Can’t talk long, gotta hit the sack!!!!! Lets all say a quick prayer that Jenna actually falls asleep tonight……!
Ryan and I had an absolutely fabulous meal at Bonefish tonight! He kept saying we were celebrating and I guess we are but the REAL celebration comes on Tuesday if I actually get the job………Regardless, tonight I “celebrated” with an Ocean Trust Martini with mango puree, fresh squeezed orange juice and vodka. It was killer!
Seriously if you are at Bonefish, get this drink. It tasted so FRESH and there was actual fruit puree in it. Soooo good and dangerous. I stuck to one then drank a big glass of water!
I ordered a Bonefish house salad with dressing on the side and feta cheese on top—
And a petite version of the Chilean sea bass with pan asian sauce and double the veg 
SImply awful 
My hot date had bang bang shrimp + saucy shrimp. I had a few……plus schmeared my bread into the sauciness
We split creme brulee for dessert!!
And now I feel like a stuffed piglet. Ryan, being the amazing boyfriend that he is, is drawing me a big, hot bubble bath and I’m going to chill out for awhile. I’ve been known not to sleep a wink on nights like this so I’m tylonel pm-ing it just to be sure .
.
EEEK!!!!! See you all from the air tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to post some info for anybody who might be interested in choosing sustainable fish. Here’s a link to the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s summary of Chilean Seabass. They recommend avoiding the fish as it is overfished and the fishing method also endangers seabirds. Sustainable substitutes include Striped Bass, Pacific Halibut, Sablefish (Black Cod), and Mahi Mahi.

Good luck with your interview!! Enjoy wine country for all of us:)
The best of luck tomorrow and praying for safe travels!
i’m excited for you! i’m sure it will go fabulously.
because i know you care so much about the food you eat, i wanted to share with you that chilean sea bass is very endangered due to overfishing. it’s really important to encourage restaurants to buy sustainable seafood by being informed and not ordering these dishes at restaurants! if the fish population levels aren’t carefully maintained, these species will quickly become extinct. just had to put in this plug! http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/web/sfw_factsheet.aspx?gid=6
good luck tomorrow!
You’ve so got this with your bright sparkling eyes and positive spin on things. Good luck.
That drink sounds divine! We have a Bonefish only 15 minutes from our home…hmmmmm. My feet get cold on flights as well. I have never brought socks though. Funny, I didn’t connect the dots!
Ahhh I’m so excited, good luck!
Your parting dinner looks great!

Can you believe I’ve never tried creme brulee? It always entices me whenever I see it at a restaurant, but somehow I always go back to ordering something with chocolate. Next time I’ll be sure to be random and order the creme brulee…it looks amazin’!
GOOD LUCK!!
i’m SOOOOO excited for you! GOOD LUCK WISHES COMING FROM COLUMBUS OHIO!!
I am so thrilled and excited for you, Jenna. Enjoy every minute of the process and if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be (and I so hope it is, because I can’t wait to read about your journey and next several months traveling in wine country!).
