Yesterday’s happy hour was actually four hours of happiness with fun girlfriends:) I had two of these guys on the rocks sans salt. The first sip tasted like a warm, tropical vacation. After lots of chatting, we ordered dinner at the bar. Shrimp and crawfish quesadilla…need I say more? I had half of this guy and brought the other half home to Matt who was delighted to receive leftovers of the best mexican meal in Boston. I had one…

Jack Frost was knocking at my door this morning…since when is it winter? Thank goodness today was the second to last day of Jon’s soccer practice because I was freezing at babysitting. I had on a long sweater and a full pea coat, but I just don’t do well with cold. I was also hungry and tired after work, so I was pretty darn excited to have this all ready when I came home (it’s just chicken with bbq sauce…
An orange squash brought much joy to my life last night. I dressed up as a lobster, met up with a vampire… as well as a cop and a hunter… and headed to a pumpkin beer festival at the Cambridge Brewing Company!!!!!!! When we arrived, there was a huge wait, but we braved the cold for an hour and a half because we LOVE beer. It was totally worth it in the end. We were ravenous when we finally got…
Top of the mornin to you, Look who came out from the back of the fridge last night! The king of pumpkin beers was just as good as I remember, and soo strong. The bock was enjoyable too, but I think our stash of Just Beer brews from this summer is starting to reach its shelf life because it seemed like carbonation was lacking (does that happen?) I didn’t buy anything at DSW, but I ruled out a couple of…
Yesterday was delightful. The other intern and practicum students at work were kind enough to bring in lots of treats in celebration of my birthday (and the other fall birthdays at work). I didn’t try everything (because of soy lecithin), but these pumpkin cookies (made by Lauren) were awesome and almost cake-like. I also had some homemade apple crisp made with apples picked over the weekend! I felt a little lost after work because I didn’t know if I should…
After church and visiting with a college friend (!), Matt and I drove over to Chapel Hill for lunch. We went to one of my favorite sandwich places, Foster’s Market. Chapel Hill just has so many cute restaurants! I got an incredible Cuban, which was massive and meaty. I had to hand some of it over to Matt, who was very appreciative. Look what we found at Weaver Street Market…soy-free chocolate!!!! I broke right into this caramel…
Another beautiful day in the Carolinas… — Last night was just delightful. We stopped at a new bar in downtown durham for a round of beers…. And then we made our way to Watt’s Grocery for dinner. This place has been on my list ever since I read about it on Be Fit, Be Full! Oh man, these were probably the BEST hushpuppies I’ve ever tasted. They were so thick that they reminded me of pound cake! I had a…
Howdy from the plane! Ten years ago, who would have thought that I could capture a digital image while flying through the air, blog about it, and display the imagine on a site that can be accessed by any person on the internet? Did I mention that while all this is going on, I’m also watching a personal movie about Tina Fey having a baby through a surrogate mother? Oh, technology. Fashion Friday anyone? I spent most of my…
Yesterday, Matt came home with this: He found it right around the corner at our local liquor store!!! But, because we’ve had Pumking a lot lately, we decided to save it and have these instead: The Octoberfest was awesome, but in a kind of generic way. The pumpkin ale, on the other hand, is going up there on my list because it was on the stronger side (how I like them) and a little spicy. Matt and I split these…
