Things we've been drinking

Shrimp Scampi, Garlic bread, Clown Shoes Clementine

We (I) first found Clementine at a bar in Chicago - Pippin's, pretty sure. Nicer dive-y place with great hotdogs and even better beer. I was really upset as I learned with each bar we went to that Chicago microbrews had such limited ability to export to other states, if they could manage to distribute at all. Really sad that I would possibly never have clementine again unless back in Windy City. Massachusetts is so weird about distribution and it's hard for small mid-west shops to distribute anyway with all big brewery conglomerates around.  Well wouldn't you know. Clown Shoes  is made in Massachusetts! Happy Day! Now, can someone tell me how I can get Great Lakes Eliot Ness to the Commonwealth?

Cocktail hour

Good follow up to the white wine I was having the other night, inbetween shaken white russion milkshakes. ALso good with eggplant parmisian, garlic bread, pasta and marinara. And while watching John Stewart. 

Project Placement

I finally found some posters I've been coveting of places we've been for a reasonable price! I got the New Orleans one from DeeDee:914 on Etsy. I found the other two art prints by Hero Design Studio on Fab.com * (which truly is Fab). I love that the San Fran and Chicago prints match, but wish I had looked around a little more. I found some awesome Chicago prints on Etsy. But I love that these three have the teal sky blue theme and wanted a common thread through our travelogue series. 

So then I framed everything, getting awesome prices and fitting all my odd sizes from Art to Frames. I usually get all my frames from Christmas Tree Shops, but they dont have large sized white wood frames. If you look at the rest of our house (besides the historical documents below), EVERYTHING is in Christmas Tree Shop white wood frames. Had to find something to match. Now, we're not sure about placement in the house, or even order of these prints. I do love them against the orange walls though. What do you think?
