Food. Drink. Dogs. Books. Theatre.
Hampton and I are both back into rehearsals* so weekends are for bigger meals, and tonight may have been our best schnitzel yet. We toasted and ground up leftover soft pretzel from Strudelteig’s last visit to Lesser Known, the fantastic Eastern European-inspired brewery a mile and change from our house, for the crust on this […]
MoreWe are a week and change away from life returning to normal… err, the most recent normal? So let’s play catch up. Food has still been a bit hit and miss due to rehearsals and gigs.
