When I took this picture last year, it took my breath away. Well, until elf #2 yelled at me for taking pictures because she didn't think I was buying anything. I was and had told the elf #1 that, but Grumpy didn't know that (and didn't really care.) I digress.
I love Shutterfly's selection of cards and this one was just what I had in mind when I sat down to do up our cards this year. It saved me from designing one of my own!
So which category do you fall in this year?!
This blog was originally set up as a means of keeping friends and family updated during Nolan's surgery and hospital stay in January 2008. It has evolved into a report of the adventures he and his twin sister, Reagan, AKA "The Twinadoes" share with their family and friends. As well as our pursuit of happiness through food, wine, and friends.

10 To Try in 2012. Fail.
10 restaurants I want to try this year:
1. SOHO
2. L'Albatros
3. Spice Kitchen & Bar
4. Sun Luck Garden
5. Fat Casual BBQ
6. Bac
7. Crop Bistro
8. Deagan's Kitchen
9. Pura Vida
10. Pranzo
Well.....so much for my 10 To Try in '12! I know there are 7 weeks left in the year, so I may knock another one of the list, but let's face it, I've had 45 weeks to get to 10 places and I've made it just FOUR (well, technically 5 but it was for a party and only tasted a sample from Crop!)
I'm not confident I'll make it to one more on my list this year!
One I love, love, love. SOHO.
One I really, really, like. Deagan's.
One was good, but not my fave. L'Albartros.
And the other one, I'm just not feeling. There is much better Italian food in DTW at Fauncee's for a lot less money than at Pranzo.
I look at Spice every time we go to Happy Dog, but still have not made it.
I've had some of Fat Casual's meat on a steam bun from Noodlecat, does that count for anything?!
The other 3 I haven't even laid eyes on this year.
The problem is two-fold. One we don't get out enough. Two, we are creatures of habit.
Nolan could eat Ramen every.day.of.the.week from Noodlecat (and I'm not going to lie, I crave the chicken steam bun).
Reagan and Daddy are two peas in a beer pod, in that the love Ballantine and Fat Head's.
And me, well I'm on a Food Network show professing my love for Momocho's Machaca. (insert "that's what she said joke".)

(I'm in the first minute, again around 3 min, and again around 5min.)
So, I'm carrying over Spice Kitchen & Bar, Bac, and Crop to 2013 since they are in locations we tend to go to more often. I need 7 more. Tell me what I must try in this city and if I haven't tried it, I'll put it on the list.
