A great song for a lazy Saturday afternoon

On a rainy spring weekend, I tuned to some slow ballads. My playlist is playing a relaxing ballad from the Bee Gees - "How Deep Is Your Love", one of my favorite song. I just love Barry Gibb's voice - so soothing yet passionate. 



I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn 
'Cause we're living in a world of fools 
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside 
That I really do

And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn 
'Cause we're living in a world of fools 
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

And you come to me on a summer breeze, 
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really need to learn 
'Cause we're living in a world of fools 
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Great dinner @ Blackbird

My fiance' and I went to Blackbird last Friday night.  @ Michelin rated one star restaurant, the menu looked sophisticated and amazing and the decor was minimalism and simple.

Overwhelmed with choices, we decided to try something different that night and stayed away from the traditional entrees like steak, chicken, fish, lobster.  We order the suckling pig for appetizer and creamy mussels soup. They were really savory and delightful.   For entrees we got the lamb saddle and rabbit saddle, the traditional game animals that are common on Chicago restaurant menus.  All came in small but decent portion and great presentation.  We liked the lamb but we LOVED the rabbit dish! The meat was so tender, wrapped with crispy fried skin. It was definitely the best rabbit dish I've had.

We order White Chocolate Mousse and Soft Valrhona Chocolate for dessert, but we also got a free bonus dessert for the small incident during the meal (not worth mentioning).  They were all great quality!  Price-wise, for a Michelin one star, this is relatively inexpensive.

Strongly recommended!
