Since our family loooves to celebrate everything with food, we dined at L’Uva for my Dad’s birthday! It’s an Italian restaurant that’s fairly new in Durham and I really haven’t heard much about it. After seeing the seasonal and awesome menu (and the really reasonable prices), I thought it would be a good place for a nice dinner. And now I would definitely recommend it! But first, we stopped into Pinhook for a beer and conversation! Like any good Italian…

After I spent all of Friday on the couch, recovering from my mysterious sickness, I finally felt ok to shower and eat dinner that evening. It felt nice, actually, to just spend a Friday night in with a movie – Matt and I watched Nothing But The Truth, and I really enjoyed it! It was pretty fascinating. On Saturday, we took a quick one nighter trip to Charlotte to visit friends. One of my college friends lives in Asheville, and…
Happy happy Monday! I’m in a good mood because I’m going to the Ingrid Michaelson and Rufus Wainwight concert tonight! I love Ingrid, and know she puts on a good show, so Matt got me tickets for my birthday. He’s never seen her live, so I think he was pretty excited about this gift too! We’ll probably pre-game with autumn beers, and then I’m going to try my best to stay up way past my bedtime to enjoy the show.…
What a wonderful birthday it was! I felt like such a lucky girl all day long on Thursday! I actually had a crazy day at work with meetings and dealing with a suspension, so the day flew by. After work, I took myself on a jog and then showered for a night of celebrating. My parents came over, and we opened a Sangiovese from the NY Times Wine list (best present ever from Matt’s parents ~ 2 years ago). …
This weekend was such a blast. An anniversary celebration and a trip to the lake all in one! Since Friday was our seven year, Matt and I celebrated with a big bottle of Kasteel Rouge after work. This is the sweet cherry coke beer we discovered in Atlanta. It’s more like drinking a pink champagne than a beer, but it’s soo good! Then we got dressed up and walked to Revolution for dinner. This was our fourth time – we…
Man, I love fall weekends. Except when it’s freezing and rainy and there’s a leak in my bedroom! But really, I have no complaints about the weekend. Friday, I barely made it out of the house, but we ended up grabbing dinner at Six Plates wine bar. A friend of ours got a major job offer and invited us to celebrate with a bottle of champagne! Of course I didn’t have my camera because I didn’t know I was going…
Am I just consuming a lot of food or is my life being consumed by food!! More delicious tastes at happy hour this evening, starting with a Malbec (is that all I order these days?). When there’s only Six Plates, you’ve got to try them all, right? Lamby joes – good, but sloppy:) Truffle fries (aka McDonald’s fries with fancy flavors). This is the only thing I don’t LOVE at Six Plates. Farmhand foods beef sliders with chapel hill creamery…
Friday came quickly this week, thanks to my professional development days on Monday and Tuesday. I’m so excited for a fall weekend at home – no real plans on the agenda! I didn’t get around to posting last night, because I was out to dinner until 11! I’m extra sleepy today, but it was worth it. The company Matt worked for over the summer was on campus and the recruiting team organized a dinner. It’s so nice that they include…
EVERYTHING in Denver was delicious, thanks to recommendations from readers and friends. To those of you who recommended Snooze and Tag: I love you. So, here’s a quick recap – Matt and I shared almost everything. Sugared hush puppies, crawfish, shrimp, & andouille etouffee, and a vegetarian chili relleno – all from Steubens. Blackened fish & celery root remoulade sandwich and root beer braised beef short rib – from Lou’s Food Bar. Taco sushi (ahi tuna, sushi rice, guac, and…
