Vacation - Tampa Bay Brewing Company
One late night evening of TV vegging, we watched Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and added Tampa Bay Brewing Company to our Bucket List after salivating over all the beer inspired dishes.

Yes. Ice cream again. :) @ Bentley's Homemade Ice Cream



Mad Mex in Pittsburgh
One of our new traditions is to stop to see my sister and brother-in-law in Pittsburgh on our way down to Florida on our trips. They always take us out to a cool restaurant that has great beer. This time on our way through, we went to a place called Mad Mex.

As we were walking in, I asked my sister if this place had good beer. She responded with something along the lines of "it's alright." I took her at her word for a bit and started contemplating some margaritas. When we got in and our names in for a table, she went to the bar and ordered drinks for her, Heather, and me.

Mike's Recipe for Feb. 2012 - Braciole

Last month I made a recipe from a cool book I received for Christmas. It wasn’t the only recipe book I got! Heather picked me up David Rocco's Made in Italy. The gift was inspired by one of her favorite recipes (which I attempted to make back in October). She used it for my great birthday dinner. Now it's my turn to use it to clear up a previous confusion.

When Heather and I visited Next Door Bar and Grill for the first time, Heather ordered a bronzini, which is a sea bass. In her head she was picturing braciole. Until that point, I had no idea what either of those were. Now I do, and I even made the latter!

Trying more Brooklyn beers I've never had. Local 1 is good. Smooth and Belgiany.
