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!)
It’s no secret that I like food – more specifically GOOD food. I admit it; I am a self-professed foodie. I am that girl that takes pictures of her food and labors over what to order at a restaurant because SO MANY THINGS SOUND DELICIOUS! That being said, when my husband and I can’t agree on where to go for dinner, an easy compromise for us is the Mexican restaurant down the street. Not only is their food to. die. for., but even picky eaters can usually find something on the menu they like.
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.
