Another Thanksgiving over:( I had a great time relaxing in Maryland!! It was chilly though – I lasted about 15 minutes playing cornhole on Thanksgiving day, and then snuggled under a blanket until dinner. I’m not very good anyway… Matt’s sis was dog sitting this guy and he was adorable!!!! Just look at that fur! We all sampled and shared lots and lots of beers! We had a traditional spread of food and I made another pumpkin pie. This dairy-free…

Hi! Happy eve of Thanksgiving. I’m writing from the plane, where I enjoyed a glass of merlot and a Whole Foods salad. I was in such a rush that I forgot the salad dressing though, so it was kinda gross. But the wine and all the food I’ll eat tomorrow will make up for it. We’re spending the holiday with Matt’s family outside of Annapolis and I’m pumped for four days of relaxation and family time, plus the Allens’ awesome…
I’ve been recovering from a bad cold this week, so when Friday came around and I started to feel better, I was in the best mood! There’s nothing like being sick to make you appreciate being healthy. I didn’t want to do much on Friday, but hot broth sounded amazing, so Matt and I checked out a new ramen restaurant in Dallas called Tanoshii. I’m no ramen expert, so I have idea where Tanoshii falls on the spectrum in terms…
Where do I even start? NYC is just so amazing. And the food, oh the food!! I arrived on Thursday and was able to meet Matt for a quick lunch in Hell’s Kitchen. We dined at a Thai-French fusion cafe called Breeze and scored a little table right on the patio/sidewalk. The spicy duck salad and peanut curry shrimp were both tasty and lighter than your typical thai food. Perfect lunch! Matt had to get back to work, so I…
Even though I love restaurant week, I’ve had some bad experiences with it in the past – poor service, limited menu, or just blah food. When I heard about it in Dallas, I quickly went to OpenTable, but all the restaurants I wanted to try were booked. So after reading some reviews, I picked Salum. I probably wouldn’t have picked it otherwise, so I’m happy that I stumbled upon it! The weather has been perfect for strolling around the neighborhood!…
Hi Monday, I had a jam-packed weekend here in Dallas – so many fun things to see and eat! Thursday evening, we checked out the Sandbar Cantina for a friend’s birthday party. I was pretty excited to see this beach volleyball bar, as it was covered in white sand and seemed like a cool concept just outside of downtown. It was definitely a neat spot, although most of the volleyball courts were busy with league matches, so it doesn’t seem…
My absolute favorite part about moving to a new city is the exploration phase! Matt and I have been taking long walks at night, just strolling through the neighborhood and taking notes on all the cute places to eat and drink. We’ve been focusing on buying groceries and cooking at home during the week, but we ventured into the Knox-Henderson neighborhood on Friday for dinner at Fireside Pies. It was miserably hot, but there was no wait on the patio,…
Matt and I had plans to dine with friends at The Lantern yesterday, but it was closed for a private function! I was bummed because it was a spot I really wanted to get back to, but we went to the next best modern Asian restaurant – Jujube! Our dinner dates were into sharing too, so we split a bunch of small plates and then Matt and I shared an entree: warm kale salad with mangoes, pork belly dumplings, pineapple,…
Howdy, Sorry for being MIA – Matt and I got hit with a bug as soon as we got home from Dallas. I made it to work for a good 20 minutes on Monday before driving home and getting in bed, where I couldn’t move for 12 hours. Weird. When I woke up this morning and felt normal, I was in the best mood of my life because I was so happy it was over. Anyway, thanks for your sweet…
