My sister is in town because we are traveling to San Francisco to attend the annual Foodbuzz festival (my first!!) tomorrow. Since my Dad just had a birthday, my family gathered in Durham for an evening of celebration. We started at my apartment with some Prosecco that I received as a gift at my Halloween party. Yumm, this was good and very refreshing after a four-day (!) work week. We headed to dinner at Bull City burger, an awesome brewery…

Last night’s festivities were so.much.fun. I just wish the evening didn’t have to end so quickly. Poor Matt had to stay at the library, so my mom & dad picked me up for a progressive birthday celebration. My dad planned an evening in Carrboro to ensure that there wouldn’t be any repeat restaurants. I love trying new places! Our first stop was the Milltown patio for the extensive beer list. I had the Bosteels Tripel Karmeliet and boy was it…
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.…
When I lived in Boston I used to think: it would be nice to just get in my car and drive home. That’s what I did today! I headed to Hillsborough after work for a mother-daughter dinner at one of Churton Street’s cute cafes: The Gulf Rim. Though there are only a few restaurants in Hillsborough, I think I’ve only eaten here once and now I love it! I’m on a big southern food kick and Gulf rim is creole…
Charlottesville was a blast. Hi Kanz. Saturday, we drove straight to Great Harvest. This was the first time I’d had seen the bakery and the final product is very impressive. I started drooling immediately upon seeing the sweets. I could not work here because I would eat all the products! As much as I love sweets though, the bread really is the best part. I had half of a sandwich and split a snicker-doodle and blondie with Matt Both were…
Hi there and happy holiday weekend! I apologize that I’ve been MIA. I was out of commission yesterday morning and then I entertained parents last night. It’s already been an amazing weekend and there’s still another day to go!!! These long weekends are ten times more meaningful now that I’m working and have no vacation days! And to top it off, I got to leave work at 3 on Friday. I was overjoyed to get some extra free time and…
Man, I love weekends. And I love eating out. But you guys already knew that. Last night, my parents took us to Cuban Revolution at American Tobacco. Though we hadn’t heard great things about the food, my dad and I love restaurant.com and couldn’t turn down a $25 gift certificate. The weather was a bit cooler yesterday so we were able to enjoy the patio without sweating. I ordered white sangria, but it was pretty watery and plain, so I…
It sure is hot here, but I’m in love with our outdoor space. It’s the one thing I really wanted in Boston but we were not able to afford it up there. Now we have a small deck!!! Last night, we officially cooked our first dinner in the new kitchen: tilapia with strawberry sauce, rice, and brussels. It was nice and light, but a bit bland because I forgot to buy butter! It’s something that’s almost always in our fridge,…
