Gluttony

This weekend centered heavily on food.

Saturday we went to the tile store to buy grout colorant and there was an A&W across the street so we decided to have lunch there. I don’t think we’ve eaten at an A&W since our honeymoon in Florida. Unfortunately, we weren’t missing much. Even the fried cheese curds were just ok and this is coming from a self-proclaimed cheese addict.

Sunday we needed to stop at Joe’s great Aunt’s house in his old neighborhood so we got down there early so we could have lunch at the best BBQ place ever, The Pit Rib House. Then to kill some time we went to a nearby arcade.

After visiting with family and scoping out Joe’s parents’ old house, which looks nothing like it used to, we stopped at the Pepperidge Farm store to get some cookies and then picked up some pizzas from the best pizza place ever, Palermo’s. Or perhaps I should say former best pizza place ever since it didn’t taste like I remember? It was disappointing. I have such fond memories of when Joe and I were first dating – we’d pick up a half cheese half sausage pizza and then get garlic dipping sticks from the Gino’s East (which was torn down a few years ago and is now a Panda Express). *Sigh*

We took the pizzas over to my parents’ and spent a few hours hanging out and eating. I took a quick photo of a raccoon hanging out in the tree by their house before we headed back home.

So that was our lovely weekend. It went by too quickly as always. And I think I’m 5 lbs. heavier now. ;)

  1. Yep, that’s the place. Luckily it’s just that one that closed down. The one we went to is still open and there’s a few out where I live now too. Their pizza isn’t the best (if you visit Chicago again, I’d highly recommend Lou Malnati’s deep dish), but those garlic bread sticks cannot be beat.
