Three Kings Public House

Karen & I went to a restaurant that prides itself on supporting Missouri & Illinois farms.  We went to Three Kings Public House in St. Louis.  Karen went before with her boyfriend and said she immediately knew I would love it.  And I did!


They even say on their menu their philosophy ensures they decrease their overall carbon footprint, while also providing their guests with the freshest produce picked at the peak of the season.  I love it even more because of that!


Karen and I found some lovely seats outside on the sidewalk, which was also wonderful because the restaurant is in the Loop and I love that area.  The have a great draft list so we both had a delicious beer.  Karen went with Odell Easy Street Wheat from Colorado and I went with Boulevard Tank 7 from Kansas City.  I did enjoy mine more, but I think we were both happy with the recommendations.


I had a portobello mushroom sandwich with some awesome sauce.  I have no idea what it was, but I know it was good.  And I had asparagus on the side.  I asked the waiter what the vegetable of the day was and as he went through the list of options I thought, 'Oh, asparagus is just in season... perfect.  I haven't had it yet this year.'  So I clearly picked asparagus.  Then he said, 'they got it off the farm this morning.'  Confirming my choice.  YUM!


They had a fun band starting to play towards the end of our meal and they seemed super fun too.


Basically, we had a great time!

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 ;)
