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. 

Coming home. Over 400mi drive.

Our walk tired us out just enough. We drove the second leg of our trip to Tyler's folks house for a surprise visit. They were delighted, and so were we. Saw the folks, and saw Tyler's Dad and friend off to snowmobiling adventure. Fixed the computer, had a great chat, and cleaned out the fridge! It's no different at your house is it?

Then drove home and had leftovers. Passed out on the couch. Over 400 mi driven in 24 hours! Got a lot accomplished, dont you think?

This is how Tyler does leftovers in our house:
Homemade pita, hummus, and all the fixings. Nice dinner after short long weekend!

Mountain Road

I'd love to be a Mountain Mamma. For now, I just pretend through the window of the car.
