FOGO DE CHAO!!!

WHAT A WEEKEND!!! Our friend Steven was here for a little shopping and a little fun.
He got here late Friday night and we met Ann, Mike, and Vicky for a little appetizer fun at Applebees. We went home to go to bed but stayed up til 2 AM!!!! I can seriously not remember the last time I was up so late! Crazy! AND pretty silly as we only stayed up to watch Oprah that was on TIVO!!! We could have watched it at any time. I did learn though, that when you're 35, you should NOT eat boneless buffalo wings and then stay up til 2. It's a bad idea.

We survived though and had a great day Saturday of shopping a bit and just hanging out. Steven tried RJ Riches for the first time and had one of their enourmous pancakes. He pretty much ate the middle and that was all he could do. We tried to eat just a little amount as we had GREAT plans for the evening! Those plans did NOT disappoint! We went to a fun new restaraunt in downtown Minneapolis called FOGO DE CHAO.... It's a Brazillian restaraunt that is pretty much just all about meat. If you want to check out the website it's www.fogodechao.com.
The whole premise is that after you have visited the salad bar, that was amazing, they give you a little coaster-sized disc. It's red on one side and green on the other. When it's turned green, the waiters bring over AMAZING pieces of meat either all stacked on a sword or big cuts of meat that they then slice off a piece for you. The pieces are small, but don't worry, they just keep bringing it as long as you are on green. Once you turn the disc over, they give you a break and stop bringing it around until you turn it over to green again.

After the second round of greens......


A very happy husband!


We survived the meat coma's and were able to enjoy the VERY brisk walk to our car on the top floor of the ramp. It was cold but WHAT a beautiful night!


And then we Wii'd!!! Thanks to Ann and Mike for hosting the Wii party!
FUN!!!
The competition was fierce, as you can see. It's a good thing that we all love each other!

Have a great week everyone!!!
