Dinner

Eat For Cheap + Beat The Heat

May 21, 2012

The NATO Summit is coming to a close today, and Chicago seemed to fare pretty well. We spent much of our weekend at home as planned, making exceptions for training runs and the chance to spend some time in the sunshine. On Friday night that included a walk to Whole Foods, where we found grass-fed [...]

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish…

May 18, 2012

I couldn’t resist the Dr. Seuss reference. It had been far too long since I had last seen Mara. November, in fact. We’ve tried numerous times to get together but somehow the 30 miles between us just kept getting in the way. Last night, we decided to change that by meeting halfway for dinner at [...]

Avenge Is Sweet

May 17, 2012

I can’t believe it’s Thursday already! I’m gearing up for an insanely busy weekend that consists of staying in my apartment most of the time. What’s that? You think that’s an oxymoron?

I first came across it in a SELF Magazine fashion spread with Emmy Rossum. Basically, you attach it to your cell phone or anything with a headset plug in and [...]

Early Birdies + Birthdays

May 6, 2012

What a whirlwind weekend it has been! Nonstop action, but all good things. It started with a birthday golf match! Technically I turn 25 on Wednesday, May 9, but Bobby treated me to an awesome early bird present with a tee time on the Chick Evans course Saturday afternoon. We even returned to the scene [...]

Mountain Magic Mania

April 29, 2012

They knew what they were doing when they named it Mountain Magic. It was a golf tournament unlike any other! I had fond memories from last year, but being able to experience the fun, challenge and excitement all over again was a real treat. And it was extra special because this year…we came out of [...]

Mountain Magic Reprise

April 25, 2012

Does this look like a pair ready to conquer a golf tournament? Not sure about that, but we’re definitely ready to conquer something. Oh, and I may not have been ready for the first photo. I was too excited about my Kanye West sunglasses. Tonight marked the kickoff event for this year’s Mountain Magic tournament! [...]
