Despite missing our dad's on Father's Day, we had another fun yet relaxing weekend in Raleigh.
Friday night, we went to a place we heard was delicious from multiple sources, so we decided to check it out. Beasley's Chicken & Honey was quite the cute little place. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't the name and decor that really drew us in, but the food didn't disappoint.
Drinks were all served in Mason jars (water, beer, wine, everything), the menu was written on a giant chalkboard above the bar, it was dimly lit with plenty of candle light - definitely a trendy twist on southern comfort food. Of course we had to get fried chicken, mine was drizzled in honey and Landon's was atop a waffle...
Accompanied by some smokey green beans, bacon potato salad, and honey glazed biscuits, this chicken was pretty delicious; crispy yet moist. The honey really didn't sound all that good to me, on top of fried chicken, but somehow this combo worked. The breading stayed crispy and the sweet/salty flavors worked pretty darn good together!
Saturday, we ventured back to the Farmer's Market for more peaches and tomatoes... I see this being a Saturday morning tradition for us, we can't get enough and we're constantly snacking on those peaches and tomatoes! After that, Landon went to the driving range and I went for a run - my farthest yet - 7 miles!
I'm sure you've seen this on Facebook or Pinterest, but I'm not even going to act like I ever felt like the top picture during this run - it was brutal but felt amazing all in one. I told Landon just the other day "I think I'm 'a runner' now." I never thought I'd see the day; I used to despise running, but I actually enjoy it now and look forward to my "long runs" on Saturdays. (I do three 4 - 4.5 mile runs during the week).
Sunday was literally a sun-day for us; we laid out by the pool and got some color, swam a little and did some reading. And if anyone is keeping track, I'm almost finished with book 1 and I'm about to move on to book 2 :)
Have a wonderful week!
