Love's in the Air

Just wanted to make a little post of what we did for the day of Love. After Eric got home from work we decided to brave the crowds and go out for dinner. But before we headed out Eric asked me to grab something from the car for him, I was skeptical but went anyway, in the car I found a pound-and-a-half-heart-shaped-box full of See's Candies (custom, not pre-arranged, the only way to go). It was the only thing I wanted. I was so happy to see all those beautiful chocolates staring back at me...don't worry, I didn't leave Eric empty handed, I got him the book he has been wanting for a while, Wall and Piece by Banksy (graffiti art, makes for a good coffee table book).

With all the restaurants in Salt Lake City (Utah County doesn't have as great of a selection) we knew we'd find a restaurant without a crazy wait. We love Thai so we hopped on Urban Spoon (the coolest application for iphone) and found a great little Thai restaurant in Downtown, little did we know that this little Thai restaurant also served Filipino food. That's right, Filipino food! Slowly all the Filipino restaurants started closing down in SLC and Utah county, and we thought there were none left. But it turns out there is one and we happened to find it by accident, its called Five Star. With all the Thai restaurants in SL, how did we manage stumble upon the one that serves Filipino food?

When we saw the Filipino flag hanging in the restaurant and a sign that said "we serve Filipino food" we were shocked and knew we hit the jackpot. For Filipino food, you actually have to ask for a different menu, when Eric ordered his Filipino dish the owners came over and started talking to us...they were curious as to why we ordered Filipino food. Turns out they are Filipino too. We hit it off with the owners and even got on their emailing list for when they have Filipino Buffet night. We're excited for that! Highly recommend Five Star. We finished off the night by going to the movies and watching He's Just Not That Into You - thought it was a cute movie!

hopE yOu alL had a happy valentines daY!!!
