Contemporary Art) to see the Andy Warhol exhibit. It was really interesting to see some of his lesser seen pieces alongside his better known works like the Turqoise Marilyn Monroe or the images of Jackie Kennedy at JFK's funeral. One thing that was really cool is the curator tried to show some insight into his process, showed some of the images he chose and then what he did with them. Also all throughout on the walls were quotes from Andy Warhol, all very playful and ironic and full of double speak.

All in all, it was a nice day and even if it wasn't my birthday it would have been great just to get to spend time with Eric.

cheers...
