Weekend

A restaurant. Home improvement. The market. A birthday party. Shopping. Yoga. A cookout. Great weekend packed with things!!

On a rainy Friday night we tried out a new restaurant here in Cville – Sedona Taphouse. It has a bazillion beers on tap and in bottle, so it was right up our alley. We shared a flatbread and I had a crab cake salad. Also a beer sampler with New Holland Dragon’s Milk – one of my favs!

Foodblog-

Saturday Matt baked sweets at the bakery in the morning (which has a 3:30am start time) and Mazen and I went on a long walk on our way to the City Market. It was so crisp out I got excited for Fall and when I told this to Matt he got mad at me – for some reason he does not like “the death of Fall” when compared to the “abundance of summer.”

Foodblog-7796

We will be excited when cooler weather makes our walks longer and more enjoyable though!

Foodblog-7799

Foodblog-7805

The market was boomin’

Foodblog-7807

I paid Heather a visit to No Bull Burgers!

Foodblog-7802

Mazen had a sample. He loves them!

Foodblog-7803

I also found a new vendor making juice!

Foodblog-7810

I decided to try out one of the greenest ones

Foodblog-7809

Whew was it green!! But very refreshing for a summertime pre-yoga snack.

Foodblog-151929

After the market we hung out around the house working on some projects – such as cleaning the grill.

GROSS! Soaking grates.

Foodblog-7816

Making the beds

Foodblog-7818

And my favorite – touching up paint!

Foodblog-7819

Thanks Matt <3

Foodblog-7795

Saturday evening we headed to the park to celebrate Mazen’s friend Simon’s first birthday!!

Salads, chips, veggies, BBQ!

Look at these sweet boys playin’.

And sharing!

Foodblog-7836

Simon had a good time with his cake – first he tested the waters

Foodblog-7837

And then he said “just get in my belly already!’”

Foodblog-7841

Back home, once Maze went to sleep, Matt and I had a Mad Men party with Manhattans to celebrate the end of Netflix and Season 5

Foodblog-7866

Here’s my Don impression:

Foodblog-7870

We toasted to the end of our era only to realize that Season 6 is all on Comcast On Demand, so there is more to see! Yay!

Foodblog-7869

Ahh sweet Sunday.

Foodblog-152142

We were up at 5:45. I went for a short run. Then out shopping at Homegoods all by myself!

I bought the seagrass mirror on the left for the basement, which has been slowly getting a facelift of sophistication to balance out all the toys. I coveted the piece on the right for jar storage in the kitchen! It won’t fit in mine – maybe it will fit in yours?

Foodblog--2

Late afternoon I joined my friend Genevieve for a BAPTISTE HOT POWER YOGA class!! Our friend Curry is working on opening a studio. While it is yet to be determined how or when, she’s getting the word out with some pop-up classes. We flowed in 90 degrees for 90 minutes in her open living room with about 12 other people and had a great class!! Tons of sweat. Loved it.

Foodblog-174945

Karen joined us for Sunday dinner from the grill – carrots (great grilled!), eggplant and London Broil.

Foodblog-7891

Foodblog-7902

Matt and I shared an ice cream sandwich from the market for dessert. Yum!

    Not sure where to start – the grilled veggies, all that AMAZING fruit, Mazen and Simon in the pack and play… Just a lot of great stuff.

    I am not a fan of summer heat at all. In fact, Fall is “typically” my favorite time of the year. Except these last few years I’ve not liked it as much because I think about the long Winter ahead. I am NOT a Winter fan! If we could go from Spring to Fall to Spring again, I would be a happy girl! 🙂

    So fun to read about your market trips, because mine are always so similar! I was too overwhelmed by the many options to buy a juice last week–but good to know you liked the super green one! And, I went for a pop tart rather than an nice cream sandwich from that new vendor–what flavor ice cream sandwich did you all try?

    Also, I can’t believe how soon M will be the one have his 1st birthday party! Wow!

    What great looking fruit at the market and grilled veggies at your home! I love that you and Matt capitalize on together time, and especially with those good looking cocktails. I personally am also a fall girl, but I will miss the summer produce once it begins to wane again!

    All those fresh berries looked amazing at the market…the grilled veggies looked amazing. I just love summer abundance. The heat here in Southern Ontario is on high…early morning runs are a must…even then I end up soaked! I could do with one of those juice laundry drinks. 🙂

    It has been cooler here in Colorado as well and I couldn’t help but get excited for fall to arrive. It was only a few months ago that I was pining for the arrival of summer. I need to just learn to live in the moment. It’s so typical… always wanting what I can’t have 😉

    67 days until Fall! But whose counting…oh yeah, ME!!! The heat has made all of my herbs bolt and has made evenings on the patio more rare. Double boo! Your farmers market looks amazing, I would love to go to one like that.

    I LOVE the mirror you bought! So cute! Now I’m wondering if our Home Goods carries it, it would look dang good in my living room! 🙂

    And your Don Draper impression is right-on 😉

    Those grilled veggies look delicious! Do you do anything prior to putting the carrots on the grill so they don’t take so long? I have tried grilling them on several occasions, but it seems like they are always raw in the center.

    Looks like a great weekend indeed – I must try grilling carrots. They are appearing more and more in our weekly veggie delivery, never thought to grill them!

    I need to ask and I mean no offence – but what’s happening with your legs in the picture with you holding the drink? Looks kind of odd?
