Don’t get me wrong…I had a freaking wonderful weekend.  But part of me is ready to get back to work.

Friday night I went out with Drew to Hula’s Modern Tiki…which their website describes as  “Great modern island cuisine and tropical cocktails in a casual, hip environment.”

After that we did coffee next door at Lola’s Coffee Bar.  Then met up with Catherine and Rueben for a gay drink at Switch.

And early on Saturday I went with my sister to California to drop off my nephew.  He’ll be staying at his dad’s house for a few weeks.  We ate at Omega Burger near the Orange Traffic Circle downtown (see photo).

When I drove in Saturday night, Drew was at a pool party and I met him there.  After a few drinks and awkward situation with a guy in Burberry swim trunks that showed his erection,  we ended up back at his place drinking margaritas and listening to my new favorite song on the Direct TV pop station.

Sunday morning I overslept, ate a crappy lunch/breakfast at Jack, and had a great afternoon hanging out with Drew’s huge family.

No fireworks.

And I learned how to play Egyptian War.

Monday I went to lunch with my dad and sister at a Diners Drive-Ins and Dives place called Chino Bandidos.  They cook a Chinese/Mexican mix.  I was skeptical, but loved it.  Here’s my meal:

After the meal I went home and had a most relaxing evening doing close to nothing.

What did you end up doing?

I’ve blogged about it before (here and here) I absolutely love Easter Peeps Candies.  And it’s that time of year again when Easter candy starts filling the grocery aisles of my mind and I find that I can’t concentrate at work because I can’t think of anything else.

Luckily last year we found sugar-free peeps at Walmart and other fine retailers.  When I went to pick up a package at Walmart yesterday I found out that the stupid things have almost 30g of carbohydrates in them.  And I’m not just sugar-free any more…now I’m practically carb-free too.

So if I want to have a sugar-free Peep for dessert, I can – just as long as my entire meal contains close to 0 carbohydrates.  Lame sauce.

I tweeted last night that I was drinking a daiquiri made with Crystal Light, and I had a few people ask for the recipe. It’s so easy to make them, so I made this quick video:

What fast food restaurant has the best french fries?  I was talking to Adam the other night and he mentioned that he didn’t like McDonald’s fries…and in all honesty, I can’t remember someone ever saying that before.

And this conversation made me evaluate my own french fry preferences, and I came to the conclusion that I only really, truly like french fries from 2 fast food joints.

Del Taco and In N Out.

What about you?  Is there a fry that you’d kill for?
