Lots of Brew Pubs
Methinks our anniversary vacation coming up is going to be rife with stops at New England Brew Pubs! And I cannot wait!
Hubz and I spent all of late morning planning our stops along our driving tour of New England.
We found small farms that make local cheese and maple syrup in VT and NH and have plans to stop and see a few. But most importantly, we found eleven billionty brew pubs to sample!! They.Are.Everywhere up there. It’s going to be so fun.
The reason we spent LATE morning planning our trip is b/c Erin slept in til, oh, 10am. Whhhaaaattt? I’ll just thank Ambien and be on my way. It was amazing. I now think getting up early on weekends is over-rated. I seriously haven’t slept in that late since the last time I had the flu. Finally Hubz came in and asked if I was thinking I’d get up at any point today, lol. It felt great!
I made the loveliest of quick Breks since it was getting so late.
- whole wheat muffin + Nutella + banana
- peaches + red raspberries + blackberries
- COFFEE xs 2
Oh Nutella….how I love thee.
Last night, after Din, Hubz and I watched Changeling with Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich. A very dark dark film. Worth watching if you have 2hrs + though. I had a beer and baked Kettle chips for a snack (no pic). And in being totally honest, 1 of Mallorys butterscotch nut butter cups (the BEST flava).
Din was tandori chicken (homemade) using Penzey’s tandori spice + ff Fage yogurt. It was good. Not great though. I gotta figure out a way to make this taste like REAL tandori.
- homemade tandori chicken + lentils
- half a piece of ww Naan
- steamed broccoli
- Smuttynose beer
Pre-Din I had a Smuttynose IPA, which is 1 of my absolute favs. I think Matt at Brew and Bake would probably really like this beer, given his review of other beers!
And a little after-work yoga to unwind and stretch out some sore running muscles. This totally did the trick. I felt heaps better after.
Hillary helped with some Lazy Dogs.
Hubz helped by doing some Lazy Man Reading.
K, I gotta eat lunch and head out to pick up some items for our dinner tonight. Having friends over for Din to sample one of my favorite recipes. Should be fun!

Elizabeth says:Hillary is the absolute cutest!!
If you can find Star Island Single (it’s Smuttynose’s new full time beer) - definitely give it a try! Care to share what breweries you think you’ll be visiting? The hubs will want to know if there are places out there that we’ve missed

Yoga is so amazing for relaxing and stretching out. “Lazy dog” HAS to be my newest favorite pose.

Lara (Thinspired) says:Oh man, I was totally not prepared for how heavy Changeling would be when I watched it! Some of those scenes were too much for me. I’m glad you had beer and kettle chips to make it better

Marianne says:I am with you the whole “getting up early on weekends is overrated”. Seriously, when else am I going to catch up on the sleep I can’t get during the week? I hate mornings - if I had my way, I’d sleep in every day!
And I think the only way to get authentic tandoori chicken is to use a tandoor oven.
