Things have been a bit slow on the blog lately, but I have a good excuse! This Friday, I’m leaving to spend two months in California working in hospitals at Stanford and San Francisco. I’ve been spending my “blogging time” savoring as many moments as I can with Pat before we’re apart for two months.
This weekend, we headed to Chicago so I could run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon. More on that later. On the way home, we stopped at Culver’s for some well-deserved custard (1). So, so good. There was a classic car meetup in town and there were many old jalopies to admire in the parking lot.
Two of Pat’s friends from his study abroad days in South Africa were in town. We checked out Forequarter (2), the new restaurant from Underground Food Collective. It was fantastic. Even simple things like an heirloom tomato appetizer were done so thoughtfully. They also had great craft cocktails with fun ingredients like rhubarb! It was so nice to catch up with old friends.
Pat surprised me with a scone from our favorite breakfast spot, Lazy Jane’s. Their scones are legendary and are so popular they have to limit the number people buy. (3)
Pat also made these awesome pancakes (4) with blueberries, chocolate chips, pecans and nutmeg. What can I say, I’m spoiled!
