Early Birds and Bitchy Backs

I'm not quite sure how it can be Sunday afternoon already. It's been a fast weekend. I worked Friday evening and then Saturday til early afternoon. After that we went to a surprise party for a friend and then meandered over to Pygmalion. It had barely opened so I kind of felt like I was at an earlybird buffet in Vegas....but I knew if I went home I wouldn't come back and I did want to try some of the food offerings. I love that they were doing food this year. Seth Fein and company are so damned smart. We went with Bacaro's Braised Short Ribs: roasted fall vegetables, potato puree, braising reduction (Triple S Farms, North Avoca, Clay Bank Farm, Blue Moon). Sue's take on it was that it was too expensive for something we could have made but I don't know....I thought it was pretty great. Then we did the Jerk Wings (Miller Amish chicken, local habanero and scotch bonnet peppers) from Watson's Shack & Rail. They didn't taste that spicy at first but it crept up on you perfectly. Then we were too full to have anything else which isn't bad for $12 for two people. I accompanied it with a Lemon Bourbon Fizz which was hella lemony as Owen would say. I felt like staying but there was no place to sit (because it's for people younger than me) and my back was bitching at me. We stopped at the Esquire so we could sit, chatted to various friends and headed home.

See? We were so early that it was just old people and kids....although others began to flock in....

As we walked over to Fries and Peanuts I admired my favorite street in town and its sidewalks. Those sidewalks are so beautiful that on the right day they will make me cry.

When we got home the morning's morning glories weren't completely gone by....fall is coming....
