Double date, double the fun

This week, I went on a double date in Brea with Sharon and Andrew. We ate at Bucca di Beppo (oddly, it was my first time). The food was absolutely amazing, but it was still really difficult to finish even with hungry stomachs. The Penne Arrabbiata was really rich in flavor with a touch of spicy from the Italian sausage, but I liked the Baked Rigatoni better. I usually don't enjoy cheese all that much, but the combination of flavors was absolutely divine. Afterward, we stopped by Merely Sweets to try the macarons (another check off my bucket list!). Although they didn't have as many flavors as other macaron shoppes, the decor was beautiful. If I ever have the time again, I'll definitely have to go back to that area of Brea: it was a giant towne center! We ended our double date with watching Abduction while eating my failed-attempted red velvet cake balls. They were anything but aesthetically pleasing...though they were quite delicious!
