The Weekend

6.17.2012

We had a really great weekend! Friday night the husband and I went on a date to our favorite restaurant.  Scenes from Franklin...


 Red Pony has the most amazing shrimp and grits I've ever had but I decided to try something different this time.  The scallops were divine but I missed my grits!  Christian had black drum fish that was yummy.

Saturday we headed off to the farmer's market and picked up some golden zucchini, kale, and fresh local grass fed beef (oh, and donuts!).  We had friends over for dinner and made the best hamburgers ever.  They were cabernet balsalmic burgers with sauteed mushrooms and onions, blue cheese, and arugula. Recipe here.  These burgers were a lot of work but very worth it.  Definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had.  Can't wait to make them again! I should've taken a picture, grrr, but after all the wine we drank it slipped my mind.

 Father's Day was a great day that started with blueberry pancakes, presents for daddy, and a looong bike ride that we SO needed after burgers and donuts.  It's been action packed but relaxing at the same time thanks to a date night. We need more of those!

  2. Wait, what??? Your farmer's market has doughnuts? That's it. I'm hanging out with you next weekend. I went to our local farmer's market on Saturday too but everything they had was healthy. How annoying! Thanks for linking up with us.
