Saturday In Bites + Sips

IMG_1662Blog

I am soooo tired of eating and drinking. I just don’t know how to stop! This week-long party continues and we are having so much fun. But I think all of us are ready for some salads and soups to simplify mealtime again. We have one more night with Larbs and Matt before everyday starts again.

The kids went running this morning – actually a really great run. Must be all the glycogen – or perhaps the coffee with breakfast! Matt and I killed it with 8:32, 8:14 + 8:21 paced miles (and a few slower ones too as we cooled down). Then we all headed to the bakery for lunch!

IMG_1638Blog

We’re closed today, but the sandwich cooler was open! All the foods in here are leftover from last week and are not suitable for customer consumption anymore, but as of today, there was just enough to feed our family. My parents went crazy with the idea of having a “restaurant to themselves.”

While we assembled sandwiches, several customers did come to the door and we sent them away with a free loaf of bread from the Thanksgiving bake (still plenty good!) They were pleased

:mrgreen: this !
Our family took the rest of the leftover loaves home so we’re empty for the Monday AM bake.

After packing up sandwiches, we headed to Blenheim Vineyards to taste wine and picnic

IMG_1644Blog

The highlight there was meeting KERF reader Jordan who was working behind the counter! It’s so fun to be recognized in public : ) Hi Jordan!

IMG_1657BlogIMG_1658Blog

After tasting, we bought a bottle of the red blend to have with our picnic

Lunch was served…

With no shortage of desserts…Pumpkin Oh and a huge bag of Savannah bars! I had a piece of each – our desserts are the best.

Next stop was Jefferson Vineyards!

IMG_1659Blog

I didn’t taste here since I was the driver, but I smelled them all and they smelled excellent!

IMG_1660Blog

Matt bought the Petit Verdot

IMG_1663Blog

Just said goodbye to Mom and Dad and Larbs, Matt and I are chilling at home tonight.

Pizza is on the menu!

And salad. Lots of salad.

    bummer you guys weren’t open on small business day! but how lucky for those customers who walked away with a freebie.

    i know what you mean about the food + drink… it seems never-ending this time of year.

    I feel the same way about eating & drinking more! My brother is in town and wants to go out to dinner, but I’m not even feeling that hungry! :/ (By the way, I tried taking him to the GH here, but they were closed too. Next time!) Looks like a nice afternoon at those vineyards. 🙂 Have a nice night!

    What a fun day! I love this holiday time. Did a turkey trot, then a snow hike, and today a park walk/jog w the hubby. I am loving this time.

    Mmmm… Pizza. We’re doing s’getti and salad. 😉

    I hear ya. I always feel ready for fruits and veggies after an extended period of eating/drinking. It’s nice to know the body craves that naturally!

    Looks like a fabulous day though – enjoy your last night with Matt/Larbs!

    I would also be pretty excited about having a restaurant all to myself. 🙂

    I hear you on the salad. I’ve had enough indulgent foods and I’m ready to get back to regular eating that doesn’t leave me wanting to take a nap.

    I feel you on the food thing. It’s like a cycle where you think well I’ve eaten this much so what’s the harm in one more bite and then you feel overly full ect ect. At least you got a nice run in! I think my motivation to exercise is at an all-time low, but I will definitely do better this next week!

    I’ve always thought that must be the best part of having a restaurant/bakery–leftovers! It’s so wild to think that you can’t sell things after a certain point because they’re not, as you put it, suitable for customer consumption anymore, even though they’re still plenty good! Glad to see that you guys make use of the leftovers instead of chucking it all in the trash!

    My friend Laura and I were at Blenheim on Saturday as well and I noticed you but didn’t say anything bc I felt bad interrupting your family picnic! I’ve never posted on your blog before but I read it daily and love it! Thanks for sharing your love of food and Charlottesville with us! They are two of my favorite things too!

    Next time I’ll say hi!
