either that dress is really unflattering or I've gained a TON of weight. eeek!!
We've arrived at U of I for my brother's law school graduation and we're here to eat some fried foods!
my bro making the recommendations on what to order
this was a very delicious fried fish sandwich.
the fried chicken was good but it still doesn't measure up to the greasy fried chicken in London.
U of I is such a cute college town. definitely brought me back in time..
we went to a Korean restaurant for dinner and received amazing service and pretty decent food.
we stopped at a local college bar for a sample of beer and some socialization
lots of beers to choose from
3 years of school sure go by fast.. Congrats to my older brother for finishing law school cum laude!!
Unfortunately, we brought the camera that doesn't have a very good lens :(. These pictures were the best I could do!

Portland Wineries
Huevos Rancheros- black beans, cheese, avocado, sour cream, salsa, egg over medium with corn tortillas. I've never ordered this dish for breakfast before but all the ingredients together were very tasty.
"Man-cakes" - as seen on Man vs. Food. Apparently, if you eat three of these guys you get your picture posted up on the wall. I don't believe the host was able to finish them. We ordered the whole wheat blueberry cakes. They were delicious and especially wheat-y.
he he he. I like the Charlie Sheen painting. We met the local artist who do these paintings that just happened to walk in to the cafe as we were speaking about him. He was covered in paint, ha!
The hubs showing his brother how his new 3DS works. It's actually a pretty cool gadget but boys will be boys!
We decided to forgo Omar's porsche for the winery trip but check it out.
IWANNAONE!
The trunk is a storage unit. Pretty nifty :)
First winery stop of the day @ Tyrus Evan
I took pictures while the boys did their tasting. I wasn't in the mood to drink but I did get to smell a bunch of wines. Mmmm... pinot..
checking out the book collection
Poor Paul and his leg!
We stopped at Horse Radish for lunch
olives and bread. A classic combination.
a delicious spread of cheeses
I also had a bowl of the chicken and wild rice soup. It was thick and full of wild rice and tender chunks of chicken. Yum!
The last winery stop of the day: Stoller Winery. It was a beautiful sight to take in.
Portland was so good to us but now we're back in Chicago for a remainder of 4 days and my brother's law school graduation. Hip Hip Hoooooray!!
