Drake & Cortez Call It a Night, Roscoe Village, Chicago

Even though I came in 3rd place in the Texas Hold’Em tournament AND my sweater was the color of money, I didn’t actually win any dough. Still a fun night at Jen and Chad’s.

On New Years Day we went to Jeff & Heather’s for football & food. Tons of food. The food this holiday season has been amazing, but I’m glad the holidays are over. I can get back on track. Well, after we finish all the sushi, char sui, shumai*, inari, and other leftovers that were sent home with us.

*Dallas’ Aunt Gail’s pork shumai was my favorite dish yesterday, the best shumai I’ve ever had. I’m afraid when we go out to restaurants now I’m going to think all the shumai is crap and just be like “This isn’t like Auntie Gail’s shumai!” I’m ruined forever!

Drake & Cortez
Drake & Cortez, North Center, Chicago

These are the boys I’m spending the weekend with – Drake & Cortez. Cortez is a couple years older than Drake and tends to be more mellow and chill while Drake is a rambunctious adolescent who gets all up in your face (in a good way). Although he does have a licking problem! Both are so well behaved. To get them to pose for this photo all I had to do was tell them to sit down and they did it. Of course, it helped that I was standing next to their bowl of treats. It was fun to spend the weekend with them and to wander around a new neighborhood.
