Make a little love. Get down tonight!
[*Please note the ‘make a little love’ part of this post is completely hypothetical!]
Went to the bakery. Did a little work. Had a fabulous Friday night with Matt!
We hung out in our new backyard with a few special beers that Larbs + Matt brought us!
Starting with… the Imperial Younger’s Special Bitter.
Yes, look closely…this beer has my name on it!! I can’t believe I didn’t know about it until now!
This table reminds me of Aslan…so sad the way he died
And speaking of Lions…
We miss El Tigre…but…
We were surprised when El Lion ran by!
For a family who is allergic to cats, we sure attract them to us!
I think we have a new friend!
Beer #2 – a nice bitter Barleywine, also from Larbs + Matt
After the sun set, we went inside to make dinner
Pinto Bean burgers [modeled after this recipe – just pintos, flour, olive oil, salt, pepper and Worcestershire] topped with bacon, ketchup and mustard
Pan-seared zucchini on the side
Really fun, chill [and chilly!] night in the new house!
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
Your kettle is so cute!! And this looks like a great Friday night in my books <3
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
haha – I love your sidenote about the love making being completely hypothetical. TOo funny! Have a great Friday night!
Lauren says
Sounds like a nice Friday afternoon. Maybe El Tigre followed you? 😉 Kidding but glad you guys have a new friend. That zucchini looks yummy-I’ve been bad about consuming my beloved zucchini this summer. Better get some while I can. Have a great weekend!
KathEats says
Well remember El Tigre has no tail!
Lauren says
Haha that’s right. It must be his twin then 😉
Ashley says
We just visited the Rogue Brewery here in Portland (we just moved here), and they have the most delicious hazelnut beer. I’ve never tried that kind though; I’ll keep my eye out for it at the store. 🙂
Molly @ RDexposed says
Mmmm I just had a Smuttynose single star ale. I was all for the mermaid on the bottle! What’s Friday night without beer..?
KathEats says
We are long lost RD twins 🙂
robin says
ha ha ha (make alittle love) Man you really do attract cats…..
kaila @ healthy helper! says
I love simple bean burgers! They always turn out delish!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
That is so sweet that you mentioned Aslan — makes me want to reread those books!
Deva @ Deva by Definition says
I love the photos of you in this post – you look so pretty!
KathEats says
🙂
Jen says
Matt is losing a lot of weight! I imagine he is non-stop active what with the bakery nowadays. Maybe it’s my imagination….
KathEats says
He’s the same weight he’s always been..
Liz says
I thought he looked thinner, too, and figured it was just all the activity at the bakery these days 😉
Angel7 says
That table that you are sitting on looks big!
Cheers to fun times at future backyard barbecues at your new house 🙂

Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Love the title of the post.
And the opening pics of you and Matt…I really like them. After a week of moving, life, all kinds of random stuff going on…you two deserve a nice night together and a chill weekend!
Hope you get it 🙂
Hillary says
I think it’s hilarious that you guys attract all these cats! You’re like magnets!
Jen says
Love the hair left down.
lol – it looks like you blurred the cat’s face – protecting his anonymity! 🙂
Jack O'Brien says
Am I crazy or is that entire deck/table crooked? It’s been a long day of coaching gymnastics haha so I wouldn’t be surprised if my brain was playing tricks on me.
KathEats says
I think that’s the photographer’s creative angle 🙂
Cait's Plate says
I still can’t get over those built in shelves with the mason jars…that is just the PERFECT set up.
Loved this post – enjoy the rest of your chill (and chilly!) night with Matt!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
What a fun night together! Love those date nights at home.
Are you used to sleeping in the new house yet?! Its always a little weird for me for a week or 2 in a new place.
Tempe says
Or longer? I just moved into my first house and have been here a little over a month and it’s still weird sleeping here and doesn’t quite feel like it’s actually my house. Granted this is the first house I’ve lived in (other than growing up…I’ve been living in apartments my whole adult life). No one ever really talks about the adjustment so I always feel like I’m being a wussbag that it’s taking me so long to adjust.
