Tappas & Lexington news
So,
quiet_elegance and I went out to dinner last night- He thought it might be interesting to check out the up-scale yuppy magnet restaurant in downtown Lex., Copacafe. When it opened earlier this year, I was very irritated that it showed: just another coffee shop and there were already 2 on the same block.
Last night I realized it's not so much a coffee shop but a tappas bar. Never been to one before, just watched Tony Bordain go to the ones in Portugal. Now, I don't think it was on par to the ones there, but they do have tasting menus as one of their features along with a full bar and the aforementioned coffee-ness.
q_e and I had a very good time, had some excellent conversation, and dinner was pretty tasty. I want to go back and try the more exotic variety of tasting menus they had listed. However, I have to say that dessert was not so spiff. Ohhhh well. I wonder if Finale's will open a third location out our way grin
Once home, it was about time for the new episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the show I chalk up to much of q_e's dramatic and super-awesome style changes, including the haircut. Unfortunately, watching the show makes me want to re-evaluate all my clothes, throw away most and start dolling up the house and hating our horrible, not to be replaced anytime very soon armoires/wardrobes.

( I found out why Cheese Etc. went down the tubes )
