peppery

Once you start you can’t stop…

IMG_7975Blog

I’m talking about painting trim…not drinking wine or eating buttercream frosting…although the phrase does apply to both!

I broke out some of our house paint to touch up some spots that had been repaired – holes, dings from trying to force our couch into a small door frame. And then I just got carried away. Everything looks so much better now!

Snapple

IMG_7985Blog

We picked up our good friend Snakey from the train station at dinnertime. He’s here for a wedding and had the evening to hang out during the rehearsal dinner. We headed downtown for dinner and not 2 seconds after arriving on the downtown mall, Snake yelled “ALBERS!!!” when we totally bumped into two more of their younger fraternity brothers (one just moved here and one is visiting).

3 turned into a fun dinner for 7 at Zocalo, one of my downtown favs!

Snake, Matt and I split a bottle of red [mid pour]

And of course had to get the Corn + Black Bean Relleno pepper. It is INCREDIBLY good!! With a red tortilla chip crust, smoked grits and a killer green sauce that must have cilantro involved. You must go to Zocalo and eat this! 50% of our table ordered it : )

IMG_7996Blog

We just drove Snake out to the Clifton Inn and are back and settled for the night at home.

Tomorrow I’m going on a really cool blog event that I’ve been wanting to do for years. It involves a farm. Any guesses!?

    I definitely agree – the phrase can apply to all three: drinking wine, eating buttercream frosting (YUM!), and painting the trim! 🙂

    As long as it’s not the Stoneyfield thing
    (if it is, sorry-that drives me crazy on other blogs,not a fan of it!)

    Whether it is or isn”t ,have a nice weekend y’all!

      It’s not Stonyfield, but what drives you crazy about that?

        The Stoneyfield farm thing just smacks of commericalism and is like
        a huge ad being held in our face.
        I found it terribly annoying on other blogs.The more product placements I see
        on blogs, the less I visit them.
        (But that is just my personal opinion/rant) Thanks for letting me share it !
