Back to Bahama Breeze: New Rice Bowls!
At the beginning of the year I was invited to a blogger’s event at Bahama Breeze to taste their new Legendary Island Cocktails (click for post).

Lancaster Restaurant: Gibraltar with James
Was it too soon in the relationship to go away for the weekend? I didn’t think so at the time, but part of our problem was we simply rushed too quickly into calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend, the immediate “relationship status” became too fraught with expectations.
