This weekend was fantastic because I pretty much just parked the car and hung out in my hood! Friday the pups and I enjoyed some vino on the porch... they drank red, and I drank white. They are so much classier than I am.
(JK of course... we all drank white)
I'm moving to the other side of the building next week, and I'll be losing my patio. So I had to soak up all the views of the cotton bowl and fair park that I could!
Poor Veenie pup woke up sick on Saturday morning, as you can see from this picture below. Doesn't that just break your heart. She has some sort of wicked cough going on. I'm trying to hold out on an unnecessary vet trip, but as of this morning, she still wasn't any better. Poor sweet pup!
Saturday night I had my first Pecan Lodge experience. This place has a lot of hype. It just opened a new location in Deep Ellum, and the line generally wraps around the building. We got there early, we're talking 5:45pm when the line was relatively short, and still waited in line for an hour. This place only sells BBQ until they're sold out, so it is possible you could be in line for an hour, only to be told they're out of food. Whomp whomp. Luckily we not only got plenty of food, but beers and a great spot at the bar too! This place was delicious and I totally recommend it, but GO EARLY!
And if you follow me on Instagram, then you know this happened.
Count me in on that drink concoction. Holy moly, all my beverage dreams just came true! Poor pup, sure hope she gets to feeling better soon. And yay for moving...a little change is always exciting! Happy Monday, lady.
ReplyDeleteIf I was out there in Texas with you, I'd be the first to jump on those Sunday brunch drinks! NOM.
ReplyDeleteI think I've heard of the Pecan Lodge. I'm all the way in North Dallas though so whenever I'm around the area I'll have to try it out. It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe sangria sounds awesome! Such a fun weekend but I can't believe you're losing your patio! :(
ReplyDeletetake me to anvil pub and pecan lodge or forget our friendship. JK
ReplyDeletebut really.
I'll be daydreaming of your patio and glass of wine all day....
ReplyDeleteThat bloody mary looks amazeballs!! Fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI don't do bloody Marys (Maries?) but I'd be more than happy to taste test the other two with you. They sound AMAZING.
ReplyDeletePoor Veenie. I could use a mimosa with brunch attached.
ReplyDeleteHOLY OH MY GOSH I NEED THAT FOOD. Now the Wendy's I'm about to consume is lame in comparison...
ReplyDeleteThat bloody is outrageous. Who thought that up, haha?! I want one.
ReplyDeleteGood lord, I want your weekend (other than the sick pup, of course). Talk about some incredible food. I hope Veenie feels better! Sometimes dogs just get little colds like we do. My girl had indigestion last week, but everything seems to be fine now. Hopefully it's not kennel cough... that's the worst!

ReplyDeletePoor Veenie! I hope she feels better soon. But oh my god, that bloody mary. Just... wow.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what adorable pups!! Looks like a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think at least half of the reason I love your blog is because I'm so familiar with Deep Ellum so I can just picture everything you didn't photograph! Glad you had a fun one!
ReplyDeleteLaura
OK, be there soon. Save me one of each (but hold the meat and add extra cheese.) I think it's only a 3 hour plane ride from NYC.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Veenie gets better soon :( I just hate when my furbabies aren't feeling good!! AND GOODNESS! There is a burger in that drink!? How cool is that?!
ReplyDeletePups, drinks and relaxation... can't get a better weekend than that!
ReplyDeleteUm, that bloody is all the things my dreams are made of! Hope your sweet pup is feeling better!
