Just like kids again...



PMurph and I took the day off Monday since we had our whirlwind two days of prenatal classes this weekend. To celebrate, we headed out for a rare late night Sunday outing. We started out at the funky Cafe Habana, a Cuban restaurant in Royal Oak. I loved the fried plantain appetizer, Cuban bread with chimichurri sauce (parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil and red wine vinegar, according to the Metro Times review) and the traditional Cuban sandwich I ordered. (I've decided I have to continue to explore some eclectic tastes because they say your baby eats what you eat, and I want Baby M to have an adventurous palette.)

After that, we headed to the Magic Bag in Ferndale, a music club/theater to see the above band -- The Section Quartet, which bills itself as the Loudest String Quartet on the Planet. Loud, they were, but oh so talented. It was cool to hear Led Zeppelin, Radiohead and other bands' song remixed into a rock string quartet set.

The evening reminded us of when we first started dating and used to go to see small live shows in Central New York, where we met. It was a nice stroll down memory lane infused with a lot of talk about the BIG changes ahead and punctuated by some really crazy music. All in all, a great evening!
