Happy New Year (or Happy belated New Year)! Looking back, it has been a while since we published any updates, and the number of posts for 2015 and 2016 is way lower than previous years. Hannah and I promise to be more active this new year, and keep everyone updated on what is happening in our lives in Chicago.
I took a skive day on Friday to go to Milwaukee. We were to pick up a fiddle leaf fig tree which I found on Craigslist, and since we are going to travel 2 hours north, we decided to make a day trip of it. And Hannah found exactly the place - Lakefront Brewery. We had lunch (sorry forgot to take pictures of the food before we gorged ourselves with delicious beer-battered fries, pretzel bites and wurst. And of course, there was craft-beer. We had a glass each as a starter, and Hannah carried on to order another sampler, so that we could decide which beer we like best. We ended up taking home a growler of "My turn: Mike" (hazelnut nutty brown ale).
Finally after waiting for nearly a month, Nando's opened its door at Hyde Park today (Saturday)! And to celebrate the opening, they are donating 100% of their earning that day to Kenwood High School. Hannah and I decided that we should do out part for charity as well, and headed over to Nando's for dinner. We ordered a chicken platter - It is still how we remember it.. very spicy and good! Even though the place was packed with people, the people in-charge of Nando's were very well-organised, and we were seated and enjoying our food in about 15mins.
And rounding up the first post of 2017, let me introduce the new family member - "Lucky" :)
