Pre Labor Day Weekend with Khine August 29, 2010 09:48:36 PM
Khine was just here in Nashville for the weekend for the first time since Med School started, but it went by sooo fast! So I thought I'd better write it all down so it doesn't just fade like a dream. It all started off with her catching a ride from JCity with a classmate who also has some connections in Nashville. We met at the flying saucer where she was dropped off because it's near where her classmate needed to be. We had dinner there, the usual, she had the Shiner Bock, I got something off the list, this time, St Pauli Girl German Lager, chicken quesadillas, a bowl of wings, and something new, the big dipper roast beef sandwich. Afterwords we headed home, got the mail, watched some tv and went to bed pretty early.
On Saturday morning she met the new room mate while studying. For lunch we went to the Olive garden where she got the endless pasta and I got the eggplant Parmesan. That was good as always. From there we went to the Yazoo brewery on Division St off 8th Ave in Nashville to get a tour. It was pretty cool. For 6 bucks you go around the brewing floor, get up to 3 glasses of beer, and you get to keep the glass. The only bad thing about Yazoo, though, is that they don't honor other places growlers. It makes me so made just thinking about it. The beauty of the craft is that microbreweries and home brewers are supposed to respect and honor one another. This place seems to have lost the spirit of the craft and has fallen victim to capitalism. Anyways, after that we went to an Asian market, then K & S world market, then back to the brewery (I left my credit card there), then finally home, where we ended up taking a short nap. When we got up we cooked all the things we got from the markets. I made a beef stew for the crockpot and she made a stir fry. We watched some TV, then the movie TRON, then we went to bed. We were going to go to a park with a cave today, but we found out that all the caved parks in TN are closed because apparently all the bats have a fungal infection called white nose syndrome. Bummer.
Sunday went the quickest because she had to leave at noon. Basically we got up really late, had breakfast, we went through some scheduling and paperwork, had dry noodles for lunch, packed up, and headed back to the Gulch in Nashville where she was to be picked up. I went straight home. And just like that she was gone :-( I ended up playing star craft for effectively the rest of the day. Can't wait to see her again, seriously, only 1 full day is basically like a tease, but certainly better than nothing!
