Zen Sushi and Cherry Wheat Beer

Last night was incredibly hot in Boston and definitely not an evening for cooking. This past week has been really busy for me and I’ve had a lot of late evenings followed by early morning wake-ups. I was really looking forward to a low-key Friday evening consisting of an early dinner, catching up on my DVR and heading to bed real early.

Meghan’s recent blog post about sushi and sangria had me craving sushi for dinner. Plus, it gave us the opportunity to order sushi take-out one last time from our favorite neighborhood sushi spot – Zen Japanese Grill and Sushi Bar.

We ordered quite a spread of sushi. The hot weather had us craving a cold fruity beer so I picked up some Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat beer to help wash down the sushi.

We have a jam-packed weekend coming up filled with family, friends, good food, and of course, more moving errands. A low-key Friday night helped me get the rest I needed to re-energize for the rest of the weekend.

Tell me, what fun things do you have planned for this hot summer weekend?
