As some of you who read my blog know, I was in Maryland last month for a conference. While there, my friends and I stopped at a restaurant called SUCCOTASH. Oh. Em. Gee. What a deliciously casual southern, yet decadent, restaurant experience. (They had smoked trout roe on the fried oyster po’ boy, y’all!)
Ahh – March Madness, I love you! You guys… my University of Minnesota Golden Gophers danced all the way to to a 5 seed this year! To say I’m excited is an understatement. While it’s true I live deep in Badger country (Gopher fan friends question my sanity, Badger fan friends TRY to tolerate me), I bleed maroon and gold. Badger fan friends have reminded me that the Gophers against 12th ranked Middle Tennessee has upset written all over it, but I’m all in. I can’t wait for the game!
I’m writing this post on an almost 60 degree day in FEBRUARY in WISCONSIN. Dare I say it – spring is in the air!
What are the two things I love about spring the most you ask?
One – walking our yellow lab Ruby (short for Rubysaurus Rex) is actually an enjoyable after dinner activity. Imagine my relief when all I have to put on is a pair of tennis shoes (and not 100 layers of clothes) to keep warm.
Two – Although farm season will soon be in full swing and I won’t get to see my business manager/farmer hubby as often, the farm will soon be producing beautiful, delicious veggies for their CSAs as far as the eye can see. I. Can’t. Wait.
