I know I post too much about food, specifically eating grilled cheese from Melt, but today they had something really fun. Look at this mysterious bucket. It's part of the Russian Roulette Frankenstein Melt where you pick four random cards and they take those ingredients to make your sandwich. The ingredients that I got were really good together, but the server was telling us about people getting weird stuff perogi, corned beef, turkey, and peanut butter sandwiches.
After work, we went searching in a swamp. Every year, as soon as the weather starts to warm up, it triggers the salamanders (this red phase one has a black tail) to wake up and make babies. Our area has special Yellow-spotted Salamanders that we've been going to see every spring for the last three years. Get ready for picture overload, because I think they look awesome and get really excited whenever I see one. Nicole thinks their little faces look like they're smiling. I think this frog looks suspicious of me for taking his picture. Plus the salamanders tend to crawl very slowly so they kind of pose for portraits. They even do group shots like this. This is a Red-backed Salamander. I think it looks like he's wearing glitter. Glitter all over its body. I was very excited about another sure sign of spring last night. Spring peepers and various other types of frogs with different patterns. This is a Wood Frog. Here's a frog swimming over a salamander. This might be one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken. Here's a picture with a blade of grass for scale. It's hard to belive such a tiny thing can make such loud noises with its little bubble neck.
After cleaning the swamp off of me, we went to the Arcade downtown to The Chocolate Bar. Dessert Week is winding down, but we had to find chocolate mousse before Nicole's birthday could really be considered complete. There was also more creme brulee.
