Greenhouse Tavern

Last Tuesday after a full day at a clinic near Cleveland, Jason and I headed out to one of his favorite restaurants in Cleveland that he thought I would really like.  I most definitely did really like it.  


Greenhouse Tavern was so good!


We had some spicy green dish for an appetizer that neither one of us could get enough of. I even asked the waiter what was in it so we could make it on our own.  So spicy and delicious.  It was one of the best foods I've eaten in awhile!


Then for my meal I had a bean dish.  I don't even know how to describe it, except so creative and delicious!  There were things that looked like popcorn on top (and since we were asking what all the ingredients in our dishes were anyway) our waiter told me the "popcorn" was actually beans.  I have no idea how, but loved the creativity.  


That chef is awesome!


Jason and I left with very full stomachs and big smiles.  We literally couldn't stop talking about the spicy greens.  


It's also super creatively decorated and the decorations change.  Last week there were vintage bikes!  Could it be more perfectly decorated for me?  No.  They were hanging all over the restaurant:  from the ceiling, on the wall.  Wonderful!


I love locally sourced restaurants and I love what they stand for.  It's so nice to have food that you know is fresh and that the restaurant is making a commitment to reduce carbon emissions, etc.
(another one coming at you tomorrow)

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.  

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did!  It was a super fun weekend!  And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City.  He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees."  He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills."  I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES!  We won't see that til...april?  may? obsessed  i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today!  I want a nap ;)
