Weekend Happenings

So far I’ve had a pretty fun weekend! Friday night after work Chris and I met some friends for dinner at one of our favorite places, the Albany Pump Station!

We split the nachos for an appetizer but for dinner I went with something new, the lobster sandwich.

I had never seen it on the menu before so I wanted to give it a try. Usually I get the veggie wrap but didn’t see it! I hope they didn’t get rid of it…

Anyway, the sandwich came on a croissant which was a unique touch, it was good! There were some decent sized chunks of lobster in there.

The menu said it came with fruit but they served it with fries instead?? Weird, I would have liked the fruit.

Saturday Chris and I went over to Delaware Ave to check out the Cheese Traveler, a gourmet cheese shop. Chris got these special pickles, marinated in Dogfish Head Beer.

We haven’t tried them yet, though! The cheese there looks good but I honestly don’t think I can pay so much money for cheese. So many kinds to choose from, its a bit overwhelming.

Now for the highlight of my day, lunch at All Good Bakers! I was looking forward to this all week! I had trouble deciding what to get because everything on the menu is vegetarian and looks amazing. I went with Big Red, the red bean veggie burger, served with tempeh bacon, cheddar and a fried egg on their home made bun.

It was honestly one of the best veggie burgers I’ve had!

I couldn’t leave without getting my favorite–the vegan cinnamon bun! I was saving it for later in the evening, but it didn’t last past like 4PM…

I really love AGB! If you live in Albany and have not been there for lunch…go!

Hope everyone else is having a fantastic Superbowl weekend. Chris and I are picking up pizzas later and heading to my sister’s Have fun & stay safe!

Stay tuned for a race-racap tomorrow. Today was the final run of the Winter Series!
