Food Glorious Food!

This weekend included lots of projects for the house (still working, posts to come later) and lots of food!

On Saturday night was went to Iron Age - a Korean BBQ place. We had all you can eat brisket and pork belly - both which were good even though they were fatty.






I think my favorite was the lettuce :-D Greens with sesame oil, red wine vinegar and red pepper (hot). mmmmmm. They also had soft serve ice cream! Good time with friends.

On Sunday KTL and I went to Holeman & Finch - home of one of the top 10 burgers in the country.
We started with deviled eggs (one with bresaola, one with sriracha and one with pickled sunchoke). They were good.

And then the burger. Oh man, the first bite was AWESOME. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. The french fries were crispy (just like I like them!) and the catsup was homemade (and delish...I usually never have catsup!)

We also had a "southern Cola". Diet coke, amaro and a lime juice ice cube. So yummy.


We finished the lunch with bacon-caramel popcorn. This was the only "eh" to the whole meal. There were only 3 pieces of bacon in it.

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

By
We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce.  We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms.  What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients.  I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again.  The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell.  I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer.  The texture was a+.  I felt like the crust had zero taste.  I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce.  I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

Robin's Egg Blue

By
What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...
