So, it's Friday now, last I wrote, we were on our way to see Stomp--it was an amazing show. If you have never seen it, put it on your to-do list, it really was fantastic. Almost as fantastic as the reception put on by the incomparable Jina of Jina Yoo's. She did almost as well as us--no modesty on my part, I think our receptions are the best, but she may be a close second! Short ribs, noodles, tasty sushi, a very yummu spicy chicken salad sandwich, almost as great as the food in-house. We always tell our customers that Columbia's Kitchen can save you from having to eat out every night so that when you do, you can go to great places and Jina Yoo's is one of our favorites.
Yesterday I worked so that Lauren could compete in MU's Iron Chef competition--she won last year and was not going to be allowed to compete, but they had a team drop out at the last minute, so she was able to participate--I will let you know next time how she did, I forgot to ask today as I ran out of the store. But while I worked my kids had BBQ meatloaf and macaroni and cheese. We all love the mac n' cheese from Columbia's Kitchen and we usually have it once a week. If eaten in moderation it's not all that bad for you, and you can't beat it for comfort food. I also like that it reheats better than any other commercial product I have ever tried! Oh, and while they were eating meatloaf, I had a Chicken Gyro from my Cherry Hill neighbor Kostaki's. I am not sure why they won't put them on the menu, but the great staff will make you one if you ask, then tell them you and Lisa think it should be on the menu! I am not a fan of lamb, but I love everything else about a gyro, and Kostaki's does it well!
Today, Bo had ANOTHER day off from school, so Lauren came in for me and we went out for lunch, but unfortunately I can't tell you where as we did NOT enjoy it. I will tell you all the good things I can about all the places we go, but I won't write a bad thing, and I won't even give you a hint. After all, we all have different palates and I know that many people enjoy this place, so the fact that we didn't means little except that I don't have anything to recommend. When Jay gets home, I'll go back to work, but I am not sure what my boys will eat tonight--maybe I'll have Lauren keep out one of those salmon dishes since they all like it and salmon is not my favorite fish...
Then we have to get ready for a crazy weekend. Basketball, fiddle, haircuts, a sleep over, and Pierce is going to True/False Bootcamp! Over ten hours, 12 kids will produce a 20-minute documentary, and on Sunday Columbia's Kitchen will feed them spaghetti and meatballs to help them through the editing process! Everyone try to catch a movie or two this weekend, we are lucky to have the festival and it's a shame if we all don't at least try to take advantage of it! Talk to you soon, Lisa
