Day-Trippin’ at Starr Hill Brewery
Seeing as one of the best breweries in the country is less than a 2 hour drive from home, we had a full weekend planned!
I made my first floor pillow…
That’s right I did it, made my first floor pillow! Not only was this my first sewing project, but the very first project I’ve completed with my brand new sewing machine! (Thank you Hubs) Continue reading “I made my first floor pillow…”
Date Night – Dinner at Station 2 (Hubby’s Review)
Tonight, my wife and I visited the Station 2 – Burgers, Fire & Brew restaurant. This building used to be an old firehouse that has been converted into a restaurant with a wide open dining area with an inviting atmosphere. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted promptly and shown to our table. The interior was simple and modern with a twist of hipster flare.

Sushi at Home – Date or Family Night
Although I have made Sushi a few times before, I am so glad I did a little research and a little chatting about a few secrets to making really good sushi!!
I wanted focused on a few keys things, good rice, good grades of fish, uniform slices of veggies, and a good sharp knife.
For tonight’s sushi, I am making 5 rolls. My sweet husband and I have chosen tuna, salmon and imitation crab meat. Tuna will be used to make both a spicy tuna roll and a regular tuna roll. Salmon will be used for a salmon roll. And of course, the California roll calls for the imitation crab.
And Puppy makes three… for a lazy and safe New Years Eve!
Found these amazing little treats for our dog Lucy!! Hey, if we’re eating and drinking, she needs a little sumthin’ sumthin’ too! Thanks to Three Dog Bakery for these pupstries (or pastries for the un-cornies out there)! A PupCake and a Boxer Brownie!! Check them out at: http://www.threedog.com

Lots to see at the Plant Sale
On Saturday the girls, (me, my Mom and my niece) spent a beautiful afternoon at the Lewis Ginter Plant Sale. Lots to see and purchase from trees to veggies, herbs to orchids.
Local farms and nurseries were out in full force
.
Radical Roots Farm and Tricycle Gardens are familiar faces offering beautiful organic veggies, fruits and herbs.
Urban Backyard Edibles were also at the plant sale, offering a variety of services and beautiful raised beds. Raised beds are great for renters or folks that are into small scale gardening. Raised beds are also great for “square foot gardening“.
