Valentine's Weekend

Another weekend has come and gone! This one was especially great - I love when Valentine's falls on a weekend!

Friday at work I was surprised with a dozen roses, hand delivered by EH. Spoiled, always.

We decided Friday night would be our big romantic night out. EH didn't disappoint - we headed to Cache which I have been wanting to try since they opened up. We started out with cocktails and a crab cake to share.

Terrible picture but trust me, it was delicious.

Cache had a set menu for Valentine's weekend but we were both very happy with our choices. I went with the pork chop (which is a surprising choice!).

Set on top of a pile of risotto and then topped with fresh green beans. It was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. So so good.

EH went with the filet and loaded baked potato.

The green beans were delicious and the baked potato was, y'know, a baked potato. But the steak? To die for. We were both seriously impressed.

We ended the night with strawberry cheesecake which perfectly rounded out our experience with Cache.

After dinner we headed to their lounge up stairs which was...interesting. We only stayed to finish our drinks but maybe it's better on a Non-Valentine's weekend? I'd be interested to hear if anyone else had been upstairs and what they thought.

Hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day! If you're like us or our friends in the Northeast - hope you stay warm and safe over the next few days!

Three Fold Noodles and Dumpling Co.

Over the last couple of years, Little Rock has really grown as far as dining choices. Not that there is anything wrong with a chain (looking at you Chili's Triple Dipper!), but there's something more exciting about eating local and unique.

One that EH and I have both been excited for was the Three Fold Noodles and Dumpling Co. 

So on a chilly Friday night we ventured out.

Set in an old bank building, it's a vintage but modern feel that  is pretty popular in the area lately. The old bank vault is still visible and the space is bright, open and airy.

The menu is simple as well - three entree options and the choice between chicken, pork, and vegetarian. Which is refreshing after going to a restaurant and having to choose from a 9 page menu.

We went with one order of dumplings (pork), and one bowl of noodles (chicken).

And the verdict is...it's all pretty good! Nice flavors, nothing overly complex, just the right amount of spice. No bar service which makes it more of a lunch venue in my mind, but we would definitely go back.

Have you been? Any fun new restaurants in your area?

New Look and Updates

Another weekend has blown by and EH and I have tried to take advantage of every bit of it. You may have noticed there has been some updating around here as well! 

Nothing is done yet but I'm a do-it-all-right-now-er and also a do-it-bit-by-bit-er but hopefully everything is done and finished early this week. I hope you like it!

I have so much stuff to talk about, lots of small and big projects that I can't wait to share, so come back soon!

Also all of my words are pretty much spent - have you SEEN The Walking Dead premiere? Holy crap!
