Josh and I had a date last night and it was a fantastic evening! A friend of mine from high school was in the play Forever Plaid at the Old Log Theater in Excelsior. He got us tickets to the show so before that we decided to go to dinner at Jake O'Connors Public House in Excelsior.
If you want a REAL Irish bar setting, this was the best so far...I love The Claudaugh in Maple Grove, but this place even serves BROWN BREAD! It was a great reminder of our trip to Ireland a few years back. Also, I ordered a Magners which is a cider beer. I started drinking Bulmers in Ireland and haven't been able to find that here, but I liked the Magners too, well Josh talked to the bar tender last night to see why you can't find Bulmers in the US and apparently Magners IS Bulmers...It's made by the same company and shipped to the US under a different name! Sweet! So I had my Brown Bread and Bulmers and some Butternut Squash Ravioli with Scallops and then we went to the play.
Forever Plaid was HILARIOUS! I can't say enough about it...I laughed so hard I was wiping my eyes through the entire show! I wish I could tell you all to go see it, but last night was the final performance. If any of you have seen the show, my friend TJ was "Jinx" and he was awesome! And the rest of the case was amazing too. Ok...so I'm rambling on and on about Beer, Brown Bread and Musicals! You now think I'm crazy or I drank too much...Oh well...it was a great date night!
