"About Last Night..." Baby It's Cold Outside


Tuesday, December 1, 2009




As the cold weather kicks up, and the gloves and hats make their first appearance, I don't know about you, but this girl likes to get under the blanket and snuggle up to someone warm. Accompanied by a cozy good meal and a nice bottle of red! This weekend, it was all about finding the perfect take out, the perfect movie, and the perfect spot on the couch. The movie, was The Descent (I don't recommend). The couch was plush, the company was....indescribeably yummy, and the meal was off the charts. A perfect night. So here's the thing. If you live South of 83rd and East of Cicero, take this number down: 708-636-8180
Chi Tung. Make the call, and forty minutes later, almost without leaving your couch you will be in Take Out Heaven. EVERY man and woman should have on speed dial the perfect take out for these cold Chicago nights where the only thing you want to start is a fire. Chi Tung has been voted one of America's Top 10 Restaurants so even if you have to get in your car and get it I can assure you it's worth the gas. The menu has hundreds of options focusing on Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Hibatchi and of course, Sushi. There are three separate kitchens and Master Chefs that make this place run like a well oiled machine. Having sampled many of the entres on this menu I often resort to my favorite Chi Tung Fried Rice, Pot Stickers, Pork Egg Foo Young, and Chicken with Pan Fried Noodles. But you could seriously eat there every day of the year and never have the same thing. I have also tried several Sushi rolls and my favorite's are the Snow Mountain Crab Roll, and the Pink Lady - also works well for take out.

While I do love a night out with my little black dress, there are nights when trotting around in my favorite sweatshirt, and snuggling up with the perfect man trump everything. Make it a date night to remember...Fellas here's my marching orders: 1. clean up your place (bathroom included) 2. Get 6 Glade Vanilla candles (tear off labels) 3. Get a bottle of Red : Swanson La Ti Da (don't be cheap...spend some dime) 4. Rent a scary movie (snuggling is almost mandatory) 5. Find the perfect take out 6. Don't be clumsy...make a move :)

Enjoy. Life is short. Next Week: COMING TO YOU FROM MIAMI, FL!!!
