I’ve got another restaurant experience to tell you about. It was so good that I just have to share! Matt parents took us to the Iberian Pig in Decatur when they were visiting. ALL the tapas were devine, so there’s really no need for me to tell you how delicious, fabulous, unique, mouth-watering each dish was. I’ll just leave you with the description of what I tried, and know that any positive adjective would probably fit:) Drunken goat cheese (soaked…

That epic dinner on Saturday? It took place at Leon’s in Decatur, a gem that many of you recommended! T’was my restaurant soul mate. Why? Because there was outdoor seating, old garage doors that open in the summer, a long beer list, reasonable prices, a strong menu, a casual atmosphere, a feeling of excitement, and a great dessert. Leon’s has it all. I started with a solid red wine. I think it was a tempranillo, or something full and earthy.…
Guys, my weekend was absolutely packed!! Matt and I are trying to explore as much as possible, as we only have 3 free weekends left in Atlanta (we’re traveling a lot in July for various events). I’m exhausted, but so so content:) I’m gonna give you the quick version of the weekend recap: Prickly pear margaritas and seafood paella at La Fonda Hiking to the top of Stone Mountain Tastes of beer at the Tap in Midtown Delicious shrimp, fish,…
Well, summer is off to a great start (knock on wood)! This weekend was totally relaxing and packed with awesome food. Our neighborhood seems so peaceful and I feel happier than I have in weeks. Matt just finished his first week of his internship, so he was pretty much content just resting and eating all weekend. Friday night, we headed to Decatur for dinner. LOVE this area! I could definitely see myself here as a 30-something. We grabbed a beer…
So last Friday, I mentioned that we went to the famous Magnolia Grill. It’s closing at the end of the month, and it’s THE restaurant that put farm-to-fork southern cooking on the map. We had a gift card…I knew we had to go. The restaurant was packed to the brim, but we were seated at a small two-top in the corner of the bar. The waitress rushed over to us several times while we were looking over it to inform…
I have lots to share from our travels to Charlottesville and VA wine country! Too much for one post and since Ecto would probably have a heart attack with all the pictures, I’ll have to split it up, starting with last night’s dinner – easily the highlight of the trip! Kath & Kanz live in a walkable neighborhood, so we hit the sidewalk to get to our dinner destination: the famous Commonwealth restaurant and it’s rooftop Skybar. Every time Kath…
Can you tell these guys are pumped to be on spring break? I went to Target today and the store was full of cute beach bags and bathing suits. I want to go to the beach! Good thing we’re on the verge of spring down here – lots of flowers are popping up! So this picture is from Friday’s happy hour with some of Matt’s classmates. We went to beer heaven Tyler’s Tap, and I had a refreshing Bell’s Sparkling…
Hello, This weekend felt surprisingly long. Probably because I didn’t have to work on Friday. It felt so amazing on Thursday evening when I remembered! I feel very lucky to be on this little detour in my career path right now:) Saturday evening was the highlight of my weekend. My parents took us to Raleigh for dinner and we tried the new Beasley’s Chicken & Honey. It was a cold and rainy night, perfect for some southern food. The atmosphere…
A crystal clear sunset to a dark and stormy drink. Heavenly. The crab bruschetta and the lobster & escargot with sweet peas, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes over a puff pastry cake in an herb cream sauce. Extraordinary. A day on the beach. Refreshing. Games by the fire and a nap in a big arm chair. Relaxing. A beer with a breathtaking view. Phenomenal. A break from the real world. Fabulous…
