Whenever you get a new toy, you have to play with it as much as possible. Jason locks up our bikes to the water fountain.  Notice where it tells you not to lean on the glass because it’s cracked pretty good. After biking over seven miles to get there, we enjoy some greasy eats at [...]

Back in the day, this was just a parking lot and now it’s a huge residential building.  Downtown Charlotte is stil reeling from the real estate crash.  Those $400K condos that weren’t even worth even half their price are now selling for their actual value.  This provides quite the predicament for those current owners.  It’s [...]

 Sometimes we clean up and go out.  Sometimes we stay in and enjoy my culinary genius.  On the menu tonight is brisket, mashed potatoes, and corn.  We have a beautifully set table with some Cupcake red wine and fresh flowers courtes of Erica.  I’m still really enjoying actually having a dining table for the first [...]

It’s voted the best buffet in Creative Loafing’s Best of the Best spread this year and I can see why.  RuSan’s serves up all you can eat sushi that is tasty, fresh, and plentiful in variety!  In addition to great food, it’s quite the social spot in town at lunch time.  The crowd is a [...]

The extension for an accounting test starts the chain reaction for a get together.  Claudia arrives with her McDonald’s in hand.  Who brings a McDonald’s cheeseburger to a steak dinner?! Every outside activity with boys involves cigars and blue steel. Every get together with us involves eating and lately, that means Perry is at the [...]

It’s early Saturday morning but Bob doesn’t want to miss his pick of the fruits and veggies at the local Farmer’s Market. I love this view of the Charlotte Farmer’s Market.  Vendors line the covered walkways with fresh fruit and veggies.  On the right side is a flower vendor.  I really want to get some [...]

Our society is so fancy that we have bakeries dedicated to making cupcakes. The Blushing Bakeshop a is quaint (AKA small) bakery in Ballantyne with a French pastel theme.  The built-in shelf / cabinet / hidden trash can is a nice touch.  It serves its purpose well while still blending into the decor. The cupcakes [...]

It’s a good thing googles are on sale today.  I’d hate to run into a tree branch while riding off road and not have an internet search engine protecting my eyes. When they say they’re making dinner, they’re MAKING dinner.  Not only is this burger five inches tall but it is mixed with bacon and [...]

Leonard has heard the buzz but never actually tasted the Yoforia.  He passes on the candy and opts for fruit. I guess he likes it! What’s this? A blanket with sleeves? Of course, it’s a Snuggie! If Leonard is going to try it, then I will too! When you find a successful product for humans, [...]

Ty, Austin, and Chris stake out some indoor seats at Mac’s early. Mandy and John have migrated back to the Charlotte area.  The last we saw these two, they were unmarried but now they are more than just Facebook official.  Congratulations! David chows down on his chips and salsa. Roomies enjoy BBQ on a hot [...]

Sometimes a photo can be taken out of context. When you see the rest of the scene, it still doesn’t make any sense. Zoolander at its best. Add PBR and Silly Bandz and the party is out of control. When you throw a bucket of KFC out on the table, people come out of the [...]

The Krispy Kreme Cheerwine donuts were finally released in NC and GA grocery store on Thursday, July 1, 2010.  On that morning, the C-team visited four local grocery stores (Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and Lowe’s Foods) in search of this exclusive limited release donut.  We failed our mission and eventually aborted.  Fortunately, Lenny was [...]

Look at that country bumpkin with a Team Suzuki shirt and John Deere hat. We’re all about holding random knick knacks from the 70% off section at Cracker Barrel.  The John Deere shirt is pretty funny and says Step into my office with a big tractor above it. Only Cracker Barrel could combine the worst [...]

When I think of the name DePompa’s, I don’t exactly think Kannapolis  but that’s where you’ll find this spot with comfortable foods (like the sign says). It’s a nice day for sitting outside and enjoying a leisurely meal. I enjoy the Famous Samovar Chicken sandwich.  I ask Jason what it is and he tells me [...]
