This was an awesome week because it involved 2 reunions with R (one on each side of the country) and minimal work days. Our weekends naturally revolved around a LOT of food, so most of my photos are of yummy goodness. :)
April 17, 2011: A flight of bubbly was a good way to show the woman at Vintage Wine Bar that I am indeed not a child under 21. Don't worry, the flight was only 3 glasses - the other 3 are R's white wine.
April 18, 2011: I'm obsessed with airplane magazine crossword puzzles.
April 19, 2011: 20 thankful emails were written in 45 minutes.April 20, 2011: Week 3 and I've already started forgetting to photograph. Oopsie.
April 21, 2011: Enter Target to buy one thing. Leave Target $85 poorer and without the one needed item.
April 22, 2011: After gossiping over wine until 5am the night before, R and I began our foodie weekend. A rainy afternoon was spent with lunch at Fosters, then cozy cappuccinos and an oatmeal cookie at Guglhupf.
Dinner involved cocktails, hush puppies, sweet potato fries, grits, fried okra, and BBQ tofu and pork at The Pit and a creme brulee trio with cocktails and espresso at buku.
April 23, 2011: A food tour of Raleigh? Yes please. First up was bruschetta, tater tots, fried green tomatoes, and local sparkling pear beer at Busy Bee Cafe. Next was pork sliders (soy chorizo taco for me though) at Market, a chocolate-making tour at Escazu, salad at The Mint, and tacos and agua fresca at Dos Taquitos accompanied by cupcakes from The Cupcake Shoppe. The first two stops were our faves in terms of food quality, but The Mint had the best ambiance. We went back after the tour to enjoy cocktails on their patio.
After vegging at home for a bit, we got hungry again and decided on a lazy dinner of basil martinis, spring rolls, drunken noodles, and penang curry at Sawasdee. Yes, the rice is heart-shaped. Random.
What better way to end the weekend than with bubbly, strawberries, tiramisu, and SATC?Thank you R for being the hostess with the mostest and then catering to my whim of eating our way through Raleigh!
