June 16 Dinner: Father’s Day Dinner at Dad’s!
I headed to Dad’s on Sunday evening to celebrate Father’s Day. He and S had a Boston butt on the Big Green Egg and collards on the stove. Hooray for BBQ!!
We watched the US Open on TV and watching Rowdy and Turbo spar with each other (they never stop!), then settled in for a tasty meal of pulled pork, potato salad, collards, and cracklin’ bread. A fun and relaxing day!
June 16 Lunch: Happy Meal from McDonald’s
Soooooo. This happened. What can I say? I was there, it was calling me, I felt compelled. But karma bit me in the ass: the minute I started eating, I got ketchup on my white jeans. Karma, I tell you.
June 15 Dinner: Pesto Chicken Wrap + Fries at Ormsby’s
Some folks at my last agency decided to get together for dinner and cocktails on Saturday evening at Ormsby’s. It was a lot of fun catching up with the people who attended! I managed to make it through half of this wrap, but man, this was a lot of food!
Ormsby’s is a lot of fun, though it definitely attracts a younger crowd. They have a lot of games - bocce, shuffleboard, darts, pool, board games - that sort of thing. That makes it fun that you’re not just standing around drinking, but there’s always a line for all these features, so if you go, prep yourself for that!
June 15 Lunch: Soup + Sandwich at Metrofresh
After yoga, I rolled over to my favorite whole foods restaurant in town: Metrofresh! I got a Thai Coconut Curry Soup (ridiculously good) and a veggie & goat cheese sandwich (another yum!).
If you live in the Atlanta area and haven’t yet tried this place, you really ought to! So yummy and I love that the menu constantly changes!
Beginner’s Flow at Tough Love Yoga
I decided to check out another class at Tough Love Yoga. I honestly think that I’m past a beginner’s level. But when I first took a class here, I found that the instructor was talking through a lot of technical stuff I hadn’t heard before so perhaps the beginner’s class would be a good option. On top of that, I’m always worried that I’m doing positions wrong since the majority of my yoga practice has been at places that didn’t really focus on proper technique, just more on the fitness aspect.
While I do think this class was a bit easy for me, I did feel sore the next day, so I must have been doing something right! I really like this studio…I’m thinking I might buy a packet of yoga classes…we’ll see.
Next up at this studio….METAL YOGA.
YES.
June 15 Breakfast: Leftover Thai Food
Thai food at 10 in the morning? No big deal.
June 14 Dinner: Rainy Day Tomato Soup + Stilton Salad at The Shakespeare Tavern
Mom and I saw Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead at The Shakespeare Tavern on Friday. Such a good time! I love this soup! It’s kind of our thing: we each get a bowl then split the salad. And then there’s the apple crisp during intermission. SO DELICIOUS.
Coworker Happy Hour!
My team and I headed over to Mi Cocina for drinks and dinner. I had a date with my mom so I only stuck around for a cocktail, but it was tasty!
June 14 Lunch: Pad Thai & Kay Pad Prik Kingh (I think) from Tamarind Seed
A coworker and I decided to make last-minute lunch plans at Tamarind Seed. I’ve been wanting to go here for a while so I was excited! The Pad Thai was really good and so was the other dish my friend ordered - I think she got the Kay Pad Prik Kingh, but I’m not positive. I was excited to share our dishes - pushes me outside my comfort zone!
June 13 Dinner: Sushi from Aloha
On Thursday night, I had planned to pick up a little sushi from Gekko, but then it started pouring, so I decided to order sushi delivery from Aloha. It was a combo dinner and it was more sushi than I expected! I only made it through about half of this. When you factor in the soup and salad it comes with, that’s a lot of food.
