Over The Weather

Sorry weathermen, you got it wrong!!

The whole afternoon was nice and sunny! I ended up meeting Faith halfway to her house and we walked for a good hour. Then we came back to the couch for more SYTYCD!

At 6, we invited two new friends over for dinner. Jessica and Alex are from Pennsylvania and were here visiting for the weekend and they invited us on hike today. Our hike got rained out, so we decided to do drinks + pizza at our place instead.

IMG_1167Blog

Matt loves any chance he can get to share beer with new friends

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_1158-2Blog

We walked to Fry’s Spring Pizza for 2 pies at 6 to have along with a big salad made from greens from our garden

IMG_1157-2Blog

Baby chard, collards and mustard greens dressed in olive oil and vinegar plus salt and almonds

IMG_1160-2Blog

Our pizzas were excellent – one Jalapeno Pepperoni and one Wild Mushroom

IMG_1162-2BlogIMG_1163-2BlogIMG_1165Blog-2

I don’t normally do unknown meats in restaurants, but tonight I rolled with it. The peps looked good, and we all can’t be perfect all the time.

IMG_1170Blog

Garlic Cheddar also made an appearance. I had a slice of each pizza and a slice of CG

IMG_1173Blog

Matt poured some Double IPA to start

IMG_1168Blog-2

And we tasted Sheila’s gift – the Stone Smoked Porter for round II. YUM!!

IMG_1176Blog-2

For dessert I pulled out these AMAZING brittles I’ve been tasting for an OpenSky debut. They are so delicious – like toffee meets honeycomb – and the different nut combos are wonderful. Tonight we had pistachio and almond!

IMG_1180Blog-2

We had so much fun tonight. I wish every night could be a party!

Matt’s headed to bed soon, and well, I am too. Tomorrow starts a hearty week II!

    I love toffees, brittles, barks, that whole genre of desserts…yep. My thing, for sure.

    A rained out hike replaced with great looking pizza, beer, time with new friends…sounds like a good trade off to me 🙂

    That pizza looks amazing. I’ve become a pizza snob; unless it’s a homemade or gourmet quality, I will pass. I’ve been spoiled by my mom’s great pizza crust mix and toppings.

    love pizza Sundays, especially paired with those dark, intense beers – IPAs and Porters are no joke – how delicious!

    If you want to try a new recipe, I’d suggest this stuffed turkey burger from Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. They premiere a new food each episode, and you can catch it Monday nights on ABC at 10pm/9c.

    Pizza and beer on a hot day is perfect.
    I was just wondering Kath about how you said you at the unknown pepperoni because you can’t be perfect all the time. Is that how some of your rules about eating come about? From perfectionism? I’m not asking as a criticism of course, I’ve been reading your blog for years and get joy from your beautiful pictures and your life sharing.
    I am just interested in how personal ethics and perfectionist streaks combine to shape ideas about eating and I know you are open in talking about these things. Thanks:)

      I’m not quite sure what you mean… no one is perfect, including me. I eat by “guidelines” not rules, which are meant to be broken! I definitely follow the 80/20 rule when it comes to eating guidelines, but the ethics of animals is something I take more seriously than say, cake for breakfast.

        How lucky are you that they left it for you, it looks perfect for your porch. Our English tudor style house was built in 1930 and we had a hard time finding outdoor furniture that we like that didn’t cost a fortune.

    I appreciated the Dogfish beer goblet shown in one of your photos because we have the very same ones. I am from a combination of Annapolis/Lewes/Rehoboth, so Dogfish is very close to my heart. We once replicated the 60 Minute IPA at a brew-your-own beer place in Chicago — and it was awesome!
