Happy 7th Anniversary

Today is our 7th Anniversary, its hard to believe our wedding was that long ago already! Last night, we went out to celebrate and had a really great time. We dressed up a little more than usual for our date night of dinner and a movie, so we wanted to get our picture taken. The [...]

NYC Visit Journal

Since we returned from our trip Erin and I have been asked often “What did you do in NY?” and we have had a hard time answering, since we packed so many things into a couple days. So I decided to list it all out, to try and remember it all if nothing else, so [...]

My goals for NYC are food and art – and lots of it

Erin and I are off to NYC this weekend and I am getting hungry just thinking about it. Because the first thing we did when we decided we were going, was to think about where we could go eat. I watch tons of cooking shows and can recognize way too many chefs by name or [...]

People always say they can tell I have lost weight. Unfortunately, I usually have not lost any recent weight, and even worse I often know for a fact I gained weight since last time they saw me. So what does that mean? It means that their lasting impression of me is an even fatter version [...]

Serious about sammiches

I take sandwiches seriously, so much so I recognize the difference between a sandwich and a sammich!
So last night when I decided to make a quick sandwich for dinner, Erin warned me that I would have to have a sandwich again the next day for lunch, I chuckled to myself and said “I guess I [...]

A Watermelon Tiki sounds good right about now

Had a great Martini at Bonefish Grill in Knoxville. It’s called a Watermelon Tiki or Fresh Watermelon Martini.
The drink is hand-muddled fresh watermelon, fresh sour and house-made cucumber vodka infusion.
Here is the mixology, that the waitress was kind enough to share:

2 pieces watermelon muddled
2 ounces FRÏS Vodka infused with cucumber
Splash sweet sour
