Ok, I have a confession to make.  We suck.  We were not able to get our posts done nightly while on our Connecticut trip so we thought we would just post them daily once we returned and make sure the “publish” dates corresponded to the dates of our trip.  You know, published retroactively.  Sounds like [...]

It has been a fun, but LONG day! We left our friends in Colchester around 8am this morning. Since then we have driven ALL OVER CONNECTICUT…literally!  We’ll recap that in a later post. After many hours of driving, peeping, eating, taking LOTS o’pics and having a generally good time we eventually landed in the City [...]

Beer Guy told you about our orchard fun yesterday.  I have to say that while it may not have FELT like Fall while we were there, it certainly LOOKED like Fall. We  were greeted by this fabulous tree under which were apples galore (all from the orchard) and plenty o’mums. Outside the quaint farmhouse store [...]

We awoke on Saturday, refreshed after good sleep and even better company, as we were hosted by old friends (and 2 new ones) in Colchester, CT. Happily the day started with home-made muffins and not with hundreds of miles of driving. This morning, in fact, I didn’t even have to drive. Our host hitched up [...]

We left the DC area in a bit of a fog this morning, literally… Doesn’t it look like we are about to drive out into an unknown void?  Crazy! But, thankfully, it was not a “void.”  We had a very specific destination today. Well, two actually.  Ultimately we were headed for Colchester, CT to spend [...]

I apparently can’t blog and travel at the same time.  That will definitely go on my list of skills to improve upon as part of this blog is supposed to be about investigating the world around us a little more. We took plenty of pictures and made plenty of notes, but some how never got [...]

So when we started this blog we promised it would be about new adventures, near and far – food, beer, wine, travel, photography and the like.  As you may have noticed, it’s been a little food and beverage heavy around here.  Well, never fear.  We are about to get a little more adventurous around here…meaning [...]

Y’all remember how I lamented the  Shrimp & Grits I had last week from Charlotte’s Bite Your Tongue, right?  I can’t help it, though.  You see, I’m spoiled…but let me back up. I told y’all I went to Ole Miss, didn’t I?  Ole Miss is located in a town I love like no other – Oxford, [...]

“Kitchen doesn’t travel.  You must eat it where it’s born.”  I’m taking that seriously these days.  The Beer Guy and I have been at the coast.  Guess what’s born at the coast? SEAFOOD! And what is the Mac Daddy of all seafood? LOBSTER! So, when in Rome (or Hilton Head, but you get the point)… [...]

We’re hot and sweaty at the Quarterdeck in Harbortown, Hilton Head. WineGirl and I have been riding bikes around the resort for the last 3 hours. We rolled up to the cafe, racked the cycles, and the first bottle was gone before I had a chance to review. So, round 2! The lager is pale [...]
