Fun times at the bakery today
Lots to do! Including a break for a power walk with a new friend!
Followed by a snack of vanilla soy milk with the crumbles of the Cville Cluster bag
Matt and I charged through our list today and worked right through closing. I realized today that my Great Harvest email address had been frozen since JULY 16!!!!!!!!!! SO many missed emails – the horror. I spent the late afternoon responding and apologizing for the delay.
When I came out of the office, this was waiting for me:
Ladies [and gents], the best pumpkin beer ever. Matt snuck it in this afternoon when he ran an errand! Why do I suspect that he really goes out for a beer when he runs errands!? Just kidding – I told him to! He needed a break.
We shared this monster while he was on a call this evening and I twiddled my thumbs
When he hung up, he declared that he was not doing a single dish tonight and we were going out. I tried to protest and mumbled something about budgets and my LOOT app, but he won. We went out.
Our third restaurant (because the first two we tried were closed) was Fry’s Spring Pizza! Love this place.
And love their hummus plate!!
We shared this to start
And then shared a Hot Pepperoni Pizza for dinner
I had two ooey gooey scrumdiddleyumptious slices.
And now the evening is calming down. Matt’s reading in bed and I’m off to join him.
It’s COLD out there folks. Chilly!

Hahaha “mumbled something about budgets and my LOOT app…”
That hummus plate is chock full of goodies! Stay warm, tonight.
That dinner is so much more appealing then mine was! I’ve never had pumpkin beer. I think that needs to change.
Pumpkin Ale!? Fall is officially here!
Holy swear words batman that hummus plate looks DEVINE!!! Oh my gosh!!!!
As for a chill in the air, I WISH. It’s 100 degrees here with the humidity. Later this week we should be seeing some cool fall weather though…Fingers crossed!
Pumpkin Ale and a chill in the air! I can’t WAIT for Fall!!
Fall is SO here yayyy! It’s so chilly here tonight too, and we’re settling in with an apple cider candle and a warm meal
That pizza looks amazing! Also, I’m probably WAY too excited that pumpkin beers are out! I LOOOVE fall!
This makes me miss home…dogfish head punkin ale is so good! I’m so excited for Fall to be here too!
That hummus plate looks to-die-for!
Who is the pumpkin ale by? I am SO ready for cooler weather! I’m actually in Denver for work right now and it’s still toasty here. *sigh*
What is wrong with my computer? I hit the home button and it goes to the 28th post?!?!?!? It’s OK, twitter has me covered! I just had to google the post title! I love that hummus plate! Looks delish!!!
Did you fix it? That’s weird. I hope it wasn’t someting on KERF
I am dying to find that pumpkin ale! I don’t even like beer but it’s my goal to try any one with a pumpkin on it
It was 108 today…before the heat index. Fail. I WANT PUMPKIN BEER!
pumpkin beer is my favorite beer in the whole world. i tried it for the first time a few years ago on our labor day camping trip. it is so choice.
go take care of the hubby. nothing better than vegging out to round out a crazy monday.
That pumpkin beer IS good! I had my first glass last night at the Capital Ale House in Fredericksburg. <3 I'm soooo excited about fall and all the pumpkiny goodness that comes with it!
What does Pumpkin Beer taste like?
Are you reading anything new now for your book club? What does Matt read?
That appetizer looks Amazing! Have a great night!:)
Hummus is so GOOD – I’m totally addicted. I’d love to eat there. Hope you figure out the email situation, it’s annoying when small things like that happen.
My favorite pumpkin beer WAS Shipyard, but it just tastes different this year. So I’m on the prowl for a new favorite!
Yikes on your email, sorry about that! The hummus plate looks wonderful!
Yum! I think I might make myself pizza tonight now too… yours looks so good!
I’ll trade weather with you– it’s still 85 degrees outside here! I miss cool, fall weather… enjoy it and your pumpkin beer!!
You + Matt NEED to come to St. Louis and try Schlafly Pumpkin on draft… it is so amazing! Their Christmas Ale, Oatmeal Stout, + Coffee Stout are also AHmazing! But their pumpkin is hands down the best pumpkin beer around! Your making a very pregnant girl very jealous – and ready for October to get here NOW. ;o)
It is delicious!! I live 2 miles from Bottleworks and finally had my first Schlafly’s pumpkin beer yesterday. Amazing!!
hey Kristen and Emma, I live in St. Lou, too! We should have a Kath’s Fanclub beer tasting some time!
Oh man, I wish I could come too!
I live in StL, also (also really close to bottleworks!). I regularly go there for friday night dinner and a fresh fresh beer – SO good!
I’m also in STL and go to Bottleworks all the time! Their Pumpkin is def my favorite pumpkin. I’ve tried quite a few but Schlafly always wins!
The food is so good! I love how they use so many local ingrediants!
It IS cold out there! I am all bundled up in my purple hoodie, but I am also coming down with a cold
.
Your dinner looks AMAZING
That hummus plate is glorious looking!!!! I would love to share that it looks soooo good, so does your pizza! ….Wishing you a day full of sunshine and an empty e-mail inbox.
Okay, maybe not empty but an easier day with the inbox.
Are you fo’ serious with that hummus plate?? I am drooling over here! I just wrote down what it looks like is on there so I can re-create ASAP!!
I need more info on this pumpkin beer! Where is it brewed? How far must I travel to purchase?
St. Louis: http://www.schlafly.com/
This gives me hope since I’m in Illinois! Thanks!
Oh my goodness, I cannot even begin to digest having to go through work e-mails from that far back! Glad you found out about it and were able to get things rolling again.
