eat real + awesome company = good times


this saturday we went to the eat real food festival. we didn't ride our bikes which was a shame but i will go on a bike adventure next weekend with the mister! maybe two...we have one planned for friday after work but i am thinking we should also do one on saturday...gotta get on that! anyways my friend, who i visited in boston was in town so she came over for some waffles with bananas...super yummy! her knee hurt as well as the misters so we opted to just drive there.
man was it busy when we got there...we arrived around 11:30 and went straight to the drink ticket line to get some beer tickets and our very own mason jar :) we swam through the hundreds of people to find the beer stand...there were so many beers to choose from but i know my favorites...either a stout or porter for me!!! i tried the eel river stout which was yummy! after we got our drinks we found a little place on the grass and sat in the sun and listened to the dj....we stayed there the entire time...the view was great...so many people to watch which is favorite past time...


i love the reflection in my glasses :)

a cute little folk group was up next...they reminded my of a singer from the 60's called melanie...check her out if you don't know her...she is pretty great!



then walked around to get some food....tacos!!! really yummy and then went to try out the porter which was by far my favorite!



we were out of drink tickets so we packed it in and on our way out got in line at the strauss ice cream line. it was the longest line we sat in which ended up not being so bad but boy was it worth it!! i got a double scoop with brown sugar banana and the other scoop was dutch chocolate. i need to find were they sell it because the brown sugar ice cream was the business!! after that we headed home and the mister and i made the best bbq lamb and veggies ever! saturday was a continuous gourmet meal :D

hope you all had a great weekend! it was so nice to hang out with my two favorite people and just shoot the shit :D

4 simple goals update: finished one of my craft projects, yay!!! vintage fabric necklaces!! when i have a spare moment will take some photos to share! also started my next project ....embroidery!!

    Melanie is great! Which reminds me...to answer your question...Bobbie the cat is named after the singer Bobbie Gentry.
    How is little Rosalita doing?
