yes this week is definitely already on the upswing.
i talked with one of my friends last night about doing the chicago chef week next week. i've never done one before. it's where they give you a three-course meal for $33, in this case. Liz went with her boyfriend a couple weeks ago for restaurant week or something and they loved it. so that got me wanting to give it a try too.
i was a little nervous because usually places have a set menu that you just get. reminder: i'm a vegetarian. so i looked over the list (mostly places i've never heard of...i generally don't do fine dining). i was hoping for girl & the goat, which i've totally been wanting to try... no luck there. i saw mana, which i've definitely been wanting to try as well (vegetarian tapas). and blackbird, which i've actually heard of, and heard good things. very fancy smancy.
i called blackbird to check their menu options. they were SUPER nice and said they would definitely have a vegetarian option. wahooo! then she squeezed us in to a time that was listed as full online. another wahooo please!
so we're going and i can't wait! it'll be a splurge, but as i told emily, "we'll think of some reason to celebrate."
i'll let you know how it goes.
and i'm going to go outside and read for a couple hours before i head to the adler because it's so beautiful and the sun's out.
tonight is going to be great! i can feel it in my bones...
