Last night I hosted a dinner for my best friends from high school. Oh, how wonderful it was to see everyone and finally really relax!! I provided the adult beverages and Kath’s/Karen’s wonderful veggie lasagna, and everyone else brought the rest. I had an eggnog + bourbon and another Sweetwater Festive, but had to stop halfway through this beer because of a bad headache:( I think the exhaustion of the week caught up with me. But, I still managed to…

Another quick hello tonight. I had to do some grocery shopping this evening and then ate a quick dinner before heading to the movies with friends. Dinners have been pretty random these past two weeks because all the running around hasn’t left much time for cooking. Tonight I had a boring ham + avocado sandwich and fries. But I did have a great beer: Twas a mix between a wine cooler (I have fond memories of these, unlike many others),…
Hello, Hello! Thank you all for the kind words. I’m honestly a bit scared about the decision and I felt better reading your comments:) A great weight was lifted off my shoulders on Friday, so my weekend was extra fabulous. After work, I made a black bean mexican pizza and enjoyed an old favorite beer with Matt. The weekend also involved a festive tacky sweater party, and a red velvet cupcake tasting. I’m in charge of ordering the Christmas dinner…
1. I think the reintroduction of caffeine has thrown off my brain. I’ve felt quite strange lately. 2. Another Christmas party, another awesome winter beer. Fall and winter beers are the best. 3. Tonight was a Davidson gathering – it’s always nice to reconnect and meet new alum. 4. I snacked on a pulled pork sandwich and some awesome pimento cheese for dinner. 5. I had to pack 154 FexEx boxes at work today because my work study student didn’t…
1. It’s only 8, and I’m already on my second Christmas movie on the lifetime movie network. I just love seeing the holiday parties, the festive attire, and the perfect houses decked with candles and lights. 2. I’ve been extra hungry all week and I’ve had to supplement dinner with a bowl of cereal. I wonder if it’s seasonal or hormonal? 3. You must make Angela’s avocado pasta! It’s creamy and bursting with flavor and made me feel like I…
Rainy day = going out for a beer! Matt penciled me in for an hour this evening, so I’ve got to change into stretch pants and head out the door. But first, a calzone. I stuffed this with pesto, cheddar and colby, arugula, and banana peppers. But the dough, oh the dough, is what made this awesome. Whole wheat pizza dough has redeemed itself. Maybe it just tastes better in calzone form? Looks like a huge empanada! He could…
Tuesdays are never my friend. I’m not sure why, but I’m never feeling my best. And today was hormonal and a Tuesday. It was really a good day though; I just didn’t feel like doing any thing and my work tasks were bugging me. I’m usually just a social drinker, but tonight, a solo beer was in order. The choices in the fridge were this or Coors (left over from Halloween). I actually do enjoy a Negra. Especially on la…
Howdy. I’m absolutely loving my time off – longest time away from work since I started in July! Given our change in plans, Matt and I decided to spend the rest of our weekend in Charlottesville, visiting Kath and Kanz and my parents. We arrived just in time for a Thanksgiving lunch on Friday. THIS WAS SO GOOD. I love getting to try other people’s Thanksgivings. Above, a pie sampler. After a little digestion, we hiked up Humpback rock for…
Between 2 and 9 o’clock, I had tastes, sips, or pours of all of the following – handpicked by Matt’s mom based on my beer page and preferences. I LOVED them all!! Sooo spoiled:) The weather was so beautiful today; Matt and I went for a jog this morning and then we sat outside, just drinking and talking for a good part of the afternoon. Twas glorious and I’m so thankful to be living in the South! Around 4:30, we…
