Eatting Out: Brick Oven

I'm interpreting the month long break from the blog as a sign that I have a lot of adventures, so many that I have very little time to tell you about them! In the spirit of Valentine's Day I've decided to wait to tell you about those and share one more in line with the holiday.

Last Friday, my valentine took me to the Brick Oven. During the week before Valentine's Day their 12" pizzas are heart shaped!

Our delicious, pepperoni-sausage-bell pepper, heart shaped pizza

I think they are darling! What a nice way to celebrate love! So if you have a valentine, or a few single friends you want to celebrate with, go to Brick Oven and get a heart shaped pizza! (While you're there, don't forget to try the root beer!)

Happy Valentine's Day!
Love,
Becca

Game Night: Liebrary

Friday morning I got a text from the PizzaPieCafe that offered a coupon for the new Express location on Freedom next to Yozone. Buy one pizza get one free. Perfect! All I needed was a reason to buy two pizza's. So I texted a lot my friends in Provo who I still have numbers for and about eight of them could make it. I went to get the pizza's (which was an adventure in and of itself, what did I expect in a college town for $2.50 a pizza). Let everyone know they could come over, and Liebrary soon entered my life.

My dear friend, and former roommate, Genevieve brought it along with her. Liebrary is pretty much like Balderdash. One person reads the title of a book and the author, then everyone else is supposed to write down the most convincing lie of what the first line to that book would be. The first person reads aloud everyone's first lines and the real first line of the book. Then you try to guess the real first line. Hilarity ensues. According to the rules the person who is it is supposed to read aloud the plot as well, but we tried that once and decided its way more fun to not know what the book is about.

These kind of games are super fun whether or not you know everyone else very well. I don't do so well with them, and the last three rounds I played all I could think about was baking cookies, so I did while everyone else finished the game. (Typical Becca.)

Once Liebrary was over I still wanted to play games, so we played a game called Signs which doesn't require anything other than yourself (those are sometimes the best games). Maybe if you come to my next game night I'll teach you how to play!

Eating Out: Carrabba's

After our looong drive up to Provo, my dad, Robert and I were all ready for food that didn't taste like we were on a road trip (no fast food) so we ended up at Carrabba's. If you've never eaten there, you are missing out. If you have been there before, why did you not tell me about this place?!

(I don't know where this is, but it's cheerier than the snow covered restaurant we went to)

Here's the break down: (Oh how I wish I had taken pictures of the food...)
We ordered Risotto Poppers for an appetizer (we were starving)
They give you bread with a yummy olive oil and herb dip
I got the soup of the day and I think the men got salads...(tehe)
THEN our food came...
Robert ordered the Chicken Bryan (with goat cheese, yummy!), which the waiter said was amazing and he was right.
Dad ordered the Penne Franco with Shrimp. It has artichoke hearts, which is usually the deciding factor (I <3 me some artichoke hearts)
BUT they had Pollo Rosa Maria (Stuffed with fontina and prosciutto, topped with mushrooms and a basil lemon butter sauce) DELICIOUS. Seriously.
We all tried each others dishes and exclaimed about how good everything was. I think mine was the best of the dishes.
If we weren't SO full of delicious food I probably would have asked my dad to get us dessert, next time for sure!

So for your future adventures Carrabba's would be a wonderful date. I would be super impressed if a boy took me there. It's on the pricey side, so I would refrain from going there a lot. It's definitely a special occasion place. Like when your parents are in town and they will pay for you! Buon appetito!

New Adventures

I'm back in Provo! Classes have started, I've already worked two shifts with concessions, I've played with some friends and I'm making plans to play with more (or trying to...). I'm sooo happy! I'm pretty sure I've been smiling since classes started because I HAVE THE BEST MAJOR EVER. Tuesday, in my first class we played Simon Says then talked about how people define leisure and what it means. That night in my Social Recreation class we played games and discussed how people play and socialize and how wholesome recreation brings people together. My Outdoors Leadership class plays a lot as well, and this semester we will go cross country skiing, scuba diving and camping!!! Seriously. This is my life.

I've decided I'm going to take a different twist on this blog. I am going to go have adventures in and around p-town. then I will blog about it so you can go and have those or similar adventures. I will keep it kind of journal-ly but mostly the stories here will be to tell you about fun adventures. Ready?!
