What a wonderful day with family! Kath, Kanz, + Karen, and Matt’s family all arrived this afternoon just before cocktail hour. I had a a big old mug of Kanz’s home-brewed double. We made lite sandwiches to keep our stomach’s from growling during church… Our group braved the cold and walked downtown. We sang all the usual hymns and shared the flame to spread the Christmas cheer. Once home, we gathered around the tree for the yearly Younger buffet and gift…
The Christmas partying continued at one of my friend’s houses right across the street from mine. His parents have a party every year and the food is always awesome. This year’s spread was Mediterranean inspired. I had a little of everything, including some un-pictured fudge, caramel popcorn corn, and truffles. I didn’t taste anything I didn’t love over the course of the evening! The booze was flowing so I also enjoyed a few lovely glasses of red vino. ‘ Santa…
Whew. This trip has already been quite a whirlwind of excitement. Yesterday, we went straight from the airport to Durham to apartment hunt. And, boy did we see a few things we liked… We’re going back tomorrow and may even make a decision while we’re here! Unfortunately, my bad headache returned yesterday afternoon and I had to go to bed instead of working out. I guess I’ve just had a lot on my mind and, combined with lack of sleep,…
Man, have I eaten well in 2010. I have so much good food to share with you guys. I’ll start with yesterday’s dinner because I didn’t get to it last night. In the spirit of using up every morsel in our house before heading to NC, I decided to get rid of these chip crumbs in Sunday’s dinner. I crunched the tortillas a bit with my hands and then combined them with paprika, salt, and pepper and dipped egg-white covered…
Gotta love nachos. When I was in middle school I used to melt american cheese over tortilla chips in the microwave every day after school (nutritious, I know). Now I rarely get to indulge, so I was pretty excited to make a dent in this platter at happy hour yesterday. We went to Sunset Cantina, which is famous for bar food and a decent beer list. We also ordered fried pickles (which I usually like), but I thought these were…
After work today, I headed to Matt’s holiday party at the office. I really didn’t feel like getting un-dressed to go to the gym and then showering and getting dressed and re-doing hair and makeup all over again, so I decided a walk would be the better option today. I ended up walking from my apt to Matt’s office downtown, which is no big deal in the summer (~3 miles), but this was an accomplishment in the cold temps. To…

I slept late today because I’m still recovering from my trip. Speaking of the weekend, I thought my recent festivities might be a good…
As promised, here’s a recap of my last night in DC. You can read the events leading up to this evening here. While Lizzie and I showered in preparation for the evening festivities, I cracked open the 21st Amendment Watermelon Beer. I think I must have had really high expectations for this beer because I was disappointed with the first sip. Since it’s a wheat beer, I expected it to be thick like some of the other wheat beers I…
