what i learned this weekend.

Here are some things 
I learned this weekend….

All the cool kids wear green jackets.
(completely unintentional matchy-matchiness by basically everyone at our friend’s Chris & Stephen‘s birthday dinner celebration.)

Lucy’s Original really does make the best burger ever.
(I seriously dream about these!)



I am high maintenance when ordering ice cream.
(Can I help it that I was craving a 1/2 scoop of banana cream pie, a 1/2 scoop of rocky road with a little bit of hazelnut chocolate sauce in a custom made waffle bowl?)

Portland has some terribly stylish gentlemen.
(Stylish men were out in full force while scouting for Urban Weeds street style this weekend. Bravo gents!)



I am in desperate need of these Rachel Comey’s that I spotted at Frances May.



Chicken Parmesan Burgers are both easy and delicious to make.
(recipe here)

Eating waffles with friends is a great way to spend a Sunday morning.


Chris likes straight espresso shots.



Becca doesn’t.


I need a baby chick.
(….but Craig says no, because he thinks Marley would eat it. Boo! That still didn’t stop me from stopping in at the urban farm store to visit them anyway.)

….or maybe a goat.
 

I will probably never look forward to Mondays.
….like….ever.
(Apparently I have a case of the Mondays. Every week.)

Oh well….the weekend was fun while it lasted.

  3. That is HILARIOUS that you posted that about the icecream! Because, coincidentally, on Saturday night I went on a Blizzard run for myself and my coworkers. None of us could decide on flavors {all so yum} so we each got 2 mini blizzards so we could each have two flavors! Haha. Great minds think alike 🙂

  4. Wow it looks like a really nice weekend. I’m especially into the burgers you got to enjoy. (chicken and regular)

  19. I want to make a trip to Portland just to have one of those yummy burgers!
    And I LOVE those shoes!

  20. Weekends always go by so fast! I wish Ian and I had normal weekends–I actually can’t remember one that wasn’t when we were on vacation… The only bummer is that’s when all of our friends are free, but we are not! Hahaha! Oh well! At least we see them at church!

  21. aww, sounds like such a sweet weekend! i wish i had a waffle maker 🙂

  22. Haha, I love that photo of Becca. She looks totally grossed out! Also, do you mind if I reblog the green jacket photo? I can’t get over how weird that was.

  23. You and your burgers! That one looks divine and now I’m totally salivating! The quote about Monday is perfect! Mondays really are an awful terrible day… Happy Monday by the way! Haha!

  25. Sounds like a great weekend!! I’m craving a yummy burger now!!

  26. I have a real bad case of the mondays today! Ugh. I’m so excited, my sister bought chicks this weekend. My in-laws used to have them so my husband knows all about chickens, and they talked forever about them. I totally want chickens whenever we get a house.

  27. Mmm ice cream! Also those chicken parm sandwiches look delicious! I need to make that!

    As for Monday’s, they really are a drag!

  28. I love your friend Becca’s face in that picture — I’m just like her. I need a little sweetness to counteract the bitter.

  29. Such a lovely post! I actually had an alright monday for once!

  30. The waffles look delic!!! And I love the last picture! 🙂

  31. I feel honored that the first time we both had Lucy’s Original was when I was visiting Portland!!! AND, this post has me dreaming about visiting. MMM RUBY JEWEL!!!!! Sending you hugs my sweet friend!!!!! XOXOXO! Oh and guess what … I found a restaurant that has a juicy lucy burger in my area .. have yet to try it and I know it won’t be the same as Lucy’s Original but a girl can dream right?!! 🙂
