Oops. I kind of left you all hanging for Day 4, huh? Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. I don’t really have pictures from Day 4 anyway. It was an afternoon Cubs game followed by some beer and me crashing early because we had a flight to catch the next morning. Nothing was overly spectacular [...]

Colorado Recap Day 2
Friday was jam-packed. We woke up early again, had some breakfast, packed a lunch and set off toward Colorado Springs to visit Garden of the Gods state park. We spent a few hours there, hiking about 5 miles worth of trails. Everything was gorgeous.
Nothing like a giant rock formation to make you realize how small [...]

Sushi, Booze and Byrnie
As I said before, we went home to Chicago this weekend. Friday night, we stopped at Tess and Greg’s place as we usually do when we come into town. Tessa had been wanting to take me to this “conveyor belt sushi place,” which sounded both odd and amazing.
Sushi Station was heaven on Earth for me. [...]

Weekend Recap Part 1: Club Soda
Wow! I feel like it’s been a blur of a few days. We went out to dinner to celebrate Friday night, but it feels like forever ago. We had a gift certificate to Club Soda that we’ve been waiting to use, so Friday night was the night! We’ve been to Club Soda before, but only [...]

A Photoless Weekend Recap
I am finally in bed after what seems like the busiest 3 or 4 days of my life. I am sure, given my propensity for exaggeration, that it wasn’t really that crazy, but it sure felt like it. Friday was my friend Tessa’s birthday, but because she lives 4 hours away, I had not planned [...]

The Italian Connection
Our dinner date was awesome! We went to, seriously, the tiniest restaurant ever. The atmosphere was just so quaint and adorable, with wine bottles lined up in shelves, covered with scrawls in sharpie marker, commemorating special events that had taken place there, like “Doug & Tracy, First Date 3-1-98.” Totally adorable. I really [...]

Dinner at Catablu
Tonight’s dinner was Amazing. Sometimes I get so excited about something that I end up feeling let down, but my meal was so great! I’m incredibly stuffed. We had wayyy too much food! Here’s a review, with less than stellar pictures.
I was planning on having wine, but I was feeling like something fruity, so I [...]

Chow
Remember how I said Brent was a sweetheart? It’s true — he made our lunches for this week. We had Santa Fe Chowder from the Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special cookbook. We’ve made this soup before, and it is so good! I’ve recently decided chowders are my favorite variety of soup. Creamy and cheesy, with a [...]

Sweet Home Chicago
This past weekend was spent at home visiting my family and friends in Chicago. It was a jam packed weekend. Very fun but very exhausting. We arrived early Friday evening and spent time with our friends Tessa and Greg, who received cupcakes and bagels. We went to Walter Payton’s Roundhouse for dinner and drinks. [...]
