so what do you do when tropical depression beryl tries to ruin memorial day weekend?!
you don’t let it!
after weather through the storm on sunday night (and introducing him to the joys of Ticket to Ride), sean and i decided to take advantage of the break in the clouds and off to wal-mart we went. an hour later we returned with 2 fantastic purchases! (insert: an amex roadbump and crossed fingers that they would both fit in touareg!)

while pursuing the aisles of the fresh market last weekend (and scooping up some tasty white asparagus) i encountered the row of barrels of trail mix of all varieties and have endured a craving ever since! i sense a return trip will be happening very, very soon!
now mom will be the first to tell you that trail mix is our weakness. during summer camp its our favorite snack/meal/treat and nothing hits the spot after a lazy day at the pool quite like that jug with the red lid. (sorry company whose name i do not know)
not to mention what a great idea to give trail mix as a party favor! i’m adding it to the mental “genius idea” list.

how do you know you have the best boyfriend ever? he somehow manages to make sure there is never a dirty dish in the sink.
in return, you turn said “best boss ever’s” fish into a delicious dinner
{black bean, corn, heavy lime and cilantro salsa/white asparagus/cajun mahi/soy y tampico tuna}
best text i could have gotten sunday morning, “how about a progressive brunch”
i said “S! this is why we’re friends, i’ve been dreaming of a progressive party since i started my blog!”
and thus the day began with bottomless champagne (accompanied by a very small bottle of oj), french toast, a bowl of melon (that was hated on by the pineapple lovers) and a chorizo scramble
next up we migrated across the street to the taco bar for guac and sean was treated to his first pacifico (prepping the boy for cabo)
followed by a stroll through the modica market, a trip to the newly established shrimp shack, pickles for margaritas, bud and alleys for the best tuna dip known to the gulf coast and finally wrapped up with food truck dining at the meltdown {they have an ah-mazing brie and bacon on cranberry walnut bread} and wild bill hotdogs {original for J and spicy for double S}!
first progressive brunch=complete success!
