Hump Day Dinner #148 - Blizzard 2011

Last Tuesday, Snowpocalypse arrived in Tulsa and we received 14" of snow. There was so much snow that Tulsa shut down for a good three days. Things are just now starting to get back to normal.

We didn't want to break tradition, so for Hump Day Dinner #148 we ate at Texas Roadhouse. It was one of the only restaurants that was open in Tulsa :(. Here are some pictures from the storm:

The grocery stores were bare...no bananas...

 

...no bread...

  

 ...and no milk.

We're supposed to be getting more snow tomorrow, but I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it misses Tulsa.

I can only hope!

Hump Day Dinner #147: Chicory and Chives

Chicory and Chives

5800 South Lewis Avenue, Suite 129

Tulsa, OK  74105

918-585-3500

Check our their menu!

Chicory and Chives was a great restaurant. It's located at 58th and Lewis in the London Square Shopping Center. We had a huge group when we were there (16 people!), but we were taken care of from start to finish. Plus, the food was delicious! Be sure to try the fried catfish and/or fried shrimp po-boy. They were some of our favorites.

While we were eating, we were able to talk to the owner, Jim, and he is what he had to say about the restaurant.

P.S. You might have to turn up the volume just a little bit.

The Year of the House

Instead of the year of the rabbit, I'm optimistic that 2011 is going to be the year of the house for Andrew and I. Right now, we rent a great house in Jenks, but I'm so ready for a place of our own. I'm can't wait for us to decorate our home how we want, expand our family to include at least one dog (no kids just yet!) and to have my very own craft room for StyleMark Designs.

A few weeks ago, I came across the ItzFritz store on Etsy. They make the most beautiful wreaths! I can't wait to one day have one on my front door.

The color combinations and flowers are just beautiful!

 

Here are my favorites:

 

I'm leaning more towards this one!
