Life is better with Spunk...

posted on: Wednesday, May 4, 2011

Remember last week's challenge? Eat at a new restaurant or try a new recipe.

Well I fell in love last weekend and it happens to be with a hamburger.

I shall explain...

When we go out of town our trips are usually planned around where we "need" to eat.

When in Denver we hit up Jim n' Nicks
While passing through Livingston we stop in at the Rib and Chop House
When we head home we go to the Buckhorn Bar
Whenever we are in a city that has Panda Express we have to stop. Hunk needs his Orange Chicken fix--it's a love like no other.
At Cabelas we always pick up fudge--mint for me, orange for Hunk.
While in Utah I have to go to Artic Circle for fries and to the Purple Turtle for their burgers.

Sadly, I didn't make it to the Purple Turtle this trip. But by some divine power we got lost in Idaho Falls while trying to find Chick-fil-A and we ended up at Five Guys Burgers and Fries.  
Pure awesomeness happened when I bit into that burger.

Love. Juicy, sweet, grease drippin' love.

It was the best burger ever.

Not only was the burger perfect, but the fries was grease saturated sticks of heaven. Yes, I am a greasy, soft fry lover.

It was so amazing that I think my burger and fries meal may have beat out  Rodizio Grill for the best food of the weekend.

*gasp*

Hunk has also been in a hamburger coma since his experience with Five Guys Burgers. I sometimes catch his gaze wandering and I then ask him if he is thinking about the infamous burger and his reply is always a forelorn, "yes."

I think we may have to make a regular stop in Ammon when we head to Utah from now on so we can get our hamburger fix.....

So how did the food challenge go for you?

********************************************

Now, onto this week's challenge. Remember how I mentioned that sometimes the challenges would be geared towards helping others? Well this is one of those weeks.



For this week's challenge deliver flowers to someone special.

That person could be your mom, sister, cousin, grandma, friend, neighbor, hair stylist, partner in crime, mail lady, favorite bank teller, Walmart greeter, or just that special person who has been on your mind all week.

With Spring finally starting to pop it's head out to play doesn't it seem like a perfect time to brighten someone's day with some beautiful flowers?

Happy May!

  1. Hi Halsey! Nice challenge. I've made it in three different ways: Pipecleaner flowers (mom, a mom's friend, mother-in-law), Stocking flowers (mother-in-law) and Paper flowers (mom)and for home a card of Lily of the valley. I would be happy to have your visit. Happy May!

  2. Me and my husband kind of do the same thing with food. And when we get old, we want to travel the world and just eat at really GOOD restaurants...anywho, I will have to try that in UT because I know there's one in Provo, I think?
    And hilarious, your quilt advise. I'll have to try that sometime! haa ha

  3. Five Guys is THE BOMB! We discovered them in FL and were stoked when they came to TX. They just recently opened a location like 5 minutes from my house... It's hard not to go there every day!!!
