New Local Spots

Utilizing coupons from Living Social, Groupon and Scout Mob  Eric and I, along with some friends, have been on a find-awesome-new places kick.  And of course, because we get half-off or more, it's been relatively affordable to enjoy all the sites (and bars) Atlanta has to offer.



We found Ormsbys mostly via Twitter and other beer drinking friends.  This place has Southern Comfort food by some semi-well known chef, a well rounded draft menu, and then.... the atmostphere feels like you're in someone's basement or cabin.  Wooden tables for board games, shuffle board, darts, skee-ball, photo booth, karaoke, and two indoor faux grassed bocce courts.  We snagged a booth and played Jenga for a good two hours.  The Saturday night wait for bocce was a little long - hopefully we'll be back on an early week night to snag a court for a game or two.



 Via a Living Social coupon, Rosemary and I snagged two buy $15 get $30 worth of food and drinks at a  place called Young Augustine's.  Here they feature two outdoor bocce courts, a decent beer menu and ridiculously funky foods.  We played a few games of bocce and headed in for a snack and trivia.  Some how we placed second in trivia, which scored us $20 for a return visit.  We also only used one of our $30 gift certificates because the food, while amazing, was so cheap!  Guess we'll have to go back.  Darn!

My 100th Beer at Taco Mac
In a grand tradition among friends, I had to choose a cheap beer for my 100th at Taco Mac.  We typically save PBR for our 125, which is the number that gets us into the Brewniversity Bachelor's "degree" (read 16 oz beer for the prize of a 12)

Where has she been?*

It's been a while, friends. Hi! Where did we leave off?  Ah yes, the roach .  He's still alive.  It's been over 10 days.  Though, he's slowing down and looking a little skinnier than when we first found him.  Maybe I'm making it up. I've started my new job with my friends lawn maintenance company.  Most of my time has been spent learning all the new (to me) software, moving the office to it's new locations, and just learning what the company does and offers.  Chris and I have had a great time working together so far.  I'm really enjoying learning new things.  Chris has already taught me a lot about great customer service. This weekend was my last retreat with middle school kids.  It was bittersweet. We had a spirit filled weekend full of lots of laughs, low ropes, rock wall, ultimate frisbee, prayer, and learning about Jesus. Our theme was "You Never Let Go" and we discussed three parables:  The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, ...

Baking with Betty: Dunwoody Dip

You're probably asking yourself, what is Dunwoody Dip? And it's a great question! It's easy to make. Melty. Cheesy. Meaty. A little bit spicy. And everyone LOVES it!  The origin, though, it's a more difficult to nail down.  My grandmother, who is from Dunwoody, Ga, actually heard about this dip when she was visiting friends in Denver.  Urban legend has it that some guy brought the dip to a party in Denver and when prompted for a name he stalled and said "Dunwoody Dip." Because, apparently he was from Dunwoody.   Who really knows? All I do know, is that this dip is yummy, very easy to make, and is always the first gone at a party or family get together.  Also, Eric might have married me because of this... Dunwoody Dip Ingredients: One tube of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage Two cans of Rotel Tomatoes - Hot Two bars of Cream Cheese Big bag of Fritos Scoops Directions: Preheat oven to 325. In a large frying pan over medium-ish heat, brown the sausage. ...
