You may be saying to yourself, "what is that woman doing with wings and beer on her blog?" The Chef's birthday is coming up next week and this is what he asked for. Actually he also asked for Domino's pizza and several other crazy food items reminding me of more reasons I appreciate this person. He's super talented at fancy shmancy food, but by no means a food snob - meaning Del Taco remains in our top five places at 2am. Can you say addicted?
Hopefully by the time Monday rolls around I will have pulled it off thanks to a handy list or 12. In the meantime I hope you have a grand weekend. I've got piles of work to get after in the kitchen so I'm cutting out and almost didn't post today, but due to the red alerts thought I'd let you know I'm still breathing - although I did come close to meeting my waterloo at Whole Foods this afternoon when the Brinks trunk almost ran me over. All I could think of was all the shoes that would be purchased with the settlement, should I make it out alive from beneath the wheels.
Priorities people, priorities.
I'm so glad this week is over.
Wait! Bright side, bright side!! I'm on Pinterest!! I'm gonna sit down and pin my brains out later this weekend - WOO HOO!!
Oh! And a special thank you to Katie for nominating me for the FBFF Blogger Awards over at Modly Chic in the "Real Deal (authenticity) category. I'm a what you see is what you get kind of person, so it really made my day to be nominated especially in that category. Mad hugs Katie!!

Thanks girl! I appreciate the vote of confidence - it was a very tough week for me so I'm looking forward to some fun food tasks:)
Have a great weekend!
xo,
Carrie
Ha that is too great!!! Food snobbery is a real thing but I find it is all about simple food and food that makes people happy. Love your posts!! XO!
Mmm.....that sounds like quite a tasty menu!! :D
Happy Early Birthday to the Chef! :D

I was wondering about that email . . . never heard of it and gotta admit that at first I thought it was spam! Glad you're alive and well. I've been buried today too (quarter grades were due an hour ago) but now I have emerged. Without enough energy to write a blog of my own, though! Ehhhhh . . . there's always tomorrow. ;)
p.s. happy bday Chef!
If you find a great wing recipe let me know they are my hubbies favs. So what is this pininterest? Looks fun but I don't know if the fam could stand one more thing I do via internet.
Haaa our men are exactly alike- my husband is this culinary master and I can barely boil waiter.
Also, this is super duper pathetic but I would be thinking the same thing if I almost got run over- "settlement=clothes!"
I haven't been on your blog in a while, so it was really nice to read some archives- loooove your writing, as usual : )
i like your settlement idea. lol. kind of. i am always thinking of ways to ESCAPE THE GRIND. sigh. chicken wings and beer might be a suitable distraction while i ponder what risks i am really willing to take to avoid the full-time job. sigh.
have a fab weekend!
have a fun weekend!
While the shoes would have been fab, I'm glad the Brinks truck didn't run you over. Enjoy the Chef's bday! And figure out Pinterest! And explain it to me lol.
I'm gonna go stare at my Foley + Corinna bag some more. GORGEOUS.
katie you hooker. i mean my best friend - enjoy that bag. hooker.
for the record i love katie and this is an ongoing thing so you don't think i'm calling her a for reals hooker! xo
Why on earth would I ever question chicken wings and beer? God, I loves me some chicken wings. Junk food is the great unifier... the boyfriend and I share some of our happiest moments with nachos... and eachother... nachos plus us... together. Yeah.
Congrats on the FBFF nom! I *just* joined, haven't done my first post yet!
i always think about if i won a huge amount of money via lottery or lawsuit. the things i would buy...
have a fabulous weekend, carrie!
and beer and wings are a huge guilty pleasure of mine!
Yum wings and beer, make some for me too!
i LOVE wings!!
have a great weekend carrie!
Hello stranger! Congrats on the nomination..I need to head over there and see what it's all about. I agree-your blog is one of a kind indeed. Love it and have a great weekend Carrie.

There's no shame in beer and wings! That as our meal of choice last Friday!
haha that looks deeeelicious.
Happy birthday to the Chef for next week! Nothing better than some so-bad-it's-good food.
Pinterest can be fun, there are so many beautiful images out there. I shall follow next time I'm on.
Enjoy your weekend!
I saw the nomination over at Katie and you're very deserving of it. Your blog and writing style reek of authenticity:-). I love how The Chef is laid back- it should make for a stress free b'day celebration. Enjoy your weekend Carrie! XX
Tell me that's a Blue Moon back there behind those wings... {my little heart flutters}. I'm on Pinterest, too! Just need to actually, uh, use it.
You can do it woman...I hope you are having a margarita right now for me!!! Its all about the shoes isnt it? lol...Congrats on the nominations today...I saw your cute name in quite a few places dollie!!!
You totally deserve that nomination. You are so upfront, and honest about who you are.

You can totally pull it off and it will be a great weekend! (proved you steer clear of Brinks vehicles!) Have a great time!
Sounds like you've got his big day under control :) beer and wings actually sounds good, lol. too bad the baby won't be happy after that combo. guess i'll wait ;) .... I'm also glad you didn't get run over by the Brinks truck, but i am bummed they didn't "bump" you or something with it.. so you could ultimately get some PAYMENT from that. lol
have a fab weekend!!
xoxoxo
Buffalo wings. Drooling.
Hope the Chef has an awesome birthday and the two of you have a great weekend!
Chic on the Cheap
wings and beer make every bad week good - i had them at the beginning of this week to preempt the rest of it ;)
How could you not pull this off?
You're a fucking superstar.

Mmm wings. A man after my own heart. I seriously could eat a 100 pack of those things during college football season. Yeah my boyfriend definitely didn't realize his girlfriend had the stomach of a linebacker til recently... And congrats on the nom, so exciting!
Bisous,

Hello darling and yum. I still haven't tried del Taco though my husband liked it when he lived in LA. I had so much Mexican food the past week, it was awesome!
I got back Thursday but was running around like a mad lady around NYC (my only free day).
Have a lovely weekend and glad to be back checking blogs!
men are so funny. andy is an amazing cook...but he loves him so taco bell. :)

thanks for sharing!! x
Hope you were able to get everything done this weekend! I've been super lazy. Been trying to get myself to the gym since the second I woke up this morning, but guess what? It's just about 5:30 and I'm about to get comfy on the couch for the red carpet on E. Haha - what a waste of a day!
I loved sitting here playing catch up ~ totally laugh snorted about your vest ~ you make me smile ~ you crazy Canuk! xo
nothing is better than spicy chicken fingers with beer, no need to apologize
Hope everything worked out and this photo is making me so hungry! Happy Sunday, sweetie pie
Hugs and kisses
I keep hearin' about this Pinterest deal... so what do you DO with it?
Mmmm...I love me some wings.
Wings and Beer? Ummm...hells yeah! Great choices by the Chef and happy birthday to him!!
chef keeps it real. love that. I'm not above fast food or the occasional chain, either. heck yes.
I love that the chef isn't a food snob. And can I just say that those wings look unreal. I want some. I hope the cooking's going well and you had a great weekend!
