Lately according to Instagram

The other week my friend Amber and I went to lunch at this new hip place on the East Side called Mettle. We both got their grilled cheese, which came with three different soups to dip (mushroom, tomato, and basil). It was delish. We also each got fancy drinks. Amber's drink was called the siamese caipirinha, which had thai chili, basil infused cachaca, and lime. My drink was called the tri berry 75, which had three berry infused tanqueray, lemon, and lambrusco. Fancy. 

We finally got our first tomato!! We have put so much time and work into the greenhouse this summer; from manual labor, to planting, potting, watering, etc. We have 15 tomato plants total so i am expecting a ton of tomatoes! I need to learn how to can all the tomatoes so we can enjoy them all year long.

Steak, glorious steak. As mentioned here, Jim and I have been grilling out about once a week and it's always amazing. We usually grill steaks with corn on the cob, baked potatoes, and garlic bread. 

Our wedding favors/centerpieces were little potted succulents. We had a few left over after the wedding that I planted in a planter in our front yard and found this little guy enjoying the succulents. Snails don't eat succulents, right?

Rocco sure does love walks. We take him on a mile walk every night and if he misses it even once he gets those crazy eyes and then destroys something.

This is the view from a friend's fabulous rooftop pool above her trendy downtown condo. Not bad.
