Heartbreaker

We girls are strong creatures but every once and awhile someone or something comes along and knocks us on our ass. I've decided that there are seven "for sures" that happen when your heart is broken.
1) The gut retching, non stop sobbing resulting in collapsing to the floor and wondering if you will ever be able to get up. (when is the last time I vacuumed?)
2) Food loses all taste resulting in immediate weight loss. (why couldn't this have happened before my high school reunion-damn!)
3) There is no such thing as "waterproof" mascara, period.
4) Some sadistic radio DJ has decided to play every love song ever written for the next 72 hours, "commercial free." (easy listening, my ass!) 

5) You become a frequent flyer at the liquor store and the check out boy stops asking "how are you?" he just hands you a tissue and your brown bag.  
6) For an added bonus round in break up Hell you get to see your ex update his profile on Facebook (sure miss the days of photo burning rituals)
7)  The revolving door of girlfriends listening to your pain and making sure in a weak moment of desperation there will be no drunk dialing/texting. (a full time job) 
Take a break from the insanity, grab your girlfriends and start reintroducing food into your diet with Sample Circuit.  We went to OM for some enlightenment last week and enjoyed the Contemporary Indian Cusine.
Where: OM Minneapolis
What to expect: Experiencing the fabulous foods of Indian cusine, sampling wines to complement them and enjoying Crispin cider (I really like the Saint)  My favorite samples were the Fenugreek Lamb Chops,Tandoori Chicken Kabobs, Tapioca Pearl Fritters, Konkan Wild Salmon and the Squash and Lentil Casserole.   Get to OM to try all these delights.  
What does it cost?: Just $40 for a wonderful two hours of tasting and conversation. Next Sample Circuit event is at Moto-i on Thursday, April 29th at 5:30 Click here to buy.
Gigi's tip: Get there early so you get a chance to speak with the wine representative from MVP wines.   I swore off Rose wine (bad Franzia experience in the 90's) until I was educated on the nuances of Rose by Chateau Saint Baillon, which is 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache grape. (Thank you Kevin!)
