You're pretty cute for a red head...

The other night we went out with our dear friends Jake and Christy, sometimes I refer to them as our red-headed friends even though Jake doesn't have red hair.  Anyway, we went to dinner at the Elegant Farmer and then headed over to Cafe Eclectic for dessert.  We had a lovely evening full of laughter and good conversation.  Because Christy and I are both red heads, you can guarantee that at some point our conversation will revolve around the natural struggles that we redheads face.  For starters, why is it that guys always put redheads in their own category when talking about looks?  We are never grouped with all other women, us redheads are in our very own group... why is that?  So if a guy is talking about a red head that he finds attractive, he will probably say something like, " Yea she was pretty cute for a red head".  Now why does it have to be "for a red head"?  Can't we just BE attractive.  This was just one of the little red headed tangents we went on, along with discussing my future book about my life as a red head.

Sorry for the speech about the trials that we, the minority hair color, face on a regular basis. Back to our double date.  So our dinner was delicious!  Elegant Farmer uses a handful of local ingredients in all of their dishes, which makes me so happy. At Cafe Eclectic, Christy and I both had the Charlie Brown brownie, which is so far my second favorite dessert in Memphis, first is the brownie at Sweet Grass (only on their winter menu, don't go and ask for it now, you will be disappointed). Andrew and Jake both ordered the the Charlie Brown Sunday, which was very tasty, but not as good as our brownie, sorry guys.

Jake and Christy--thanks for such a fun night!