KathEats says
It’s definitely taking me a while, but I think we need to get curtains up!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Enjoy your new home Kath! Sounds like you are starting the weekend off on the right foot!
J3nn(Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
We attract kitties, too! Good thing we have our fill already. I might otherwise be tempted to keep one and they might already have a family! Hehe
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
the zucchini looks just like pickles! it looks like it was a gorgeous night outside, glad you’re enjoying your backyard!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
Hey, if you have enough beers I don’t think the “make a lot of love” part will necessarily be hypothetical. WInk, wink, nudge, nudge.
Sana says
🙂 brrrr. It is getting nippy, I am happy you two are enjoying your house!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Is that note a mom and dad disclaimer? haha
It’s crazy how there are cats every where you guys go. It must be a sign of some sort!
Amy* says
I never thought to have zucchini as a side dish to a burger, but it looks so yummy the way y’all cooked it!*
[email protected] says
Great photos of you, you look really happy. Enjoy the weekend.
Shaya (Eye Girl Eats) says
Is that table slanted or was it just the picture??
Looks like a lovely evening for you– but hopefully the ‘make a little love’ part wasn’t purely hypothetical for you haha 😉
KathEats says
It’s the photographer!
Ida says
Love Rogue! I havent had the Younger’s Special Bitter, I’ll have to be on the look out for that one. Cat’s have good taste in people:)
Mama Pea says
You deserved that. x10. Have a good weekend, K.
Nikki says
Sounds like a great night! Had to smirk at the Narnia reference! I love the Chronicles of Narnia!
Enjoy your weekend in the new house!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
i’m allergic to cats and they loooove me
Khushboo says
Love that first pic of you! Beer postergirl 🙂
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Cute kitty! You should adopt it 🙂
Dinner looks yum! Have a great weekend!
Karen says
Such an adorable, funny (first) photo of you! Glad you are feeling better!
Have a good Saturday, Kath!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Sounds like a great night! Those burgers look fantastic 🙂
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
those bean burgers look great! Bookmarked 😉
L says
Your backyard looks like a lot of fun..! More house tour pictures please! I love your hardwood floors 🙂
KathEats says
Coming later today – I hope! Or tomorrow for sure.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Maybe El Tigre thought you’d be lonely so he told his friend El Lion to come keep you company. 😉
Lee says
Is Matt opening the beer with his ring? I think that one of the things my husband was most excited about when we got married is that he figured out he could open a beer bottle with his wedding ring. Lol.
KathEats says
Yeah but he uses his class ring so he doesn’t hurt his wedding one!
Jessica says
Kath,
You look really pretty and relaxed. Your hair is a cute length. Question–have you ever had acne issues? Your skin looks so good. I’m sure your healthy eating keeps them at bay. Would acne causing hormones be controlled by healthy eating?
KathEats says
Thanks Jessica. I haven’t ever had an acne problem, but I get..spots..all the time!
Katie @ BloomEveryday says
Love the pinto bean burger idea, I am always trying to find a new veggie burger recipe.
K says
I second the weight loss in Matt. Older pictures clearly show his weight loss.
I would hope the make a little love wasn’t hypothetical! 😉
Win says
As always, excellent beer selection.
sami says
Love the blog, Kath! Looking beautiful as always. Matt is looking a bit gaunt….i really hope he’s eating enough and not always splitting his entrees with you!!!
KathEats says
He eats bread all day long and drinks beer every night – he’s doing just fine. I think it’s just how he juts out his chin in photos
Rachel says
That Rogue company makes an awesome Hazelnut Brown Ale. Ya’ll should definitely give it a try!
Katie @ Plates and Paste says
Aw…my bf is allergic to cats but they LOVE him! When he’s around them they go straight for him, begging to be petted hha.
Lara @TresLaLa says
You’ve had Pilney the Younger from Russian River Brewery, right? (Not to be confused with Pliney the Elder…) 😛
KathEats says
Yes!
Johanna B says
Love love love the first photo of your pose with the beer. It should be on the cover of a beer lover’s magazine.
Aw, a new kitty…
