hola. I guess nobody wanted to share what kind of tacos you like on yesterday’s post. That’s ok. Maybe you all like all kinds of tacos. Anyway, the reason for all this taco talk is that I tried the new Nana Taco last night. For those of you who are not familiar with Durham, Nana’s is a famous upscale restaurant that’s been open for years (I’ve never been). In contrast to Nana’s, Nana Taco is an inexpensive, casual taco shack.…

My Mom & Dad took me out for tacos and a movie tonight and it’s way past my bedtime! It’s nice to have a night off every now and then. What’s your favorite kind of taco? I’m a huge fan of fish tacos, but spicy pork tacos are a close second.…
Happiness is… watching six episodes of House Hunters in a row, a double date on a Sunday night, a half pint of Lagunitas Little Sumpin, and a huge veggie grilled cheese at the Federal. Happiness is planning your halloween costume with your best friends, the end of a Monday, a trail walk with the girls, and having eggs and cereal for dinner. If happiness is all of these moments, then what is everything in between?…
I had some really wonderful food this weekend (what’s new?)I heart Durham restaurants. Saturday night was declared date night, so after enjoying a beer at home, Matt and I walked over to Pop’s to use a Living Social gift certificate. For those of you who asked about my haircut, here it is. It looks exactly the same to me, and sadly, it’s getting more and more brown each year:( I had a fabulous red wine at dinner. The season…
Hello, Hello. A rainy, cold Friday makes for a miserable day at work. A rainy, hot Saturday makes for a productive and cozy day at home!! Laundry, spinning, grocery shopping (who knew Harris Teeter was so expensive!?), cleaning – I’d say it was a success. Last night was also quite successful. I went to Fuqua Friday, and because it was Octoberfest night, I enjoyed a free pint of Palm (an all-time favorite beer). I had intended to try the other…
Matt and I had the end-of-weekend blues yesterday, and since we ate free junk food all weekend long, we ventured out for an Asian feast. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Mount Fuji and it just happens to be across the street. Splitting a three course meal is my favorite way to save money and maximize variety. We started with one last taste of summer – shrimp and basil spring rolls. These were a bit boring on their own,…
Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight. I’m glad yall enjoyed the Grand Tour. Looking back, I put a lot of work into decorating the apartment and I’m happy to be able to just sit back and enjoy it. I’m especially enjoying the couch these days. I think a combination of the long weekend and too much partying threw off my circadian rhythm because I’m back to the zombie woman and headaches that I experienced in my first weeks of work.…
Today’s weather was peerrfect. I don’t remember it getting this cool this early in the year though. I guess this is atypical? Matt took me to Foster’s Market for dinner tonight in honor of finishing his first round of business school exams. Foster’s is an adorable marketplace with salads, sandwiches, baked goods, and a daily hot food item. I used to go to the Chapel Hill location growing up, but have never been to the Durham one. We sat outside…
Happy Hurricane. Is it windy and rainy where you are? There are lots of trees down around here with a few power outages, but I think the worst is over. Last night, I had a good old date night. Matt and I dined at Dos Perros, a Durham restaurant that’s been high on my list since moving. We sat at the bar since we didn’t plan on having a full dinner. It had a swanky, urban vibe with exposed brick…
