restaurant: Mixtura; golden thrifting moment

Took Nibs on a V-Day (observed) date to Mixtura, a Peruvian place in Kirkland, if you can believe it. Thumbs up to the beef heart appetizer and quinoa risotto with mushrooms. Nibs was less satisfied with the chicken. A few small service issues, but I think it's worth a place near the bottom of my top ten.

Silent comedy: standing outside the Redmond Value Village, when one of the goths present told [livejournal.com profile] balzacq that his wife was about to buy a bright orange sweater. He was in there in a trice, and animated conversation that we couldn't hear ensued. [livejournal.com profile] theda gave us funny looks through the glass as we laid square eggs, probably believing us, correctly, to be too damn silly. For the record, she was buying it for [livejournal.com profile] meathelmet, whose taste for bright orange clothing is well known.

And that sweater, 100% lamb's wool, fits me perfectly!

Thank you again, [livejournal.com profile] theda!

I'd read a good review about Mixtura! I really want to go sometime soon!

I heard that at one of the later stops a pair of bright orange jeans was also found.

Heh. If that was in Renton I missed them. As I said at the time, [livejournal.com profile] meathelmet will be the last one of us to be hit by a bus.

That is very funny indeed.

"No, really, officer, I'm buying this for a friend..."

What makes it even better was that [livejournal.com profile] meathelmet was sitting out there with the rest of us. Maybe she was too distracted to stop him. It Was To Laugh.
