Ryan and I debated heading to the springs or taking Sadie to the dog beach today, but since both were a bit of a drive and Weather.com revealed some risky weather in the future, we stayed close to home.
We attended an early-afternoon church service before going out to lunch at Grace Japanese Steakhouse. We heard great things about the restaurant from friends in the area and were anxious to give it a try.
After the hostess seated us, we went unnoticed for quite a while and I think someone forgot to assign a waiter to our table.
We started brainstorming ideas on how to get their attention in creative ways.
First we tried this…
And then we tried this…
Nothin’.
Okay, so we didn’t actually sit there with chopsticks in our mouths, but we did talk about how funny it would be if a waiter walked by and every time they glanced at our table, our chopsticks were in another place.
It was oddly amusing. 
Once we did get noticed, I ordered a miso soup to start and an appetizer roll that included cucumber, masago (fish eggs) and imitation crab.
For my entrée, I opted for the fantasy roll which was packed full of fish and flavor.
Ryan got a bento box with teriyaki chicken and enjoyed his meal as well.
Since we were within walking distance of Peachwave, a fantastic frozen yogurt shop, we stopped by after lunch for a little sweet treat.
Cotton candy + Cupcake frozen yogurt topped with whipped cream… I know cotton candy sounds like a strange flavor, but it tasted like childhood in a cup. So good!
We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping for groceries, doing laundry and other odds and ends around the house. Hoping to cram in a little nighttime reading after dinner.
See ya in the morning!

I don’t know about cotton candy, but I made my own cake batter froyo today and it was so good!
We have peachwave in Kansas CIty! It’s soooo good! Haha and I LOVE the various chopstick position idea, that sounds like a movie montage.
Where did you find that necklace!? So cute. 🙂
thank you! it was a gift from my sister. i think she got it at francesca’s. (here’s their website: http://www.francescascollections.com/)
Quick question! I was just discussing with friends how much we spend on groceries per week and wondered how much you spend for both you and Ryan. I typically spend $60, and that’s just for me! I certainly buy a lot of produce…but I wonder if it’s my location? NYC…
i actually did a whole post about our grocery shopping habits w/ a budget breakdown, etc. which you may see here: https://www.pbfingers.com/2011/02/20/healthy-grocery-shopping-on-a-budget/ – i hope this helps!! 🙂
That was soooo helpful! Thank you for that! It makes me feel better to see that you’re spending about $51/person…I guess I do eat a lot of food, so I’m okay with that 🙂 makes me happy to eat healthy!
I have yet to add whipped cream to my froyo – I always get it weighed and paid and then realize that it would have been perfect. Tasty and light, so it doesn’t contribute too much to the cost!
Oh my goodness. I know we have a Peachtree Frozen Yogurt near our house and I NEED to try it! Those flavors sound amazing!
I mean Peachwave. Not Peachtree. But I think the Peachwave shop is actually ON Peachtree Industrial Blvd haha. Not confusing at all!
Well technically, you did sit there with chopsticks in your mouth… 😉
Looks like a great afternoon with some delicious eats. I’ve been craving sushi for a few weeks and it seems the sushi I had a couple days ago didn’t completely fill that need.
I’ve actually tried frozen yogurt before. It actually did taste like cotton candy, and it wasn’t nearly as weird as I thought it’d be. Just nice and sweet.
That sushi looks delicious!
Cotton candy & cupcake fro yo?! Sign me up!
I had sushi for dinner too!! Been craving it non stop lately!!
I always do that with my chopsticks! I love your watch! My sister and I like to do the walrus from Mrs. Doubtfire! haha 🙂 Have a good night
Sushi and froyo..what a perfect day! 🙂
I love sushi . I crave it like crazy!
Cotton candy frozen yogurt sounds AMAZING! We have birthday cake ice cream at my house right now, and despite its name, I think it tastes just like cotton candy. I love it <3
Looks delicious! Sushi is my FAVORITE food ever!!
Sushi is quickly becoming one of my new favorite foods! And frozen yogurt places are now popping up all over the place I love them!

Haha cute, my sister does that ALL the time at restaurants, except she makes sure the waiters see her, its a little embarrassing to our family 😉
Cotton candy fro yo sounds odd yet I am intrigued!! Hellllo sugar coma :)!
HAHA love the chopsticks! Thank goodness you two didn’t resort to any up-the-nose shots..
…or at least they remain undocumented 😉
Guilty. I always make walrus faces with chopsticks too… my friends and family say I am “childish”- I say they are jealous of my abilities. I win 🙂
ps: the sushi looks PHENOMENAL!!
oh my heck. you gave me a good laugh as i scrolled down thru the post!
btw, i’ve been meaning to say how nice it is to see how supportive ryan seems in pix. of course it’s great to have goofy pix, but he always looks like he’s smiling genuinely in the pix you use for your posts. but only you know the whole story about how cooperative he may be 🙂
My coworker LOVES cotton candy flavored everything, but I just can’t get over the fact that it always comes in weird colors! Neon pink, blue… she even got one that looked like playdough yellow once. Gives me the heebie jeebies!
