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…
Amigos, something is still brewing in the sinus area and I was shivering all day because of the pouring rain. I considered leaving work early, but really didn’t have that option because of babysitting. And, I think part of being an adult is realizing that you can’t just skip work because of a looming sickness. Plus, I’ll take a cold over a stomach ache any day. Speaking of stomach, fish and potatoes was the most unappetizing idea for dinner, but…
It’s a good thing today was pancake Tuesday or I might not have gotten out of bed this morning. My sore throat hasn’t turned into anything, but my head is heavy and headachy. I just feel really weird, and though it could be the antibiotics, I think a cold is on its way. Work was busy busy today and my brain couldn’t keep up with my actions. The squash continues — mashed and in the form of butternut squash chicken…
Sundays have become my baking day! I made a really simple apple crisp with oatmeal, brown sugar, butter, and flower because tomorrow is one of my supervisor’s birthdays. I love baking, but let’s be honest, I don’t do it often because I have no self-control around desserts; although, this whole no soy thing has actually required quite a bit of self-control, especially around chocolate. If you ever see soy-free chocolate chips, I beg you, mail them to me! I gave…
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…
Anyone have an exciting Friday? I started mine with another brew from our Just Beer collection… The Moby D doesn’t have huge flavor but it’s dark, smooth, and malty. A good beer if you plan on having more than one drink or are trying to fit pizza in your stomach as well…. I finally made homemade crust!! I found this recipe for thin crust in my new Best of Food & Wine cookbook from Matt’s parents. It was so easy…
We have a grey, rainy day here. The upside is that the hot temps and humidity are gone and the weekend is supposed to be beautiful. Before I tell you about my day, here’s this week’s fashion Friday: I think I look progressively more tired in each snapshot… I spent the day at a special school for children with Autism. The school was awesome and the student we observed had made incredible progress. I was amazed by the teachers’ ability…
