Celebration night at Luma!  The Husband passed his third of four board exams, and he’s that much closer to be a licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine!

Luma is a great restaurant in Winter Park in Orlando.  It’s a pretty high-class neighborhood.  There was a Rolls Royce Phantom parked outside the restaurant!

Dannnnnnng!

 

Luma is a very pretty restaurant. Super swanky, very modern.  I love the huge wine room – it’s the centerpiece of the entire restaurant.

Also loved the heavy beads separating the bathrooms from the dining area.

We started off with a bottle of Zinfandel.  I didn’t want to abstain completely, but I am running an 8K “fun race” tomorrow so I only had a small glass.

 

I ordered the Hearts of Romaine salad.

And Nick (my brother-in-law) and I split the vegetarian pizza.

I had two slices.  It was really good, but kind of salty.

A fun night, but we stayed out wayyyy too late, and now I’m pooped!

 

Oh, earlier today I had crackers and almond butter.

OK – bed time!  See you later with a race recap:)

Those water crackers (or whatever they’re called) are soooo addicting!

That restaurant looks like a super high class place celebrities would in NYC or LA!

Erin April 17, 2010 at 9:17 am

Is the husband’s program really called “Oriental” medicine? I thought that term was considered pejorative. (I’m not trying to be rude, I’m really just curious…maybe it’s different when referring to medicine as opposed to people or a group of people). Good luck in the race!

Reply

Caitlin April 17, 2010 at 9:44 am

yes! it is really called oriental medicine. this is a good question (i’ve addressed it before in the comments section but never in a post). so, it’s rude to call PEOPLE oriental but not objects (like rugs) or medicine (like the husband’s degree). i’ve asked asian people this and they agree.

Your hubby’s exam passing is definitely worthy of a swanky restaurant! I love places like that, and people watching :) The pizza looks great, and a little wine may be an even better thing for the race today.
