Matt's Birthday Festivities Wrap Up

My husband's latest birthday festivities this month took us to the new Scotty's Brewhouse location in downtown Indianapolis. Luckily his birthday fell during the weeks of Devour Downtown - so we were able to dine out for quite the deal! (if you missed this past devour make sure to mark your calendars for January 25 - Feb. 6, 2010).



Matt tried the aloha burger off the 2 for $30 Devour Downtown menu (We split our burgers in half and each were able to try half of both - the aloha was great!)



And I had the Shewman Special - jalapenos and peanut butter on a burger! Yum! For some reason I am attracted to odd burgers like that - I loved the donut burger they had at Badaboomz as well.

The menu also came with an appetizer and a dessert (not pictured because we ate them so fast! :)) We had the nachos and the peanut butter pie! So good!



Would definitely recommend Scotty's as a must-try restaurant. They have such an extensive menu list that you are bound to find something you like whether you are feeling like something different or just wanting the same old burger and fries. And I love the patio - eating outside in the summer weather is so great because it only lasts so long here in Indy.

Oh and the drink specials are great! We enjoyed a $7 margarita pitcher the night we went - but there are different specials every night.

Yay for good birthday weekends! :)

Weekend in Review

Last weekend went by in a kind of blur! So many things going on! Friday night, I made it out to the Indy Wine & Brew Fest with Jessie and sampled many an interesting drink. I found I particularly enjoy Moscato wines and that I still don't care for beer too much. Though the Abita Strawberry wasn't bad and anything Leinenkugel is more than tolerable. :)



Saturday we woke up early and headed to our friend Tim & Jessie's neck of the woods and took part in the Julian Avenue Garage Sale and the Celebrate Irvington festivities!



Found ourselves more garage sale goodies!



And ate lunch at Jockamo's Pizza - which is a must try! I could make an entire dinner of just the breadsticks and be happy - they were sooo good!



The breadpudding was FANTASTIC!



Pizza was pretty amazing as well - we had the Margarita pizza - but may try a different kind the next time we stop in.

Saturday night I made it up to Lafayette for an old friend of mine's bridal shower where I was the reigning champion of the "Stuff in Your Purse" shower game! Booya! LOL, sadly though my purse contained everything on the list except Keds/panty hose, a tampon, a $50 dollar bill and red lipstick. Got points for my nail clippers, paper clip, library card, 1984 penny, 5 different business cards, Victoria Secret card, calendar and perfume. :)

Sunday most of my family came down to Indy for my baptism! :) Yay on both accounts! More about that in a later post!

Fiesta of Flavors at Adobo Grill

Made it out to the new downtown Adobo Grill Friday night for an exclusive Cocktail Party! I was quite blown away at the food, the atmosphere, the service and the space - wow! A great downtown location tucked away off of Washington & Pennsylvania Streets.

I was a little confused when I first walked through the doors and couldn't spot anyone from the company who I received the invite from - worried that I had gotten the details wrong I asked a hostess who further confused me by insisting that the company I mentioned had an event the night before and that this was a private event.

Despite the confusion I stuck around and was soon whisked away by a gracious waiter on a tour of the facility. He practically took me under his wing much of the time I was there, persuading me to try the passed menu samplings and the various (delicious!) complimentary drinks.

(I checked my email later and I was indeed at the right place at the right time on the right day.)

My brief visit was well worth it and I shall be back with husband in tow! Who can turn down homemade, hand-shook margaritas, house recipe sangria and made-in-front-of-you guacamole?

They even have a great lunch special that might lure us all out of the office! Any ½ sandwich or ½ salad with a cup tortilla or special soup and a soda, limeade or ice tea for $7.50.

Forgot my camera - but Renee from Feed Me/Drink Me has great pictures on her post!
