Monday, October 20th, 2008A few weekends ago, we finally made it to Daisy Cakes in Durham. It’s a few blocks down (a pleasant walk) from the Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning. You can’t see it from the market, but just go towards the Scrap Exchange and keep walking and you’ll see the Airstream trailer:
They’ve transformed this family camping [...]
Catering, Asian BBQ, and dessert
Monday, May 5th, 2008Well, for the very first time this weekend, I worked as a caterer. Oak’s coworker’s wife owns a catering business, and she needed some extra hands to help out with an extra big event on Friday. Oak helps out every so often working as a bartender at weddings and such, but this was my [...]
Unexpected food find: Nordstrom Cafe Bistro
Monday, November 19th, 2007Oak and I were out shopping at Southpoint yesterday, when we decided we wanted a little snack. Oak remembered an amazing bread pudding experience that he had at the Taste of Durham that had us intrigued with the Cafe Bistro in Nordstrom department store. Yes, the restaurant is actually in the store, off in a [...]
Angus Barn chef’s table
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007For Oak’s birthday, we decided to go to the chef’s table at the Angus Barn. We’ve been reading lots about chef’s tables, but they’re usually soo expensive. Angus Barn’s is a little more reasonably priced, since it actually includes the wine pairings. And let’s just say, they were not skimpy with the wine.
We were seated [...]
Panzanella
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007On Friday night, we didn’t particularly feel like cooking. So we went to Panzanella. Panzanella is owned by the same co-op as the Weaver Street Market, which means that they have tons of fresh and local ingredients. Yum. I had “Niman ranch pork loin marsala” and Oak had “Yukon gold potato gnocchi.” Both were [...]
Cosmically bonding with nature
Monday, August 27th, 2007This weekend, the NextStep group went on a wafting excursion with our friendly Eno River naturalist, River Dave. It was fun. We had little inflatable kayaks that held two people. Since the Eno is so calm, only one paddle per waft was needed.. which meant I spent a fair amount of time [...]
Brunch-a-licious
Monday, August 13th, 2007Well, I was hoping to wait and post about our adventure to Oak Island once I took the pictures off of our camera. Well, you’ll just have to wait to see that post and those pictures until I get my lazy butt moving on that one.
Ah yes, the weekend. We stayed at home [...]
Tangerine cafe and birthday booty
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Doesn’t this logo match well with my current layout? Ding! On Sunday we went to Tangerine Cafe
with Alex and 3 out of 5 of the “605 crew” to celebrate my birthday. The interior was curiously also painted the same colors as our living room and kitchen. I wonder if they’ve come to [...]
Sheetz
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007The booming metropolis of Raleigh and Durham is constantly adding in new shopping, dining, and living establishments. Most of these are chains, which we’re not all that fond of (how many Wal-marts does one area need? Really??), but we have been highly enjoying Sheetz. The logo might make you think that Sheetz is a [...]
The Angus Barn burger
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007We’ve been to the Angus Barn a few times - Nixon’s family has treated us for his birthday dinner. Definitely not a bad deal. It’s always been a satisfying experience, but not one we could afford to have in any sort of regularity.
Well, I just happened to be reading Chowhound on Friday, and [...]
