I went to play with ASHLEY while she made more OTA.BARS for the market!!
The kitchen smelled SO. GOOD.
We sipped TJ’s HONEYMOON —a delicious viognier.

Then to REVOLUTION for dinner–Second time this week + In the same bar seats!!
We parked in a ghetto rigged parking lot..
Check out the instructions to pay for parking–

Again.. I am a five year old. So is Ashley–She pointed out the sign.

As it was put last night “unless you’ve been rolling bills for blow since you were SIX….”it was really hard to roll the dollar this tight!!

Way to go AShleEEY.
Nice form.

BESTEST MOST DELICIOUS BEER EEEEEVVVVAAAAHHH!!
Go and get you some!!
So. Refreshing.

Traditional Caesar–

Local GRATEFUL GROWERS Sausage + PAPADU Peppers!!

Then home for more OTA.BAR fun time..
While Ashley made ota.bars I made an obstacle course.
The PRIZES–
Classy. I know.

The INSTRUCTIONS–
The PLAYERS–
Hilariousity.
Have I mentioned that I my new friends + my new neighborhood!!
So. Much. Fun. All. Of. The. Time.
——————————————–
This morning I hit up the Charlotte tailgate farmer’s market to see ota.bars in action + pick up some goods!!
- duck eggs
- green beans
- loupe
- ota.bars
- nasturtium blooms
- peach
- salt cured bone for penny!!

I HAD to check out a duck egg for breakfast–
Oat Bran topped with Over Easy Duck Egg + Nasturtium–

The duck egg was REALLY FLAVORFUL. No S+P needed–just duck egg good-ness!!
Now it’s time to go play at the OLD MECKLENBURG BREWERY –
CHEERS!!
B+B

how would that parking lot even know if you paid? lol. so ghetto but i love it!
your breakfast looks beautiful!
Ooh,the champagne of beers.
Those farmers market finds look fabulous! So jealous of that peach!
Penny looks really cute with her bone!
TJs Honeymoon! Nice choice! That parking lot is way too complicated for me
Hahaha we have some of those bootleg parking systems (“systems”) in MA. They are hilar. Those bars look awesome- now I want to go make granola bars…
Love the ghetto parking lot experience. I totally would have had the same “potty”idea about the signage.
Ashley seems like a granola bar goodess. I have a friend who makes the very best apricot bars and she has given me the recipe to make,but I don’t even want to attempt because there is no way I could even come close to recreating her masterpeice.
Hope you have a fantastic weekend girly!
Those bars sure look delicious! And sounds like a lovely farmers market. I’ve never tried duck egg before…very neat!
Looks like a fun time! A fun couple of times,really. I used to love to make obstacle courses for my friends at birthday parties when I was a kid!
I’m going to check out ota at one of the next farmers markets…the bars look yummy.
the bars look delish!
you look like you have fun all the time –love it.
duck egg –interesting!!! glad u enjoyed it!
Wow duck egg,sounds great! Honey basil beer sounds delicious.
Honey basil? Wow! Yum!!!
Have you tried the framboise at Trader Joe’s? They have raspberry and peach flavor (Belgian beer),but I’ve also seen it in dark cherry.
Honey basil beer = BEST beer evUR!! So glad I got to enjoy it with Kel[C]!! I seriously love your photos. When I was reading your list of what you got at the market I was like “loupe? what the heck is that..”hahaa,THEN I realized…canta-loupe,hehe. I want another pizza…and I want a duck egg. I love the ota.bar wrapped bar photo! And remember….roll tightly and stick it to the left! Woot! I <3 my new friend
That duck egg looks ridiculously good. How have I lived my whole life without having one?
alright,yes those signs are hilarious,but seriously,is that how you had to pay to park? that is bizzaro.
I don’t understand how they can tell if you paid or not,but ok!
That egg looks amazing and good call on the grits base! Also lusting over that beer-what a great sounding flavor combo!
That parking is hilarious!
I’ve never had Duck eggs!
That parking is so janky..I DIE!!!! What cheapasses own that shiz?! This is the 21st century and coke was so 1978!
I want to be apart of the beerathon neighborhood! My kinda peeps!!
Love the flower decoration! Cute! Love the insert money signs! LOL HIlarious!
those signs are too hysterical! i think all parking lots should be equipped w/ rolling dolla bills yall and pushing things in holes. it really just starts the night out one a good foot.
and def will be searchin out that honey basil beer next wk on my trip to NC.
