Monday Morning Coffee Break

I had a great extended weekend. I must say that I wasn't that impressed with my trip to Hot Doug's. We waited about an hour in line and left a little disappointed, but I will give it another chance sometime. On the other hand, I enjoyed Great Lake Pizza much more. We arrived a little before five and there was already a line. The place is really really small and has room for 10 people. We ordered two of the three pizzas that they make. It was definitely on the expensive side, but I would back for sure.

I also made my first trip to Half Acre Brewing where I picked up a four pack (16oz cans) of their Gossamer Golden Ale. I am not a big fan of golden ales, but this beer is very refreshing and tastes great. It's back to the grind, but another short week awaits me. I hope everyone had a great weekend and happy Monday!

Today, I am finally making my first trip to Hot Doug's. The "Game of the Week" is Ostrich Sausage with Cumin Mustard Cream, Tabasco Olives and Aged Piave Cheese. Sounds delicious and you can throw in some duck fat fries! Head over to the New York Times website and you can hear their new album High Violet streaming in it's entirety. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
