Unpretentious. Good food. Hopefully go back for the good wine. Good price. Good friend. What more could you ask for? A friend and I celebrated hump day by taking advantage of Triangle Restaurant Week and went to a new place for us both, Vivace in North Hills. I will definitely pay a return (or two [...]

Much & Link Love: MLK
1. I’m very thankful for MLK. Not only for his vision for racial equality (or however you want to say it), but also because we get a day off. Not that I won’t be working today, I’ll just be working from my bed and then my second office (different location). 2. Honest here: Its been [...]

This place came highly recommended and it is out of the downtown area, so parking is not a problem. 1. Great decor. 2. Low-key (yes, I know it was the off season) 3. Had a great waitress who allowed us to stay there pretty much as long as we wanted (a little over 2 hours) [...]

Happy New Year! When do you get tired of hearing that? I usually have to wait until after my birthday, which is tomorrow. New Years and birthdays, both great. I used to dislike having a birthday so close to Christmas (school was out so I never got to celebrate it in school), but now I [...]

Went to lunch with some co-workers today to really talk about children’s ministry – and you can definitely talk for a while over chips and salsa. We went to a place across the street from the church called El Rodeo (no www). Typical mexican place – nicer ambience than some other local places. Liked our [...]

Majudra, majadra – however you spell it – spell it my new fave comfort food. Cheap, warm, perfect as a salad topping, caramelized onions – can it get any better? I had seen this as a recipe, and I have had the recipe, but I had not made it yet. Then, 2 weeks ago I [...]

I liked this recipe. It was from a health magazine and put a twist on my normal roasted vegetables. Maple syrup instead of olive oil was the main topping and the bits of real ginger in there made this better than it would have been without it. I changed the quantities based on what I [...]
