BUMP IS OLD!!! Bumpy Truck had a birthday and we went to Boxing Donkey for some post-Christmas grub and booze. We took over most of the main area with a really good showing of Drunks! Their was a blow up reindeer that deflated and tried to trap us cause that happens.

Between the Guinness and the gin & tonics - we were happy drunks. We missed happy hour but then found out they serve tater tots now! Oh, yeah, that's right. Grilled sandwiches, burgers AND tater tots? Holy fried-potatoes Batman.

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug

And now, a review of the Hobbit by The Jenny...

My review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Long movie. However, less long/boring than its predecessor. Beorn, while formidable as a bear, kinda looks like Teen Wolf when he changes. Scary realistic looking giant spiders! Magic spider translation ring of power! "What's that? What's that?" Elves have such pretty hair, like they just stepped out of a salon. Not sure who's hair was prettier, Tauriel or Thranduil. Also, I thought elves didn't get drunk. BARRELS! Wooo! Most epic flume ride ever. Recursive Infinite Saurons! White orb vs. black smoke. Scary voice! Wait. Pugs cannot live in Lake-town! They don't swim and dislike the cold. I think they don't like Bard in that town because he's the only one who seems to shower and he doesn't have festering boils on his face. Should rename the place Harkonnen City. Good thing the dwarf-loving lady-elf got written in to the story, she seems real handy to have around. Sweet dragon with sooo much treasure. Slinking around under the mountain. He's going to get himself into trouble being that smug. Smawwwg. Giant butter dwarf! Those pugs in Lake-town are going to pay now... ‎

 

Masullo & Scribby's Birthday

It was my birthday so I picked Masullo. I seem to come here every other year for my birthday Thursday (trading with Magpie Cafe for the other years). Robert the owner is very nice and always takes care of us even though we are a large group that sort of shows up and eats in shifts - drunks with kids starting early and drinks without kids showing up later.

The pizzas are amazing - best in Sacramento! They have a great selection of wines, antipasti and their salads are great too. We were lucky enough to have the husband of the lovely lady that supplies some of their wines and he asked for the Palazzo Della Torre which is sort of a baby Amarone without the cost. It was amazing. We had at least four bottles of that one.

The Bump tried on small puffy vests of girls, we ate lots of desserts and generally enjoyed the evening.

Cafe Marika & Brian's Birthday

2011 J St
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 442-0405

This place is a tiny little gem in the middle of Midtown Sacramento. Run by just a husband and wife and seating about 20 people it is a small operation to say the least. The menu is short but everything is delicious. Homemade spatzel, rich sauces and spices make all the food good. Just beer & wine, but that's okay.

It was Brian's birthday and he is continuing the tradition of asking for toys that he then donates to Toys for Tots. It's a fun was to make him open pink unicorns or buy those toys that you've always wanted but don't really need.

A little kid at the counter could not stop staring at the gifts since it was like a Christmas parade of things he wanted.
