reflections on labor day weekend...

I suppose I forgot what it feels like to spend time outside since this summer has been so blisteringly hot, but Labor Day felt blissful! The day began with the typical "Where do you want to go for lunch?" question. Requirements included a patio and beer. An obvious choice was The Real Pickle. The patio only spurred on the desire to spend every minute outdoors, hence another decision was made to go straight to the park with all the lawn games we own! Frisbees, bocce, foxtail ball, a few chairs, and Sausage Bear in tow, I was even rollerblade clad!

After we had our Vitamin C fill at the park, Cory and Shelley lended their backyard grill to some corn husks and vegetable skewers. Do you remember that feeling when you were a kid after spending an entire day playing outside? Do you recall how good it felt when you laid your head on the pillow to go to sleep? Extremely exhausted and incredibly happy... that is how I felt this Labor Day.


Do you still follow the no white after Labor Day rule?

pickles and reubens and crab claws, oh my!

We all have our "go-to" restaurants. The place you know will be good every time-no matter what. The Real Pickle and Herby K's are those places for me. I can't go to the Real Pickle without getting the reuben sandwich and even when I think I want to try something new at Herby K's, when ordering time comes I blurt out "the oyster loaf and marinated crab claws, please!" There is something about a place with a patio, some random things hanging on the wall, and a great glass of beer that keeps me coming back - that and a nap that inevitably follows an empty plate.
What are your favorite restaurants?
