Spenard Roadhouse is one of my favorite restaurants. I love the food, the décor, and pretty much the entire warm, lively vibe of the place. Plus, it’s all served up with a huge dose of fun.

Honey Tasting @ Summit Spice Co.

USKH: Six Amazing Years, One Year Later
Before I go into the point of this post (which is to thank USKH for the six years I spent there; it’s been exactly one year since my last day at USKH and I’m feeling nostalgic), here’s some background about the less than clearly planned career path of a 22-year-old English Literature major.
