Hummus on Hummus

Cooking The Working World

Hi, How’s the going? I can’t believe it’s Friday again (almost). The four-day work week is so nice, but makes for more work crammed into four days! Work is picking up and I’m getting more comfortable with my buildings. But I’m still completely wiped out. I’ll just never be good at getting up at 6. I want to be good at it, I really do. At least I’m good at eating. I wanted to make something new this week, so…

No-Plans Weekend

Durham Restaurants

Because we were waiting on Kath’s baby and thought we might go up to Virginia if he was born, we had absolutely no plans this weekend. Usually, we travel on long weekends or at least go to a bbq, but we really had nothing to attend. That never happens! After a somewhat crazy summer, it was won-der-ful! Aside from getting a ton done around the house and working hard on wedding stuff (and some honeymoon planning!), I drank my first…

Back in Bull City

Durham Restaurants

It’s so nice to be back! I’ve been trying to get settled and organized because we’re going out of town next week and then I start work. I’m generally resisting the urge to hit some of my favorite spots, but I did go to dinner with my parents at Bull City Burger. The beers change so frequently, I just can’t keep up with them! This was a chocolate stout, a porter, and a summer amber. They were all tasty, but…

Baby, BBQ, Brunch

Travel

I’m back in the ATL for the final stretch, but going back to NC this weekend made me sooo ready to get back to Durham and regular life! If you are just tuning in, I traveled home to go my sister’s baby shower. She’s due in just a few short weeks!!! I went home on Thursday night, which means I got to go wedding dress shopping with my mom on Friday!! No purchases yet, but def. found some dresses that…

Atlanta Stay-Cation

Cooking

Happy holiday week! Is anyone else having the heat wave? I’ve just about sweat through everything I own. So, back to the weekend. I arrived back in Atlanta on Thursday with my parents, feeling quite excited about the recent development (thanks for the comments:)) Matt was working late, so I took my parents to a New Orleans oyster house. We sat outside, pretending to be on Bourbon St. The roasted oysters were great! I hate the raw ones because I…

Both Sets

Uncategorized

Well, it’s been a very hooot and crazy-fun weekend. A visit with both sets of parents means lots of beer drinking and also shopping for bridesmaids and mother of the groom dresses (which was a success!!) Matt’s parents are still here for the day, so I’ll post a recap when I get a moment this evening.…

Wedding in the Gardens

Travel

I’m back in Atlanta after a week at home for wedding planning and a weekend trip to my cousin’s wedding! The wedding was amazing and soo sweet. It took place in an outdoor chapel, so I got front row seating. The ceremony was quite emotional and very beautiful. I think it made Matt and I nervous to say our vows:) My cousin Chris (the bride’s brother), is a talented musician and he performed during the ceremony – you can hear…

Week At Home

Travel

Howdy, I’ve been trying to relax at home this week, but things have been hectic as usual. There’s some complications with my job in the fall (that I hope to share with you soon), so I’ve been dealing with that since Monday. In between that, I’ve been feasting on watermelon, cooking tilapia burgers for my parents, and attempting to come up with a guest list that’s less than 160 people (not fun). This evening, I had dinner with a friend…

No Stress to High Stress

Travel

I was having one of those lazy mornings in Atlanta. I packed for my trip home, cleaned up the kitchen, looked at wedding cakes online, and went for a run. I had planned my morning so that I could make lunch and then take public transportation to the airport for my flight home (I’m flying because we’re going straight to a wedding and then I’m flying back to Atlanta). So at 12:30, while I was eating my sandwich, I was…
