No wineries this weekend, rats. \u00a0(Whew.) \u00a0We had plenty of fun though I suppose. \u00a0Friday night we kicked things off with a short happy hour at Ruff Haus<\/a>. \u00a0Hmmm, happy hour at the hotdog joint, times are bleak indeed. \u00a0I branched out with a scotch egg<\/a> this time, which is roughly 18 times tastier than it sounds. \u00a0I also enjoyed discussing the (de)merits of the local Chicago dog. \u00a0I maintain that, while certainly tasty, their $10 offering is not significantly better than the two-fer-$2 build-your-own at QT. \u00a0My esteemed coworker insists that oh yes they are. \u00a0As he has never actually experienced<\/em> a gourmet QT dog though, I feel I have a better grasp on the matter. \u00a0I win, hmph. \u00a0After that we headed home for a round of Wii Sports. \u00a0Of all the games we’ve collected, you just can’t beat a round of the free sports games that came with the console. \u00a0Plus we’re rather evenly matched; \u00a0I usually win tennis and baseball, she wins bowling and golf. \u00a0(We don’t box, after one time when she got a little too carried away and… \u00a0Never mind.) \u00a0After a few rounds of that, we got all melancholy and started dialing up people on Facetime. \u00a0It was fun, although that thing still kind of freaks me out for some reason. \u00a0We did sort of get carried away and forgot about the time difference. \u00a0For that, I sincerely apologize to my KC friends. \u00a0Oh, and Cincy. \u00a0Oops, and Texas. \u00a0I’m so embarrassed.<\/p>\n

Saturday went rather oddly. \u00a0We had a lot of plans, and actually got in the car and set out to execute said plans. \u00a0Somewhere along the way, we noticed an open house sign, and popped in for a tour. \u00a0Pretty interesting, so we drove to another. \u00a0Several open houses later, we were hungry and went to lunch at El Dorado Saloon<\/a>, which proved to be a rather lucky guess for a meal; \u00a0Quite tasty. \u00a0After that we just kept rolling to more open houses. \u00a0By the time we were done looking at houses (none of which we could actually afford, not to mention we’re in a year-long lease) it was so late we just cancelled all our to-do’s and headed home. \u00a0A day wasted indeed, other than perhaps the delicious turkey-burger.<\/p>\n

Sunday was the big game, which we both were thoroughly disinterested in. \u00a0Not to miss a chance for a feed though, we threw on two slabs of ribs, a pound of chicken wings, stuffed jalapenos, and assorted other appetizers. \u00a0As predicted, the game was entirely lame. \u00a0Man them chicken wings were good though. \u00a0The ribs… \u00a0eh. \u00a0Still need some practice there. \u00a0I’d have probably done well to fire up my smoker instead of trying to cram everything on my grill. \u00a0They were passable I suppose, especially after a liberal basting in Smokehouse sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
