happy monday, happy august

after an AMAZING bele chere weekend (i know, gasp!), i'm already excited for what the week holds. 

monday 

i will continue my quest to find the best fish tacos in asheville. so far, papas and beer takes the cake, with a $2.50 fish taco on the a la carte menu. delish! but, i have a good lead on some tasty tacos at u joint, which the ladies and i will be hitting this evening!

tuesday

the movies! so excited that something i actually want to see finally came to the brew n view, (also known as the asheville pizza and brewing company on merrimon). $3 movies, great pizza, and great beer - how could you go wrong? i'll be having a slice of shear delight and a pint of shiva as i watch bridesmaids there tomorrow!

(thirsty) thursday

my favorite summer tradition - thursdays watching our beloved asheville tourists hammer or be hammered on the baseball field. that is, of course, while we do some hammering ourselves on one dollar beers! 

hope everyone has a great monday and a perfect start to a new month. keep an eye out for my expert opinion on the fish tacos at u joint!

catching up

i've been operating on a "work really hard, play really hard" schedule these last few weeks, hence the lack of posts. for those of you who would like to follow a similar schedule, it's possible with these simple steps:

1. work

2. work

3. work

4. binge drink

5. fall asleep with your boots on

6. rinse and repeat

not so healthy, but i'm compensating for all the beer calories with all the food i haven't been eating. right? however, i did check out some new places that i'd like to tell you about!

dobra tea house

my friends camilla and rachel took me to the tea house on a rainy saturday, and it was adorable! they literally have a phone book's worth of tea choices, and the prices are great! we got a pot for $5.50 between the three of us, and sat for maybe two hours? they bring you extra hot water so you can keep on infusing and keep on drinking!  you ring a bell when you're ready to order (which, between the eight thousand varieties of tea and copious amounts of girl talk to be had, took awhile). that part was cute, but kind of odd.  i highly recommend it! it was really cozy and a lot of people were there with their computers, just getting stuff done in a really nice environment. 

universal joint

swung by here after the wedge friday night to watch the carolina game and get some grub. cute place in west asheville with a good beer selection and GREAT service. they were totally packed, it being friday and a huge basketball night, but the people were so nice and accommodating! i ordered the black bean quesadilla, which was a mistake, but my friends got burgers which they LOVED. so, definitely need to check it out again. 

also, learned what may be a bad bit of information for me to have my hands on... $2 wells and draft beers at the southern on tuesdays. i know, just the day you need to be doing a serious amount of drinking, but do what you choose with this information.
