back in action (chicken with butterkase cheese and fresh herbs)


Ah...back to reality. We had a wonderful long weekend in Chicago visiting my sister and brother-in-law. Brad arrived home Sunday, but I was lucky enough to stay a few extra days for a trade show for work. So now after a week off from work, it's back to reality and I'm having a hard time adjusting.

Chicago was fantastic though, everything and more than we could have hoped for. We went out for sushi at a cute little place in the city Thursday night, then walked the entire city of Chicago and had a delicious dinner (and a few margaritas) at a cute little Mexican place Friday.

Saturday, with umbrellas in hand, we braved the downpour and visited the Green City Farmer's Market and managed to find everything we needed for the dinner Brad and I made (with the help of our new friend Katie! - Mary's friend visiting from Wisconsin).


We found fresh rosemary and thyme, asparagus, potatoes, butterkase cheese and farm fresh eggs.

Oh it was such a relaxing mini vacation away from the everyday grind. We can't wait for our next visit!
