lola's weekend update

i had a pretty busy weekend of doing nothing.
friday night, Sasha and I went to Tierra for our monthly dinner.
i'd decided at the start of the day to save my calories for dinner, but one of my-coworkers made the most delicious brownies. I couldn't help myself.
Here's the recipe for my coworkers brownies:
You'll need a box of betty crocker chocolate brownie mix. Prepare as instructed for cake-like brownies. Pour half the batter in regular brownie tin, then lay 2 large Hershey's Symphony Almonds & Toffee bars (the big baking ones, not the small ones) across the top of the batter. Pour the rest of the brownie mix on top and bake brownies as instructed. You'll have to keep an eye on it though because the chocolate bars may add some time. Doesn't this sound delicious? Yeah, I had 3.
This didn't stop me from wanting to eat my hand by 6pm and our reservation was at 7pm. Sasha and I decided to go early as most monthly dinners we've been to and made reservations for are empty when we get there. Well, I was the first to arrive and it was empty, so I kind of laughingly went up to the host and was like, "I'm an hour early, but it doesn't look like it matters". He kinda just glared at me and was like "I'll see if I can find you a table." UM REALLY? There was a table of 3 there, me, a waitress, a bus boy, the host and about 30 empty tables.
When Sasha arrived, I ordered us some Cheese Pupusas with curtido. My mom makes these as a special treat. GOSH THEY ARE DELICIOUS! Pupusas are handmade tortillas with cheese in the center. My mother mixes a bunch of cheeses when she makes them and sometimes she'll do some with meat and cheese or just meat. The curtido is like a pickled/vinegary cabage/carrot/turnip slaw (without the mayo). GOOD GOD ITS SO GOOD. The pupusas at Tierra did not disappoint. AWESOME.
Oh yeah, the wine is good and cheap (most bottles are around $25). Sasha ordered the grilled pork medallions with fruit relish and chipotle mashed potatoes and I ordered the beef tenderloin with jalapeno onion cream and platanos fritos. Sasha and I have been doing monthly dinners for about 4 months now and Tierra was by far the best for me. My meal was perfect. Prepared well and in good portion. Needless to say, both Sasha and I did not have enough room for dessert (but I was eyeing that tres leches!).
