There’s really nothing better than pizza and wine. Actually, there is – gourmet pizza and wine with friends… These lovely ladies (and the men) and I went to the new Pizzeria Toro for a late birthday celebration. The restaurant is a adorable, but small, and we were told there would be over an hour wait for a table. Luckily, we were seated after only 30 minutes! Our table shared pizzas topped with… oyster mushrooms and truffle cheese, delicatta squash, gorgonzola,…

Chilly and gray weather made for a cozy and productive day at work. Yet another one of my schools turned on the heat this week, and I saw 73 degrees in my office for the first time this year! Things are also picking up, so it was one of those days where the work to breathing-time ratio was perfect and I came home with a bit of energy left and quite a few things check off my list. My motivation…
After I spent all of Friday on the couch, recovering from my mysterious sickness, I finally felt ok to shower and eat dinner that evening. It felt nice, actually, to just spend a Friday night in with a movie – Matt and I watched Nothing But The Truth, and I really enjoyed it! It was pretty fascinating. On Saturday, we took a quick one nighter trip to Charlotte to visit friends. One of my college friends lives in Asheville, and…
Last night was a blast – Ingrid was phenomenal and Rufus was hilarious! Before the show, we had a delicious Aviator winter beer – I promise to update my beer page soon! It seems like incredible Belgians and high gravity seasonals are the only brews that make the list these days… I made a big batch of sweet potato and black bean enchiladas – haven’t made these in forever! I think they are better reheated than fresh out of the…
Happy happy Monday! I’m in a good mood because I’m going to the Ingrid Michaelson and Rufus Wainwight concert tonight! I love Ingrid, and know she puts on a good show, so Matt got me tickets for my birthday. He’s never seen her live, so I think he was pretty excited about this gift too! We’ll probably pre-game with autumn beers, and then I’m going to try my best to stay up way past my bedtime to enjoy the show.…
This weekend was such a blast. An anniversary celebration and a trip to the lake all in one! Since Friday was our seven year, Matt and I celebrated with a big bottle of Kasteel Rouge after work. This is the sweet cherry coke beer we discovered in Atlanta. It’s more like drinking a pink champagne than a beer, but it’s soo good! Then we got dressed up and walked to Revolution for dinner. This was our fourth time – we…
Man, I love fall weekends. Except when it’s freezing and rainy and there’s a leak in my bedroom! But really, I have no complaints about the weekend. Friday, I barely made it out of the house, but we ended up grabbing dinner at Six Plates wine bar. A friend of ours got a major job offer and invited us to celebrate with a bottle of champagne! Of course I didn’t have my camera because I didn’t know I was going…
It was one of those fabulous weekends. The sun was shining, the temps were perfect, and I had the whole weekend free to play. I did a bit of everything – relaxing, cleaning, organizing, exercising, eating, drinking, friending. Friday started with drinks and dinner at Fuqua Friday, and then Matt and I came home for a movie night. We watched Reality Bites, a movie that I’ve actually never seen, despite having listened to the soundtrack a million times. I really…
I had another great day in the classroom! It almost gave me the itch to go back to school…and then I remembered that education costs a fortune. And I can’t spend a fortune, because I need beer money… I had planned on going to the Davidson soccer game along with a pre-game gathering in Chapel Hill this evening, but it got rained out. So Matt and I grabbed a beer instead! It was quite exciting because Matt has been so…