Looks to me like dinner was well worth going out for!
That pizza looks AMAAAAAZING!!! Clearly it’s been too long since I’ve gotten pizza… And what a good husband to bring you pumpkin beer! I need to find one of those! (both the beer and the man, haha).
The hummus plate looks amazing!! And even better because someone else prepared it!
That looks like an amazing hummus platter!
Glad you guys had a nice dinner out!
That hummus plate looks delish!
That hummus plate is absolutely gorgeous!
I’ve gotta find that pumpkin beer this year. I’ve never had that particular one, but I looooove the Southern Tier one!
Wow! That hummus plat looks delicious– I’m loving the black olive addition
It was cold this morning while walking to work and it made me SO excited! I also can hardly believe that Fall is almost here.
I absolutely cannot wait for my Cville Cluster batch to get here. Every time I have granola that is not Cville Cluster it’s just not the same. Once you’ve had the best, it’s hard to ever go back
That pizza. looks. amazing. And it looks like it was such a fun night – I like when Matt’s in charge! Haha
I have not had a great pumpkin ale, and will have to remember the name of this one.
That pizza looks heavenly!!!

Your meal looks amazing…that pizza..to die forrr
I find that Mondays are the hardest to find a restaurant to dine in because most are closed. And that’s usually when I get a craving for a specific restaurant that is specifically closed on Monday. I’ve never tried Schafly’s pumpkin beer and every time you feature it, I want it! I’m going to do a thorough search this fall.
omg that pumpkin beer looks delicious! I wonder if it’s over here on the west coast!
Schlafly is not distrubuted out West, unfortunately. It’s in St. Louis!
hmm I”m coming to Boston/NYC next week. maybe I can get it over there? Thanks for the heads up
Y’all are just the cutest, seriously!!
I am loving pumpkin, too. Kasha pumpkin bakes are prepped for breakfast and I can’t wait!!! Bring it on, fall.
I was definitely going to comment when I saw the hummus plate, but then I saw the pepperoni pizza, and I HAD to say something about it too! They both look de-frickin-licious!!!
Wow. Jealous. Beer, hummus plate, pizza, weather, ugh…jealous! It all looks/sounds amazing!
Man that hummus plate looks so good! I have been staring at this lone can of chickpeas in my cabinet all week telling myself that I should make some hummus. Your pics are the kick in the butt I need. I bought some canned pumpkin this week. Maybe I can pretend its fall? Texas is a little behind. Still over 100 degrees…
The hummus and pizza look great and the soy milk over head shot is awesome.
And the emails that you didnt get for 6 weeks…eeeeeek! I bet that gave you a little panic attack. It would have given me one.
Question, I just posted about changing some things on my site (since you commented this morning, I changed it!) but I need social media icons and I dont know photoshop well enough to make my own. How/where did you get yours? The ones I see are all too big and clunky or bad colors!
If you google “social media buttons” there are thousands of kinds to download
yes the problem is I seem to have a knack for finding the ugly/super bright/super big ones or ones that I then need to customize more with Photoshop. Will keep searching
“Why do I suspect that he really goes out for a beer when he runs errands!?”
Yeah, this is pretty much true for my boyfriend…ah heck, me too.
I’m sorry, you are wrong. It’s after 9PM and over 85 degrees. A chilly beer sounds great!
You should probably call your first son Schafly.
Ha!
Kath, I came across this random post and saw this comment and had to laugh. So, are you gonna name him Schafly?
Hahahah. No, that’s not the name!
i’ve never been a big pepperoni pizza person but that one’s making me drool!
The thought of pork really doesn’t appeal to me but for some reason, I LOVE pepperoni pizza! Yummy dinz!
Yum, that hummus plate looks fantastic!
I love the description of your protest
This seems like a random question, but do you have a favorite brand of pita bread? I love it when I go out and it’s freshly made, but every time I buy it it’s so gross! (I could probably figure out how to make it, but don’t always have time!)
Hmmm I don’t. I haven’t bought pita bread in so long I don’t even know what’s on the market
Fantastic looking dinner! I honestly have never heard of pumpkin beer before, cool
YUMMY. Your dinner looked amazing!
Chilly? Where? It’s 106 today and yesterday my car read 115. I am so ready for “winter”.
:/
Same here in Houston. Wish we had fall and pumpkin beer.
That sounds like such a long and busy day. You guys deserved a meal out!
I could probably demolish that entire hummus plate on my own. Seriously.
Ooo I want to try that pumpkin beer! Pumpkin beers are my favorite, maybe because fall is my favorite season! Hope it was awesome.
Hey Kath!
Do you have other favorite apps? I have heard you talk about Loot and now I love it. Any other must-have apps?
Looks like you had a great relaxing night – well deserved!
*Looking at my phone*
Loot, Twitter, Retro Camera, Google Reader, Mint.com, Wordpress, Katheats (!!), Simple Calendar, Business Calender Free
sweet! Thanks!
I can’t wait for Fall. It’s still in the 90′s here.
The hummus plate looks really tasty and fresh – I love all the toppings they put along side.
That hummus plate looks amazing! I think I could have that for a meal. But if pizza’s involved, than the decision is easy.
Loot? Is that a type of budget app? Please enlighten me!
ohh…..hummus plate looks fantastic! haha – I give into my fiance at times about just picking up something for dinner. ugh!
Wanna go for a power walk with an old-err well established-friend tomorrow?
Sure!! How’s after dinner tonight?
Wow, that hummus plate looks INCREDIBLE! I could definitely go for that right about now…
