I am off again on my adventures - I lost one week due to a combination of work craziness and laziness. But I am on the path to catching back up! My latest adventures was a little random but ended up being a ton of fun. I have lived in Louisville for most of life, and I can honestly and rather pathetically say that I have never been across the river to New Albany, Indiana. The towns are literally less than a mile apart, and some how on every river crossing, I managed to drive right past and never stop in and visit New Albany - a cute small time town right across the river. Sad right?
Weeks = 15, Adventures = 15 | Gasthaus
Week 15's adventure was a culinary adventure, again of the German persuasion. Apparently, I am on a theme right now. 🙂 There is a restaurant here in town that is supposed to be amazing. That I have heard friends rave about for years. It's an authentically German restaraunt, where the desserts are made from scratch daily and the food is served by the owners and family of the owners. A place that requires reservations made near a week in advance. Gasthaus, the restaurant in question, has been a place I have wanted to go to for years, but never quite got around to making the reservations. So this Christmas, one of my oldest friends, Amanda, and I headed to Gasthaus for dinner. Amanda and I were roommates in college our senior year, along with our friend Julie. As we all have gotten older and life has gotten busier, and as I am sure you all can relate, we dont see each other as much as we used to or would like to. So having time for a leisurely and delicious dinner was a special treat for this holiday season.
Weeks = 14, Adventures = 14 | Foxy
About two month ago, I embarked on an unintended adventure. On a dark and windy night, I was venturing home from my cousins on a curvy, low-traveled country road when out of nowhere a young buck emerged from the woods. And I am not talking about a young handsome man, I am talking about a male deer. A male deer that emerged from the woods and challenged me to a game of chicken. A game of chicken that neither the deer or my 13 year-old Corolla won. On that dark and windy night, my faithful old car, Belle took her final ride and the deer became dinner for a very nice man who kept me company at a near by gas station while I waited for my parents to come and pick me up. Thankfully, I was able to brace enough for the impact that I did not lose control of my car and careen off the road, but I was not able to slow down enough to totally avoid the deer.
The Table, Part 2
So, several weeks ago I updated you on the progress of my table. While a solidly built table, it had become a splotchy, stained table that was a bit of an eyesore. Maybe more than a bit.

Last September/October I went to Germany to visit my good friend Liz and her daughter who live in Germany. For 2 weeks we had an amazing time touring around Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. It was a great couple of weeks, we saw the sights, drank good beer, and ate amazing food. One night, we… Continue reading Weeks = 13, Adventures = 13 | Apple Horseradish Soup
