Nooks + Crannies

A few weeks ago, when Restaurant Week was just announced, Karen and I made our plans without Matt. But then we wondered if perhaps he might feel left out (since we are all three such foodies and all!) and decided to schedule a second night out on the town to include him. Karen and I made our restaurant rounds this week and have proclaimed that we’re cooking in through next weekend minimum!

BLOG-9722 this !

Our date tonight took us to C&O, a famous Cville restaurant I’ve been dying to go to since we moved here!

“In America” – that’s a pretty big accolade!

Prior to our evening out, we stopped by Faith + Tate’s to say hello to a dinner party we unfortunately had to miss

Faith hooked me up with some homemade kombucha!

BLOG-9711

And I got to play with a fun baby girl!

    Your dinner and dessert look phenomenal! Sometimes, I’d like to eat dinner out every night and not do any grocery shopping. But I really do enjoy cooking, so I don’t want to completely abandon my kitchen just yet. hehe

    AAAAH!!! When I was studying at UVA in 2007-8, and my parents came over from Australia for Spring Break, we went to C & O as our fancy last night dinner 🙂 I had the cheeseplate and it was amazing, but I couldn’t look at cheese for about another two months. Teehee!

    I love how you take notice of the use of America! It’s one of my big pet peeves when people say America or Americans when they’re only referring to the United States, although my boyfriend in particular gets annoyed at me for arguing over semantics 🙂
    I’ve been wanting to make homemade kombucha for a while now! It’s going back on my to-do list. Your dinner looks great.

    Do you ever feel weird taking pictures of the restaurant? I was in a bar this past weekend and got very self conscious taking pictures of the bar (I am fine with my own plate, or things on my table). Any tips?

    Love the food pictures, but I can’t help but TOTALLY CRINGE at the incorrect use of the word “its” TWICE in that quote about the restaurant…

    “From ITS humble beginnings,” and “delights ITS guests.”

    I’m a high-school English teacher and it drives me nuts that people don’t get that one. I see it all the time on food blogs … not saying everyone has to be an English major, but to publish on the internet I think some writers need to do a little more grammar check. Yours is usually good. 🙂
