Grand Ole Time

Lots of fun with lots of friends tonight!

IMG_9258

Andrea and I met at her place and walked downtown (~3 miles) to our gym where we met Faith for a yoga class! I am so very glad I decided to go because the class was great. I got that “building heat on the inside” feeling that indicates you are building strength : )

After yoga, Faith and I headed downtown to meet a group of friends for dinner.

IMG_9259

[FYI, if you live in Cville and want to be our friend for dinners and stuff, please email me!]

We chose Revolutionary Soup because the menu is the bomb and the food is local!

IMG_9261

I got a delightful arugula salad with truffle oil, goat cheese, and an ever-so-famous Polyface Farm egg!

IMG_9260

The salad was plentiful and my craving for egg, satisfied.

IMG_9265

I also ordered a cornbread muffin on the side, because I like to have bread with meals, and an Honest Tea – love those.

IMG_9262

After dinner we walked over to Sweet Frog for a treat!

Faith, Crystal, Holly, Cara, Krissy

IMG_9268

I had a mix of Red Velvet (not as amazing as I’d hoped), White Chocolate Macadamia (really good!) and Oreo (always good) with chips and sprinkles for blog-worthy color

IMG_9267

After dessert, a few of us headed to The Southern to check out a free concert!

Carleigh Nesbit was the opener, and I really enjoyed her music. She was like the Dixie Chicks minus the chicks with a hint of Jewel. Really really cute song called Kitchen that I loved too!

IMG_9271

Faith and I walked back to her house, sampled some of her Kefir waters (more on that soon!) and then she drove me home. Thanks Faith!

Going to get cozy with either:

    1. My computer = blogs!
    2. Lonesome Dove (which just arrived – The Postmistress is a bit slow)
    3. Glee

Not sure which yet!

    I think the best part of that salad is that corn muffin! Yum.

    I would choose Lonesome Dove — only because I would love to be lost in a film right now.

    Good night!

    this is totally un-related, but my boyfriend and I are going to San Francisco this weekend, and I was wondering if you had a top 5 list of your favorite vineyards in the area (we’ll have a car)? any help would be appreciated! thanks =)

      Sonoma and Napa are about an hour drive north, but very much worth it.

      My favorites are all Sonoma:

      Ridge (near Healdsburg)
      Ledson (near Sonoma)
      Trentadue (near Healdsburg)
      Kendall-Jackson (in the middle)
      Ferari-Carrano (near Healdsburg)

      and anything along West Side Road

    Love the new green color for your replies! Random…I met with the CEO of Honest Tea for a business meeting a year or so ago. You would love their offices – its full of used, mismatched office furniture. No walls/offices, windows that OPEN (unheard of really for office space, I think) and they have a tea lab where they actually create and taste new flavors right onsite. There is a fridge in the lobby full of tea for the taking and their CEO is actually called the TeaEO. No joke 🙂
