RNR DC Weekend Recap
This weekend was crazy: crazy fun, crazy cold, crazy stressful, crazy busy. No boring here this weekend. I’m linking up with Tara over at Running ‘n’ Reading for my weekend recap.
Three Things Thursday
1. I could never be a food blogger. Beer Geek and I went to an amazing beer and food pairing dinner at Mad Fox last night. The beers, as I expected, were amazing. But the food. Oh, the food. The chef went with a BBQ theme – we had jerk chicken wings and lamb and…
Slump + WIAW
I don’t like summer. There. I said it. I sometimes feel like the only person on the planet who could happily live someplace where the temperature never goes above 75 degrees. I just don’t like being hot. And let’s not talk about the Virginia humidity. Gross. I struggle every year at this time. Just as…
2 things Thursday + Pin It Party
1. I’m finally feeling normal. I took naps three days in a row this week, which is pretty much unheard of for me. But they weren’t optional. My body pretty much said “Sleep. Now.” So I did. Yesterday I finally went out in my Kinvara 4’s and ran a fast for me 4 miles. I…
WIAW: The Beer Dinner Edition
Every year we donate a dinner to our sons’ school auction. It’s a four course beer and food pairing dinner. This was our fourth year and I have to say it may have been the best yet. The food turned out perfect, the beers paired near perfectly and the company was awesome. This year’s food…
WIAW #2: The Beer Dinner Edition
You knew it was coming. As soon as I start blogging about food, you KNOW I’m going to start talking about beer. If you are a friend on Facebook, you know I had “breakfast” for dinner (scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast) with a Starr Hill “The Gift” to drink one night. Yes, I do believe…
2nd Annual Craft Beer Dinner
In spring, we donated a “Craft Beer Dinner” to the annual PTA fundraiser/auction at Jones’ school. Saturday was the first date that all three couples who won could make it. Each couple paid a pretty penny to come to the dinner, and while I realize they did that mostly to support the school, I felt…
Pork with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
This is the recipe I used for my beer tasting dinner this year. I followed the recipe pretty exactly and personally felt like it was a bit too much cream. I think I would have liked a more intense chipotle flavor. *Recipe adapted from The Best of American Beer and Food Ingredients: 4 pounds pork…
Beer me!
How convenient that a “recovery” week and a busy week preparing for our little dinner party fell in the same week. I’ve been crazy busy, but in a good way. I’m probably about to bore most of my readers, but I need to write this someplace I won’t lose it. If we do this again…
