droooool.

I'm getting PUMPED for my upcoming trip to Madison, mostly because I associate that place with wonderful people and food. Oh, the food. Here's a little refresher from the last trip.

I spent some time today on Foodspotting, which propelled me to a level of delicious food anticipation from which there is no return.

If you don't have this app yet and you love looking at photos of food as much as I do, it's definitely worth the free download. I've scoped out a few places/foods I'm definitely going to need to check out this time around (and a few favorites I'm anxious to revisit). I love referring to this app especially when I'm visiting a new area, photos speak louder to me than words on a menu, or any review on Yelp.

Ugh. The little golden nuggets of fried cheese. I can't wait. 

If life were fair, I would have these every day.

I'm normally not a sweet breakfast food person, but THIS makes me want to change my mind.

I actually had these pancakes last time I was in town and they are SO good. Especially when you ask them to slather a little peanut butter and banana on top.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm going to ask the pilot if he'll fly the plane straight to Crema. Drop me off.

Definitely interested in trying this. They use the Chemex brewing method. Fancy pants.

I know some of you are probably thinking it seems silly to plan a trip around food, fine. I'll see stuff in between, but Leslie shared a quote from Virginia Woolf with me today that pretty much sums up my life... 

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."

Amen to that sister.

So in summary, next week, if all goes as planned, I will be elbow deep in fried cheese, pancakes and beer. Living well!
