On Wednesday we tried to go to the beach but it was really, really windy. We were getting pelted with sand. Finally we just gave up and went home. After getting all the sand off of us, we decided to go shopping. At TJ Maxx I picked up a really discounted dress, some sandals and a floppy beach hat.

For dinner we went to Colombo’s Cafe & Pastries, which opened up in Hyannis that day. Jess’s cousin Michaela is a hostess there so we went to visit her and check out the new restaurant. The concept is kind of something for everything. There’s a bar, a lounge, inside dining, outside dining, a pastry case, gelato, lunch sandwiches, nice dinner entrees, etc. I guess time will tell if this strategy works.

We really liked that all of the pasta was whole wheat and you could get a honey whole wheat crust on the pizzas. The food there skewed towards Italian and healthy, which differentiated it from the other Cape restaurants we’ve been to. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, but as to be expected on opening night of any restaurant, there were some service kinks to work out. I’m sure they just need practice to get everything running smoothly.

Friday night, for our last dinner in Kaua’i, we got dressed up and went out to master chef Roy Yamaguchi’s Hawaiian fusion restaurant, Roy’s. Dallas knew a chef in the back and hooked us up. Everyone got seafood and it was amazing. I had seared scallops and chocolate souffle. I can’t even describe how good the food was! Perfect for our last night out. Afterwards we tried to take some photos of us using the timer and it wasn’t working out so great. The outtakes are pretty funny, though. We finally ended up asking someone to take a group photo of us.

Nancy and Josh came down today from Milwaukee to go shopping on Michigan Avenue and to help me with some things around the house. We went shopping first and then came back and Josh assembled my dining room table and chairs while Nancy and I cooked dinner – seared scallops with lemon and dill. We also had rolls, a garden salad, and shoepeg corn. Dessert was apple pie a la mode. Josh also helped me hang a full-length mirror and some miscellaneous hooks around the house. Josh is my rent-a-husband.

I am so excited to have a dining room table now.. Also, two days ago I bought a set of silverware because I knew Nancy and Josh would be over for dinner. In New York I survived for 2 1/2 years with only one knife, one fork and one spoon and that is all that I had before I bought the new set. I feel so grown up. Now I just need to get some dishes and glasses. Tonight we had to eat our delicious meal off paper plates and disposable bowls! I’m getting there little by little. It can be annoying to have to get everything from scratch, but it’s fun because this is the first time in my life that I’ve been able to go to the store and pick out everything, exactly what I want, and not be hanging on to hand-me-downs that I have just because they were free but that I don’t really like.
