However, the highlight of the meal for me was trying Dr. (Not worth the $16 price in my opinion, but what do I know about Jewish Deli?) I had a bit of the sandwich and it was OK. I normally skip lunch, but, of course, wanted to sample some of the Rye Society’s fare. Steamed pastrami OR turkey pastrami, slaw, Russian dressing, swiss, griddled rye bread (I have no idea why it’s called that “18+1” but that’s a mystery to investigate.) Here’s how it’s described: Microadventure #71: The Rye Society Microadventure #71: Eating at The Rye Society The “18+1” and Dr. Since I fancy myself an event-planner and ultimate geek, I felt confident we’d find just the right microadventures for the day. We agreed to meet up for lunch there, hang out on Pearl Street, and see what the day would bring. He said he was curious about The Rye Society, a Jewish Deli in the Avanti building on Pearl Street. I know, I know… not everyone (including Seth) is looking to score geek-points.) (Actually, anyone who can talk about Agile at all scores major geek-points in my book. Seth downplayed his geekiness: “The extent of my geekiness would be talking about agile!” he humbly claimed. I also informed Seth that it was Embrace Your Geekness Day since it’s always a bonus to stick with a theme when planning a Microadventure. Seth was appropriately awed by my vast knowledge of Boulder events and places.

(I won’t include the full summer schedule spreadsheet, but believe me, I was impressive.) When I saw that Seth (who I’d met in Mexico City) was in Boulder, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for another Microadventure!īeing the Boulder-area expert that I am, I suggested about 43 different activities ranging from hiking, to tubing, to karaoke. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be living in my big, beautiful house, but while I’m here, it sure is nice to have visitors, so I’m very glad Neal made the effort!Įven though we didn’t go anywhere too exciting, having a no-fuss take-out dinner with my brother on my backyard patio is an experience to be savored, for sure! Author yvettefrancino Posted on JJCategories Health and Wellness Leave a comment on Microadventure #75: Backyard Busaba with Neal Microadventure #71-#74: Embrace Your Geekness Day in Boulder with Seth I really am so grateful that my house survived the fires and that my back yard is so pretty, thanks to John, my housemate who does all the yard work. He’s very handy, that’s for sure!īut this time, he just relaxed a little and noticed how much the yard and neighborhood had matured over the past 14 years. Neal remembered that last time he was at my house (for Megan’s wedding) he fixed the fountain pump and did other handyman chores for me. We enjoyed the evening breeze and catching up. I laid on the “But you haven’t been to my house in 14 years!” guilt trip and it worked, because despite his exhaustion, Neal drove up and we enjoyed a lovely dinner out on my patio – one of my favorite places to eat!Įven though it would have been nice for others to have been available, I preferred getting a one-on-one dinner with my brother… something that’s a rarity. It turns out I was the only one who responded to his email which almost caused Neal to want to rethink the whole plan since he only had gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before.

He opted for Thai take-out (Busaba), which was perfect! I told him I could cook or we could get take out.

Oh! Oh! Me! Me! (I responded immediately.) In fact, I said, I was happy to host at my house. This microadventure was an unexpected surprise! My brother, Neal, sent me an email saying he was in town for business and asked if anyone was up for dinner on him!
