And another great Valentine's Day is down in the books.
Chris and I celebrated at a fun little spot in the West Loop called GEB,
or Graham Elliot Bistro.

The drinks were phenomenal.
Even though I'm usually against Moscow Mules that aren't served in a copper mug,
these surprised me and were totally delicious sans their copper suit.
I loved the touch of mint added, it was kind of like a Mule meets a Mojito.
A Mujito if you will.
And if you're not in the mood to look at photos of amazing food click away now,
because I proudly documented our entire meal.
This is like a first for me so you better believe I'm going to show you all.
Raw fish and raw beef.
Just how I like it.
Getting back to his German roots, Chris ordered the schnitzel.
And he's gonna hate me for writing this because he's actually got Danish blood,
or Viking blood, I'm not sure.
He just doesn't like me calling him German. Which is really weird now that I think about it.
I did something unusual for me and ordered a pork chop.
I'm usually a chicken strips kinda girl but this totally surprised me
and I woud definitely order it again.
And in between every meal we had an awesome wine connoisseur pouring us small
tastings of different wines he thought would go good with our food.
(Chris didn't realize I was taking his photo.)
Jk he did, he normally smiles like the person from the Ring.
All in all, a great night.
I think we were at home, comfortably sleeping in food comas by 10:00 p.m.
How did you celebrate your night?
But enough about that, we all know it's time for another edition of
The Daily Tay's Best Week Ever.
First of all, we gotta give a big shout out to all of the
Passengers Aboard the Triumph
They finally touched ground early this morning.
People came out kissing the ground and singing Sweet Home Alabama.
I can't help but think they were being just a tad dramatic,
I mean imagine what a passenger aboard the Titanic might have said about all this...
"So it didn't even sink? And you were in warm waters, no less?
Remind me again what the hype is then?"
One passenger aboard the Triumph was quoted as saying
"The vacation was over, we were all in survival mode."
Survival mode on a cruise ship means eating four meals a day as opposed to five.
Then again... our cruise ship from NYE this year did have a leakage problem causing our entire floor to smell like piss and that kinda sucked.
Maybe it's about time Carnival find a new day job.
Speaking of jobs, the next thing having the best week is
Hell.
Because they just got a new VP this week by the name of Christopher Dorner.
This man might have the most misleading smile I've ever seen.
It's just a good thing they caught this cop killer when they did because he was about
to go on a terror.
But seriously though, he's a got a really sweet smile don't you think?
Looks like he could be in a Tyler Perry movie or something.
Speaking of sweet smiles, you know who else is having a great week?
Little Boys.
On account of the Pope retiring and all.
Oh c'mon Catholics, you can't even let that offend you.
I'm catholic for God's sake! But that doesn't mean I'm ignorant to the fact there is a lot of shit
going on behind closed robes.
Here's a thought, why don't we let our priests get married already so they don't have to bottle
up all of their sexual creepy feelings?
Do I think Pope Benedict XVI was a good guy? Yea, probably.
But he covered up a ton of sexual abuse done to children so he might as well be called Pope Paterno
for all I care.
Since I'm on kind of a pervert run here, let's just continue on down the road
with the next on my list
Creepy Mailmen
Why? It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Because they've had the privilege of delivering this all week.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition was just released and the lovely
Kate Upton graced the cover again.
Or should I say Kate UptonS.
I bet she has terrible back problems.
And she probably can't sleep comfortably on her stomach the poor thing.
Last but not least, the final thing on my list having the best week ever is
Boys Town. Or Andersonville.
(Or any other stereotypical homosexual neighborhood in Chicago you'd like to name.)
Because Illinois just voted to back gay marriage!
Twenty years down the road little kids are going to say,
"So gay people really used to not be able to get married? That's so weird."
Just like how women couldn't vote and black people had to drink from different fountains.
And if you don't agree, you need to get with the times.
I understand the bible forbids marriage between same sex couples but the bible also forbids:
1. eating a ham sandwich.
2. getting a rounded haircut.
3.men with injured wieners going to church. -this one has Peter written all over it.
4. gossiping
5. women speaking in church.
And if you don't believe me click here to read more.
God adapts, people. He told me.
And this has been another edition of The Daily Tay's Best Week Ever.
Have a wonderful weekend, only two more and then it's March!
Summer is coming!

