You are here: Home / Lifestyle / all quiet on the KERF front.

November 27, 2010

all quiet on the KERF front.

Mom + Dad left this morning, and we just sent Larbs + Matt on their way. But the exciting news is we’ll see them again in 2 weeks when we visit Boston! And then again for Christmas!

IMG_2598edited

The four of us went on a 10K run this morning – 6.2 miles on the nose by accident! We ran all through UVA’s campus (grounds, I know, I know). I had a fabulous run – I think because I had so much glycogen in my legs!! All but one of our miles were under 9:00, and two of them were in the 8:30s! Those boys keep me up to speed.

IMG_2001edited

After our run and four showers in one bathroom, we made our way downtown.

2 B or Not To Be, that is the question.

IMG_2597edited

We walked straight to Eppie’s, all the while raving about the vegetarian plate and sweet potato and collard greens to find it was CLOSED!! Booo!!

Plan B included window shopping at several menus. We walked to restaurant idea #2, Revolutionary Soup, but the line was super long. Restaurant idea #3 was also closed – South Street Brewery.

IMG_5570 (640x427) (2)

Finally we had the idea to see if Bluegrass Grill was open, just over the train tracks.

A huge train took 5 minutes to cross.

IMG_2600edited

The boys had fun studying it and guessing when it would end.

IMG_2599edited

And then we were happy to see Bluegrass was open and had a table for four open!

IMG_2601edited

IMG_2602edited

I’d already had french toast that morning, so I went with the lunchier soup + salad combo.

A cup of delicious, slightly sweet, cuminy black bean chili.

IMG_2609edited

And a side salad with yogurt-cuc-dill dressing. Hilarious that the last time we went to Bluegrass Grill I got the EXACT SAME THING!!

IMG_2607edited

The star of my show was the BISCUIT that I split off of Matt’s plate. It was AMAZING! Tasted of honey and cornmeal, and we suspect it was at least partly whole grain.

IMG_2614edited

IMG_2612edited

He ordered an omelet, home fries and that huge biscuit he shared

IMG_2603edited

And then we had to take Matt + Larbs to Sweet Frog. Just a wee bit more fun before normal life resumes.

IMG_2616edited

I got a peanut butter + hazelnut base with graham cracker, coconut, toffee and butterscotch chips.

IMG_2615edited

The house is quiet.

    Looks like a great day. Sadly, there won’t be any walking to lunch for me for about five months…we’ve got almost ten inches of snow and we are in the high teens! Brrrr… Have a great afternoon!

    My post-feast workout was fabulous with plenty of pumpkin pie in my glycogen stores. We should have Thanksgiving more often :). You’re tempting me with such beautiful photos of Cville!

    I’ve actually asked them their recipe for the biscuits – the woman in the back said that it was the biscuit recipe from Joy of Cooking, but half whole wheat. Never tried to recreate them, but I always get them when I visit my sister at UVA.

    your salad looks delicious! after all the junk i’ve eaten in the past few days, that just looks so “clean”, kwim? 🙂

    also(i posted this the other day but didn’t know if you saw it), guess what I found today… Kodiak Cake pancake mix. At Big Lots, of all places! and it is good until 09/11. It was $3 for the box, which I’m not sure if that is a good price or not, but I bought one anyway. Yours always look so good, I just had to get it. They also had a variety of other organic things like Nature’s Path and Barbara’s. If you have a BL nearby, you may want to check it out.

    Don’t you hate having 1 bathroom when guests come to visit?! I have one bathroom too and although I enjoy that cleaning is a snap (bathrooms are my least favorite area to clean), I always miss the convenience when other people are in town!

    You need it after that 10k you ran.

    What a great day. I love running on college campuses. There’s just something about them. Good run. You deserved a wonderful meal. I’ll take Matt’s plate. Love omeletes!

    Do you ever go out for ice cream instead of froyo? And are Larbs/Laura and Matt married?

      I like self serve best, so if they come out wtih self serve ice cream, sure. We tend to get ice cream when we’re traveling – like at the beach – and froyo around here because I think the places are better. We do get gelato on the mall sometimes.

    Definitely noted the ‘Ra Ra Riot’ t-shirt, Matt.
    They’re nothing short of amazing, saw them live with Death Cab.
