As I sit here typing this blog post I feel a bit like I'm about to burst. Good god I have found the temple to awesomeness and in this place they fry a lot of chicken. But more on that later.
First, I met a friend at this great bar (next to another great bar) where they allow dogs inside and they even get to sit at the tables! Norm's is a fantastic and happy place, however, my big ball of crazy will not be going to Norm's b/c I'm pretty sure he'd start some kind of a doggy riot. He's sneaky like that. Apparently Norm's doesn't have a website (too busy paying fines for allowing dogs in a restaurant I'm guessing) but here's a link to Yelp's review.

On Saturday I discovered eggnog lattes. And they are fabulous. Super fabulous.

Saturday night L and I braved the violent fog (sideways fog, who knew such a thing existed?) and headed out for dinner at Lecosho
http://lecosho.com/ where we ate a ton of great stuff. The restaurant is adorable and almost on the water. There were great windows overlooking a kind of patio area (great for watching sideways blowing fog) with twinkle light trees and an open kitchen where we got to watch the chefs at work. We chowed on housemade sausage, grilled octopus, duck, and rabbit cavatelli and it was deliciousness. After that we cabbed it (no uphill hikes in violent fog) to a new bar that's been getting some good press, Canon Whiskey and Bitters Emporium.

Today after some shopping we decided to finally try out this place that we've been eyeballing for a while. For two southern transplants the promise of a fried chicken dinner sounds like a bit of heaven. Every Sunday night Hi-Life (no, not the beer) has a fried chicken dinner and good god it is awesome. They bring out these plates that have half of a fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables, and a biscuit.
http://www.chowfoods.com/hilife/ I ate till I was about to explode and I still have plenty left over for lunch tomorrow. Good times. On the plus side I am currently too full of fried chicken to continue gorging on the peanut butter and nutella cookies I made this weekend.

And here are a couple of fall foliage pics just for fun.
