Charlie and I stuck around Raleigh for the Thanksgiving break and decided to get in some much needed shooting practice. We often take the weekends to create content but not much time is given to practicing with our cameras. There is always something to learn and so little time to do so. We discover new features about our cameras almost every time we shoot. We are definitely not rookies in this field but pride ourselves on capturing some pretty darn good shots every now and then. 
 
With Chucks on our feet, we took a stroll through Pullen Park which is right on NC State campus. From the pictures it looks like it was warm, huh? And yes my friend, you would be correct. NC has been experiencing the oddest weather lately with most days in the 60’s and 70’s, no rain and no need for a coat. Odd indeed, but I won’t complain. Just wish I hadn’t spent so much time putting away my spring and summer clothes and taking out my fall winter clothes. One day you need a coat and the next…well, who knows what’s to come. 
 
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, let the Cyber Monday madness begin. I’ll be chatting about my Black Friday purchases on the blog soon. 
 
Sincerely,

LATE NIGHT MEATBALL RUNS

It’s been a great week! Charlie and I have been coasting and catching up with friends. Yesterday we chilled with the newlyweds. You may remember them from a previous post #AdventuresofAandG. Welp, we were back at it again, except this time with meatballs and “not your grandma’s” mac and cheese…inside joke. What I love most about Raleigh living is the random restaurants housed downtown. Oak City Meatball is one of them. Never heard of it until yesterday and what a pleasant surprise it was to indulge in a chicken meatball sandwich equipped with chunky tomato sauce, mozzarella, and kale salad drizzled in a delight vinaigrette dressing, yummy.

The menu was full meatball mix and match options. If you know me, more options make for a long night. I’m so indecisive and apparently so is my friend. 25 minutes later, us ladies finally decided. We chatted up a storm till about 10pm and then realized we all had work in the AM. Yeah, the reality hit rather late in the evening, LOL, but all in all it was a good night of exchanging post wedding thoughts, our next international trips and some side convo about the election.

Yay, one more day till the weekend. Whose counting down with me? Oh almost forgot, want all the deets on Oak City Meatball click here.

RAINY DAY AND BIRTHDAY BURGERS

This is how all Mondays should be, chill, colorful and filled with good eats with good people. I’m not one to dread Mondays, it’s a fresh start! Also, simply put, I love what I do. It was my managers b-day today so we celebrated with some tasty black bean and sweet potato burgers from H-Street Kitchen, a swanky restaurant/bar located on university campus. My favorite part, the hand cut french fries, yummy. Always down for good eats.
Now off to entertain some soon to be married friends with lots of red wine, pizza and good conversation.
Highly recommend you check out H-Street Kitchen if your in the Raleigh area, they don’t disappoint. Anyway, what a great start to what I know will be a great week! Happy Monday ya’lls!
Sincerely,
