This afternoon, Murphy and I enjoyed a nice, long, 3-mile walk around the neighborhood. By the end, Murphy was really exhausted. (Maybe his breakfast didn’t provide him with enough fuel?)
As soon as we walked into our apartment, Murphy plopped right down on the cool, hardwood floor in the dining room. I thought he might be more comfortable on our comfy, soft bed, so I put him there and turned the fan on him.
I know, I’m such a softie. He’s just so frickin’ cute! š Plus, he loved the cool breeze from the fan. Look at that goofy pug smile!
Dinner
Mal and I kicked-off Happy Hour promptly at 5 o’clock today. We started with a bottle of Pretty Things Baby Tree beer.Ā Baby Tree is “a year-round quadrupel brewed with dried plums… Baby Tree is a Belgian-inspired beer, also inspired by springtime, lambs, Yorkshire and babies-in-trees.” It sounded like a good one to me! š
I’ve heard such great things about this beer, so I was really excited to finally give it a try.
The Baby Tree had a smooth, strong, and dark fruit flavor. I could definitely taste the plum.
It was totally a sipping beer.
To go along with the beer, I whipped up a batch of Edamame Guacamole. (I’m obsessed!)
I didn’t have any cilantro in the house, so I nixed it from the recipe this evening. Unfortunately, cilantro is a key ingredient! The guac was still yummy, but it just wasn’t the same without it.
So, I have a “thing” for fun serving bowls. This Double Bowl is one of my favorites. It’s great for foods that compliment one another, like crackers + guacamole, chips + salsa, veggies + hummus, etc. It’s also really heavy-duty. The plastic has some weight to it.
You can purchase this bowl in my shop.
And, here’s another one of my dorky videos. (Seriously, WHY didn’t I blow dry my hair for these videos!?! It looks terrible. š )
VinoVoyage
Only a few people purchased tickets to the VinoVoyage and were entered into the Red Sox ticket raffle, so we’re extending the contest to next week. Just enter ‘CNCvino‘ in the Optional Invite field when you register for tickets. Trust me, this is THE wine event of the year! š

Mal and I just ordered a pizza, so we’re going to chill on the couch, catch up with our DVR, and chow down. Life is good.
