Taking Back My Twenties

New Eateries

It felt so good to stay in Durham this weekend and resume normal life.

I ran, I did laundry, I caught up with friends, and I saw a rainbow.

This weekend was all about enjoying friends and Durham, so a group of us tried a new tapas place (Taberna) that opened while I was gone this summer. They don’t yet have a liquor license, so we brought our own wine = awesome.

The tapas were reasonably priced and tasty too. These sweet potato fries topped with pulled pork were a brilliant idea.

Bacon wrapped dates are always one of my favs.

Lots of meat!

Saturday, I was feeling under the weather, so after running a bunch of errands, we just grabbed a pizza at a new establishment (Lilly’s Pizza)

It’s definitely a new favorite because of the crust and the interesting (and fresh) toppings. Half was covered with black bean salsa, cheddar, green chiles, and cilantro, and half was a Thai theme with all kinds of veggies, chicken, and a curry sauce. Most unique pizza I’ve had in a while! I also watched The Rum Diaries (with Johhny Depp) – it’s pretty weird, but really entertaining. I’d recommend it for a Saturday night in.

I’m really behind on my movies these days. What else is good?

    I’m pretty sure that pulled pork over sweet potato fries sounds like the most amazing thing ever. I need to find a way to make that happen here in Boston!
