Toast

Hi Friends,

This weekend has been quite relaxing so far. Honestly, today has been most settled I’ve felt since the move back in June. All our furniture is here and the only thing we have left to do is hang a million pictures. My body also seems to be adjusting to my work schedule because I actually had the energy to go out last night.

Matt and I walked over to Toast, a little cafe on Main St. that pairs imported Italian meats with fresh local ingredients to make amazing sandwiches.

I ordered a panini with portobellos, fontina, tomato and arugula.

It was divine, but Matt’s kale, ricotta, and sweet and spicy pickled peppers panini won my heart. We ended up trading fourths. I experience food envy often.

And thanks to a giftcard from Matt’s mom, our dinner was free!! Thanks, Candace. We’ll definitely be going back because there are many more combinations I want to try and it’s so close to our apt.

After dinner, we walked over to Central Park to say hi to my dad (he was listening to free blues in the park) and then we met some new friends for drinks at West End wine bar. I obviously went with a German riesling, although my second drink was a Fat Tire because wine was making me too thirsty. Our evening was filled with good conversation and then deep slumber.

Today has included a treadmill run, a Trader Joe’s visit, and a trip to DSW for new flats for work. Now it’s Saturday night, and you guessed it, I’m about to pop a brew and then go out to dinner. Enjoy the evening.

    Those sandwiches look and sound amazing! I always end up liking my husband’s food more. He is such a good order-er. (Yes, I made up a word.)
