Els for autism

A few weeks ago, Fran from TBC called Huck and asked if we would like to help with an upcoming event. Considering most of our days are spent just the two of us in our home working, we jumped at the opportunity.

The event was hosted by TBC and Els for Autism. I learned that Ernie Els is a famous golfer and started Els for Autism after his son was diagnosed with Autism. The Ernie Els Foundation raises money for research to better understand and treat autism. They are also raising money to open a facility, The Els Center of Excellence (you can read more about the center on the website. It’s very interesting.) The Els’ have donated $6 million of their own money to the project.

Last night’s event was held at the Old Palm Golf Club.

Jupiter Beer Festival

You may remember my post from last years beer festival. It was one of the first events we went to after moving here. One of the nice things about this year, we actually had friends to hangout with!

Huck’s friend Justin came over for the event. Justin is one of the owners of 7venth Sun in Dunedin, Florida. Huck and I offered to help him handout beer while he ventured around the Festival. He ended up bringing a coworker with him, so Huck and I were not needed. Huck did arrive early Saturday to help setup for the event. He said you wouldn’t believe how much prep went into getting everything ready.

Field Of Beer

This weekend was long! Fun! But LONG! I felt like we were GO GO GO since Friday afternoon. Friday, we went to Field of Beer, Saturday, Jupiter Beer Festival, and Sunday was a Post Festival Beach Party. I consumed more calories in 3 days than I usually do all month, I barely slept 4 hours Saturday night, and “tried” a bunch of beer.

Friday, we went to Roger Dean Stadium for Field of Beers. Field of Beer is a craft beer and food pairing event. 15 chefs paired up with brewers to made dishes that would compliment each other.

The Foodie in me was so excited to eat. The Brewer in Huck couldn’t wait to drink. It was the perfect event for both of us.

Everything was setup right on the baseball field. Tables were setup in the dugout too! We enjoyed a beer, on the benches, in the dugout. All we needed was some sunflower seeds.

New Recipe of the week- Gnocchi Ragu

Welcome to the first New Recipe Friday. Huck bought me an Italian Cook book for Christmas, and I couldn’t wait to tryout one of the recipes. I have a small obsession with Italy! I turned on my Traditional Italian Pandora station and started cooking. Classical Italian music always puts me in the cooking mood. It reminds me of walking through the streets of Montepulciano with the sounds of music and the smells of love coming from each home. Italians know how to live. I remember walking through town and seeing families sitting around large tables, listening to music, drinking wine, and eating food that smelled amazing.
