Pinkies up in Biiiiirmingham, followed by a splash of Jersey Shore

After a quick (but freeezing!) 4mi run w/ Gymmy, the roomie and I decided to venture out to Toast in Biiiiiirmingham for Restaurant Week! Why was this not advertised more?? I have been a Toast (Ferndale) fan for years, but dinner there was a first for me, so I was eager to try their dishes.

The roomie and I split the seared salmon (w/ rice noodles, stir-fried veggies, and a lemongrass basil broth) and the steak frites (w/ peppercorn crust and red wine sauce):


Then we sealed the deal w/ the Alize (brandied raspberries w/ hazelnut mousse):

All were good, but I'd say I'd stick to b'fast food at Toast. Sorry :(

With full bellies in tow, we then headed to AA, picking up K-special along the way. We enjoyed a night of Irishness @ Connor Oneil's, and decided to complete the night w/ some age-appropriate booty shakin' at Melange. Little did we know I would get *this* close to being "Jersey Shored" in the face by some random chick (please address me as Y-WOWW) and have my girls be accosted by the bouncer (thanks girls, ALL of you, for having my back!). Lets just say we did not leave w/o a stink...
