Bin

Bin wine cafe in Chicago is one of my favorite memories from our last trip. We had been out all day, shopping! I had on my new american apparel which always makes me feel good, but Will was in a terrible mood because of the severe hunger he was suffering from.... and we pop over to this semi shi shi looking place and think.... oh god no, there's nothing that looks hearty and vegetarian! However, several glasses of wine later we had feasted on some of the best cheese i've ever had, tempura beans, pasta, pizza and so on....
*sigh* stuffed, buzzed, happy, everyone smiling ... it was fantastic. There's nothing like that feeling. The little cafe on the corner, cheeks red with wine, and a stroll back to the apartment after some quite incredible desserts.
I'm really missing it right now. the food, the freedom - i need a vacation!! I feel so trapped in my car - we don't have any really great restaurants that aren't a corporate chain. bleh. i need out of the south.
