Talk about being all over the place, gah, I feel scattered. I'm trying to take a minute and focus. My stomach is finally better, but I have a hint of the throat stuff the boys are just now getting over. I'm thinking about starting a regiment of apple cider vinegar.
The Pure2Raw Twins have been talking about the glories of this beverage and then a friend of mine mentioned it yesterday. I think it's time for a good cleanse!
Saturday was a work day. I didn't mind though, I got a lot of studying done! Tony made a crockpot vegetable soup much like
this one and it was so good topped with chili paste! I love coming home to dinner already made for me!
Sunday we went on a little adventure! First, I had a hot date with my man at the gym! That was the first time I had a workout buddy and it was so much fun! Normally I workout solo, but I'll tell you, going with someone is so much more fun! After that, we got a rear ends home and cleaned up to go out! A college friend of mine and Tony's came into town so we met up for lunch. Tony has wanted to take the boys to
Holeman & Finch for years and we finally got the chance to go! They were in heaven! For those of you that don't live in Atlanta or don't watch The Cooking Channel, this place is known for it's burger...
It's actually a special thing that's normally only served on weekdays at 10pm (I think there are only 24 made at that time) and on Sundays at brunch. They make everything from scratch (including the bread, ketchup and pickles) and when you eat them, apparently it's a moment. If I ate meat, I'm sure it would be heavenly. The other reason Tony has wanted to take the boys was to show them his design work. He did the identity design work for
Holemen & Finch and his work is everywhere.
branded in the furniture...
stamped on the table coverings (I LOVE the
bread company's logo!)...
This was a special treat created for Tony...
There food is incredibly fresh and full of flavor!
Bacon caramel popcorn is what my boys call a perfect dessert!
It was a great visit at such an incredible location!
Have you ever tried drinking apple cider vinegar? I'm not so much afraid of it, but I don't have the organic stuff and I feel a little weird about drinking the stuff from the store.
I love apple cider vinegar drinks! I mix a bit of AC w/ water and ginger and drink it first thing in the morning sometimes...it's quite delicious. I think it's best to get the raw kind w/ the mother in it (like kombucha!)
ReplyDeleteI went to the gym w/ my mister, too -- it was nice!
Sounds like a lovely weekend -- hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
How fun for you guys to go out and enjoy yourselves. And that popcorn...not into bacon but I love love love caramel corn! yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteUsually I prefer working out solo, however, it can be fun to have another person along to entertain and make random remarks/encouragement. :)
wow! that sounds like a place my husband would love to visit! We must make our way to GA! and i am so proud of tony, those are beautiul designs. Well done to you both.
ReplyDelete:)
Wow--sounds like a great place (especially for a certain type of eater!).
ReplyDeleteI add ACV to things like iced tea or juice (When I'm juicing). It's also pretty good just a tbsp or 2 in water...
Workout buddies are the best (especially when I'm not the one trying to think up the workout!)
I LOVE H&F - very cool Tony did the logo for them. Their burger is good, but the other menu items are the real draw for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the heinz (or store-brand) ac vinegar is fine, I doubt my parents were able to get any other kind when I was growing up, and my dad went through a big ac vinegar phase.

I haven't tried drinking apple cider vinegar either, but I do have an organic kind. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it and if it helps. glad you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYay for gym dates with hot hubbies!! Hope your throat feels better soon. I agree - love the bread logo too.
ReplyDeleteWow-- that restaurant looks freakin' amazing!! The pregnant lady in me is loving the pic of that burger :-)
ReplyDeleteI drink two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with a cup of water in the morning and at night. It's supposed to help with immflammation. I don't drink organic though. Does it matter? Apples have skin and it's vinegar.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that he did the design work for them. Jason really wants to try that burger, but that means that I have to stay up (and out!) past 10!
ReplyDeletelove Tony's designs! this takes me back a bit, I remember one of the first posts I saw here was a "tour" of your office with each of your spaces? I loved that! :)
ReplyDeleteTony's designs are beautiful! My dad is an industrial designer and my brother is a graphic designer so they make sure I always appreciate the details.
ReplyDeleteOMG, what a cool place!!! I bet my boys would love that popcorn, too!
ReplyDeleteapple cider vinegar is great! helps w digestion :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try drinking apple cide vinegar. Are you just supposed to drink it plain? I'm scared. :) I'm NOT scared of that delicious looking caramel corn though. LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteI have done the apple cider vinegar "tea" with cayenne and honey for a sore throat. Sounds like a great day out with family and friends!
ReplyDeleteglad you are giving ACV a try. think you will like it.
ReplyDeleteand that restaurant sounds wonderful...love the logo too.
That popcorn looks and sound incredible! Sounds like it needs to be recreated :)
ReplyDeleteGeorgia sounds like a fun place to live in. I look forward to visiting some day.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your tummy is feeling better. We got hit with a mild case of it this week too. And definitely start up on that ACV regimen (the raw kind with the "mother" in it still). I always tout it's glories - it can help with so many different things! ;)
ReplyDeleteOOps. Sorry, I published my comment without my name. LOL The anonymous one is from me.
ReplyDeleteApple cider vinegar is an amazing cold fighter and tummy helper!
