HEY!!!!
Yesterday was seriously the worlds longest dance party thanks to all of your recommendations!! I SKIPPED OUT on YOGA (!!) to stay at home and keep dancing!! Girl Talk is still my current favorite–but all of your recommendations have been in dance party rotation!! THANK YOUUUUUU!!
As I mentioned previously I lived under my grad school musicless rock for almost 2 years!! So it’s only been the past few months that I’ve been made music a priority in my life again–
BREAKFAST (this looks so good to me right now as I lay in bed STARVING while I write this post!!)
GH bread + havarti + cinnamon + brown sugar toast.. HEAVEN!! HEAVEN!! HEAVEN!!
OH and TWO HUGE farm fresh eggs –country scrambled –mmm mmm mmm!!
I went adventurous at lunch.. I knew I wanted seafood + that I needed to eat my green beans + mesculine mix.. So I created this happy party in a bowl–
A HUGE bed of mesculine + A TON of fresh green beans sauteed with garlic + 3 jumbo shrimp from TJs + Hot Sauce..
SO SURPRISINGLY DELICIOUS!! Have I mentioned that I think I may be turning into one of those “Hot Sauce People”?? I want it on EVERYTHING.. I actually had to stop myself from putting it on my eggs for breakfast..
Then I went to work.. I’m usually not one to b*tch —especially on B+B —but I HAVE TO today–
Dear Charlotte Firebirds South Park Patrons,
Here’s the thing–If you come to our lovely dining destination for our $5 martini specials PLEASE keep in mind that these drinks involve what seems like millions of ingredients + are a HUGE PAIN IN MY TINY TAIL. Also keep in mind that you are sitting OUTSIDE–the drinks are made by yours truly INSIDE. So basically I am running around at ninety-two miles an hour (yes,it is a new human record.. I outran a leopard in Africa last month) and you are ordering all of the cheap stuff and tipping cheaply. My ultimatum to you–order a beer or a glass of wine OR just simply learn how to tip accordingly. Please + Thank you.
Cheers!!

After my lovely (lie) night at work I went to Thomas St Tavern so someone else could serve ME a beer!!
I had a Fat Tire.
Followed by another Fat Tire with my newly acquired friends for the evening..
They were stranded in Charlotte since their flight to LA was cancelled.. Hi Guys!! Hope you make it to the wedding!!
Everything in Plaza Midwood was closing around 12 —on a Thursday —SUPER LAME..
The most UBER LAME part was that I had originally gone out for a black bean burger + a beer + I never even got to eat dinner!!
So the party ensued in NODA —where everything was closed except for Solstice..
I had some kind of IPA..
Then another Fat Tire.. I probably had enough kcals in beer to count as dinner..
These REDONKULOUS berries kept falling out of a tree + hitting me in the head–I thought the first one that hit me was a bug.. I squealed like a little girl!!
And yes Nate–a food blogger had FOUR beers + NO DINNER + blogged about it..
An EXTRA SPECIAL CHEERS!! goes out to SARAH from TALES OF EXPANSION for a fantastic post of the FOODBUZZ NYC party + actually remembering the names of something like the three milllllion foods that she ate!! Cheers SARAH!!
CHEERS!!
B+B
Mmmmmm,I love the presentation of your food!!! It looks like you had a fun night
:D
All the colors in your photo make me super happy!!!!!
I LOVE the plate your breakfast is on! Plus your breakfast looks extra tasty.
Cheap tippers are obnoxious! I always make sure I generously tip because I know the work that goes into making everything. Boo to them!
Those are Mulberries falling on your head! Don’t eat them,they make you loopy.
yay for industry drinking after hours!
thanks for the shout,kelsey!
your amaaaaaaaaaazing havarti cinnamon brown sugar gh toast is driving me nuts right now. it’s kind of a good thing i don’t have bread or cheese at the moment because i think both would vanish within the next 10 seconds.
you are such a rebel with that beer dinner. i approve.
(and also,mulberries are delicious! but they have to be ripe,and i don’t think those are …)
Drinking and blogging…great combo!!!
hahhahaha –great post!!
In my health class in MIDDLE SCHOOL we once had to write down all we ate in a week. So some smartypants boy comes back and wrote down “BEER”as apart of his Sunday brunch and our teacher proceeds to tell us the healthy affects of beer. Whole grains,carbs for energy,etc etc. Did he forget we were only 12?!?!!
did you taste the crazy falling berries?
Oh geez,sorry for the cruddy tippers at work. It’s so frustrated not to feel appreciated at all,especially when you’re doing above and beyond the norm. You definitely deserved you night out! Hope today goes much better for you!
Here’s something worse than the cheap tippers:when I used to work at Starbucks,there was this guy who would come in every day for a latte ($3.48) and hand us the $3 and then reach into OUR tip jar for the 48 cents!!! AND he was a doctor!!! It’s like,um,no,that’s my grocery money —stop stealing my tips!
Havarti &cinnamon/sugar on toast? Interesting combo.
And I won’t get into the whole debate on tipping while out. I have issues with the whole thing. I loved being in Australia,where you don’t tip.
hot sauce + eggs = delicious.
I think everyone should have to work in a restaurant at least once in their life- it changes your perspective about so many things and it also makes you an awesome tipper! I only did one summer of waitressing in college,but now when when we go out I really take care of the waitstaff (and bartender!!).
I saw Girl Talk Live –AMAZING!
Totally justifiable to have a “liquid”dinner every now and then. It’s the college student’s diet,right?!?!
Your breakast certainly makes up for your lack of dinner. Hope you recreated this and refueled yourself.
Have a great weekend Kelsey!
Go with your gut Kelsey and dump that hot sauce on your eggs! I’m a Cholula and eggs FANATIC!
Haha…I know how ya feel Kels…Just as bad as people who tip on their checks on the amount BEFORE their giftcards! However,I am guilty of ordering $5 drinks at Firebirds! I came in Friday am w/ a friend and had 2 margaritas on the patio! But I left a good tip,of course! =D
