Did somebody say steak?

Grass fed New York cut steak

There are some days I think I could be a vegetarian. And then there are days where all I can think about is eating a perfectly cooked steak. I have grown to love steak more and more over the years and really appreciate going to a nice steakhouse for a good cut and amazing sides. When a new restaurant opens in Uptown, you can be sure I have a reservation within their first few weeks of opening. Burch opened their doors last month and I was so excited to read reviews and try out their new menu. With a Steakhouse on the main level and a Pizza Bar down below, I was very intrigued to see what kind of atmosphere could combine those two concepts. I have now been to Burch twice, and both visits were remarkable. The food was fantastic and there was a refined aura to the restaurant. On the main floor, they kept the original tile flooring of the old Burch Pharmacy which adds a touch of history to a modern steakhouse. The menu has plenty to choose from and will please many different palates. Down below in the Pizza Bar, the walls seem to be the original foundation in it's rustic form lined with votive candles for some extra ambiance. The menu was reasonably priced with a variety of pizzas and small bites to choose from. The bar was full with people sipping cocktails from mix masters while house music was playing through the speakers. Burch is a great new addition to Uptown, I am sure it will gain many new regulars. I wonder if I can make two reservations for the same night; eat steak on the main level and then head downstairs for pizza? Sounds like a winning plan to me!

Superbowl Bites

Even though I played sports in high school and I like to watch sporting events, I don't follow sports teams too closely. However, I have many fond memories growing up watching football games on Sunday and Monday nights in front of a crackling fire and snacking on mom's appetizers. So to me, watching the Superbowl is about being with friends, eating some comfort food, and yelling at the guys who get paid millions of dollars a year to catch a pigskin. My sister is hosting a Superbowl party this year and in order to keep her sanity, it's potluck style. Here are some of the bites I'm thinking about bringing.

#stayhome

I look at this photo and it seems ages ago. I took it while laying in the sun on a hotel rooftop in Miami. In reality, it was only taken 3 weeks ago today almost to the minute. Since then, a pandemic has taken this world by storm. Mother Nature is shouting from the rooftops and people are being forced to listen. We are being told to stay home, don't leave the house unless necessary, and practice social distancing. Such a funny term: social distancing. What will this do to human connection? To human culture? Behavior? Our future perspective in this world is about to go through a massive shift. "Are you ready for this," Mother Nature asks? I sure wasn't. I have been learning so much about myself in the past 2 weeks. How does one react in vastly unknown and uncertain times? I am no longer in a rush to do things. It's strange, I never felt that hurried before but now there is ample time to focus on things I didn't spend that much time on before. Connectin...

The Game of Life

Christmas day games What the heck is going on?! I’m posting once a month?! (insert bug eyes and crazy eyebrows here) To all of those still checking and looking for my posts, I thank you for staying with me through some really busy times. Here is what’s going on…. Jon and I bought a condo! Yay!!! It all happened so fast (we closed a month after we initially saw the place) and then we went to Utah for Thanksgiving and then the holiday season began full force. Normally, I would be sharing photos, DIY projects that we are working on, and even updates throughout the space. Sadly, none of those things are happening because we haven’t done any. I’m lucky I got a Christmas tree up! As much as I LOVE the Christmas season, I am also looking forward for it to be over so I can paint, drill, make, repaint, etc. Even though the place isn’t how we are dreaming it to be one day, it’s a lovely space for Jon and I. It has a real wood burning fi...
