Chicago Trip
Jeff and I headed to Chicago to meet up with a few of our college friends to see Lord of the Rings in concert at Ravinia last weekend. While we were there, we also did a food tour of Wicker Park and Bucktown and headed up to Milwaukee for Irishfest. It was an amazing weekend with little sleep had by all, but totally worth it. I thought I'd share a recap of our food tour by Chicago Food Planet.
Jeff's Birthday Dinner
Jeff had his birthday dinner at The Barking Frog in Woodinville this week. He'd been wanting to go for quite a while, so we figured there wasn't a much better time than his birthday. The atmosphere was lodge-y, but not so over the top to be a turn off. We really liked that the menu had a lot of options that would work for keto even though we were taking a night off.
Leavenworth!
Last weekend we (over) loaded the Mazda with 3 of our friends and headed east to a little Bavarian town called Leavenworth, WA. Many of our friends had been and said great things, so we decided a sunny Saturday was the day to go. The trip over was about 2 hours, but the scenery was great.
DC Trip
Last weekend Jeff and I hopped a plane to DC to visit his parents. As usual, we spent a lot of time seeing the sites and finding good things to eat. We especially enjoyed the Capitol Hill food tour we booked through DC Metro Food tours. I figured a recap was in order, so read on to hear about it!
(Belated) Happy 4th!
Hoping everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! Jeff and I spent the day at a local celebration complete with fireworks and fair food... it doesn't get much better than that.
Amigurumi Raichu
One of my friends was pretty impressed with my crocheted Totoro so we searched Ravelry for something I could make for him. We settled on this Raichu pattern by Linda Potts.
Blow torched steak!!!
My birthday was this past week and Jeffrey made me a very special birthday dinner... blow torched steak.
