Over the weekend, we ventured down to Clarksville to visit my dear parents as an early mother’s day/mom’s birthday celebration. Yes, folks. That does mean that we watched the Kentucky Derby in Tennessee. It was weird. But we ate Derby pie (or should I say “the first Saturday in May pie” because “Derby pie” is…
food, friends, and flicks.
Happy Friday, folks! There’s really nothing better than the sweet freedom of a Friday afternoon. On my drive home from work on this particular Friday, I spotted something odd. Food trucks. In Lexington. I was overcome with excitement. As soon as I walked in the door, I told Eric that we needed to go on…
a weekend of celebration.
Oh, hey there, blog. I’m afraid I’ve neglected you lately. I’ll blame our busy work schedules and the fact that we are trying to soak up as much time with our pals as possible this spring. It has been glorious, if not exhausting. I guess that when life is happening, the blog isn’t. Anywho, here’s…
a birthday celebration.
Yesterday was Eric’s 24th birthday. We have entered the 3-week period where our ages are 2 years apart. He’s an old man at 24, while I’m still youthful at 22. Like I said, this won’t last long, but it makes me feel good about myself. If you know anything about us from reading this little…
san diego: the last days.
We were really spoiled with eating out for breakfast on this trip. I think my usual morning yogurt is going to taste lame in comparison. We ate at Pannikin during our last two mornings in San Deigo. This place is super cute because it used to be a train station, and now it’s a coffee…
san diego: the middle.
Our second full day in San Diego was, by far, my favorite day of the trip. We started off with a hearty breakfast at The Daily News in Carlsbad. I think the real star of this meal was the toast. Whole wheat toast with the perfect amount of buttery goodness. Oh my. It was glorious….
a hodgepodge of news, mostly related to food.
As I begin this post, I should probably give a big thanks to Groupon, without whom we would never eat out. Seriously, Groupon. Thanks for making a night (or morning) out on the town nice and cheap. On Saturday morning we used a Groupon for Great Bagel. One dozen bagels for $4. Awesome. We ended…
date night.
Last night was date night for the Ringers. I think this was the first weekend we haven’t been out of town since early December, so we were pretty excited to get to spend time in Lexington, rather than driving around the state. We’ve recently compiled a list of restaurants to try in Lexington, and Butt…
the campbells visit kentucky.
A few days ago, we were blessed with the opportunity to host one of my very favorite couples in the whole world, the Campbells. Becca and I met while working as camp counselors in Washington way back in 2008. Since then, we’ve kept in touch through extensive facebook messages (thanks, Mark Zuckerberg), phone calls, and…
wallace station.
Goodness, gracious! I didn’t realize that it had been so long since we had done anything worthy of blogging! I’m afraid that the past few weeks have been spent working, sleeping, and catching one cold after another. And although I know everyone loves a good sneeze count, I just couldn’t convince myself that our illnesses…
homearama.
It’s time to do some dreaming, folks. I’m sure I’ve said this before, but I cannot wait until Eric and I have our own home. The sweet freedom that comes without a landlord is calling to me. I’ve been living in rental homes/apartments since my sophomore year of college, and I am certainly ready to…
maple-mustard corn with bacon.
As you know, we get a lot of veggies from our CSA every two weeks. The most recent basket gave us sweet corn, carrots, and green bell peppers. So we made a meal out of it! I sliced up some carrots, grape tomatoes, and green bell peppers. Then I stirred them in with some EVOO…
brunch at stella’s.
One of the great things about living downtown is the number of places to eat within walking distance. We’ve been doing a lot of walking lately, whether it’s to find a place to eat or to just get some exercise and fresh air. And this has resulted in both of us currently sitting on the…
the rest of the weekend.
After the wedding festivities ended on Friday night, we had the rest of the weekend to do whatever we pleased. And since Monday was a holiday, we weren’t in a big rush to get home, so Eric and I wanted an adventure. I feel like we don’t really live spontaneously, as Eric and I are…
a random collection of recent days.
I feel as though our lives have been a bit random lately. Here’s a random post to go along with our random lives. Last weekend, we went back home to celebrate my Mom’s birthday and my college graduation. I made my mom a birthday cake. Now, we all know that cake decorating is not my…