That food all looks phenomenal! Graham Elliot knows how to make food! Is it completely terrible that I don't feel like I need to read the news because reading your "Best Week Ever" posts pretty much cover all of the bases?
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favorite best week ever post...ever! Gotta keep the pervertadness coming. Is that a word? Outlook just told me it should be "perverseness". Either way. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteFood and view and drink menu look amazing! While I felt bad for those cruise ship passengers each report seemed completely overdramatized ...completely. I got a kick out of the news helicopters flying above for ground breaking coverage!?!! And Kate Upton. The woman has no need for a statement necklace, ever. Def a fave weekly edition of mine too!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me want to quit my job so I can write like this. #happyfriday
ReplyDeleteI die. You are too funny. I found your blog a little while back and I'm in love. Just saying. Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeleteLove this post SO much! I need to print out the last part and show it to all of the close minded people over here in Catholic country.
ReplyDeleteFAvorite post ever.
ReplyDeleteMy uncles live in Andersonville, and I'm convinced it's the greatest place on earth. SO HAPPY for IL senate backing gay marriage. I know the house is a little less enthusiastic about it, but hopefully it passes still. The gov will for sure sign it if it gets to him.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm pissed I'm not Kate Upton.
xo.
seriously - those can't be real. they can't!
ReplyDeleteThis post just made me chuckle right in the middle of a crying fit. THANK YOU, you are brilliant. x
ReplyDeleteI look forward to this every Friday, however, this one my be my favorite ever. Thanks for the giggles at work while I should clearly be working...
ReplyDelete"God adapts, people..."I think you just saved me from a crisis of faith. Seriously. I have been trying to figure out how to word this Truth. You just did it. THANK YOU! I hope you never get sick of doing "the best week ever" it's what I look forward to on Fridays. (Seriously.)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Loved this one! Just spilling the truth. HA!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Y'all had a perfect little valentines, getting to bed early is always a priority for me. I am catholic too but yes couldn't agree more with everything you said. And so happy about the gays. Ham sandwiches all around.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin and his boyfriend live in Boystown and I loved reading their FB updates this week. I am pretty damn happy that some of these states are getting their poop in a group. And you're right. God does adapt.
ReplyDelete1. Your Valentine's Days looks amazing!! Jealous over those oysters!
ReplyDelete2. Maybe if Tyler Perry had gotten a hold of ol' Dorner things could've been different. But then again- probably not. Madea would've just been crazier than she already is.
3. Holy boobs. She has 3 heads.
i can always count on the "daily tay's best week ever" to get me all caught up on the biggest news..or scandals. same thing.
ReplyDeleteYour "best week ever" kills me every week. I'm dying over the list of stuff forbidden by the Bible. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour "best week ever" kills me every week. I'm dying over the list of stuff forbidden by the Bible. LOL
ReplyDeletepossibly my favorite post. Mostly because 1) I'm obsessed with the whole LAPD thing right now (most since it was all taking place like 30 minutes from me) and 2) the last bit about IL and bible. thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some delicious looking food! Glad you guys had a wonderful dinner date!
ReplyDeleteI am so out of the loop.. I had no idea something was going on with a cruise ship that people thought that they had to go all survival mode.
Kate Upton has some huge freaking jugs.. She probably does have back problems. I would become Hunchback of Notre Dame if I had boobs that huge.
The food looks delish!! I love mojitos!! it's the tequila I love...I'm spanish :) tequila is in my blood. Yeah the whole Chris Donner thing brings a lot of debate here in CA...I am all for arresting stopping a cop killer...BUT outing (at least investigating) the corruption in the police department is another topic...thank goodness it's over thou!! And I love cruise ships...all these bad luck s=cruises (yours included) makes me sad...oh well...loved this best week!!
ReplyDeleteHOLY FOOD...I would have been in a damn coma, too, by 10pm. I think you need to frame that one of Chris...definitely a good angle. ;)
ReplyDeleteBest week ever...oh how I love thee. Can you do those daily? Please? Ok great. Thanks, BYE!
Whoa that food! I feel like I would burst! Sounds like you had a great night :) I didn't even hear about this Carnival ship incident... but I just read about it because I like to research things like that... So they had no power and no plumbing and this was catastrophic? We obviously need a lesson in camping for all of these passengers.
ReplyDeleteThat food looks amazing! Sounds like a great V-day.

Obviously I always love your Best Week Ever posts but this one had me especially cheery when I saw the "countdown" to summer at the end! I am the same way, I've been telling people that it's pretty much summer time since it was 65 here in Denver a few weeks ago. No one seems to be buying it just yet but I figure the more I push it on people, the more everyone will just accept that it's time to bust out the flip flops and short shorts!
ReplyDeleteA moscow mule without a copper mug. sketch. haha. happy valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I just found your blog and I'm your newest follower :) I'd love for you to follow my blog too. xo

This is by far my favorite of The daily Tay EVER! closed robes...Pope Paterno... God adapting...so much funny. I completely agree about Chris Dorner though. He's got a teddy bear face. And it may just be me but that Pope has a sinister look on his face in that picture. Then again, it's probably just his face.
