July

'Ah July! :) The midst of summer. Swimming pools, and warm lazy days... how I long for those... 2 of my favorite things. Just been busy with going to school, and working... Had friends visiting from North Carolina, and we visited The Brickyard, downtown.

I tried my first ever teriyaki wings! Being that I don't like spicy things, these wings were delicious! I finally began to understand why so many people love wings. My main entree was "fish and chips."  The fish was flaky, which is fine... except for when it's deep fried, like it was. I wanted fish I could hold with my fingers, and instead I had to use a fork... The fries, nothing spectacular... crinkle cut, I could buy them at the grocery. We had a great time with friends. Would I return here? ... Being that Im not into the bar scene, and I didn't like my entree, probably not.

Everything on the menu had cute catchy names; definitely a spot for locals. one example is "The PRT" which was actually a mushroom and swiss burger. Catchy. Definitely catchy.

The atmosphere... pictures of people plastered everywhere; people that have drank more than 10 "long mugs" ... 32 oz beer (don't worry not ALL in the SAME sitting). A few of the tables have church pews for seating, ironic? Maybe. The tables have Dominion Post articles pertaining to Morgantown underneath a glass table top. That's pretty neat... Not something I've seen before...

Im really enjoying broadening my horizons. Although a new favorite restaurant hasn't been found, YET. Suggestions welcomed!

I know it's been a while since my last update. I thank my sister for encouraging me to begin this blog. June held a quaint italian restaurant here in Morgantown, that's right... Puglioni's. I was impressed that Puglioni's makes almost ALL of their own pasta!

Also thought it was really awesome that Puglioni's is CLOSED on Sundays. More businesses should adopt this attitude... that's another story for another time. haha.

I remember the paintings in the entrance of Puglioni's seemed to be orange/red brush strokes. Something modern? While that's great, It just made me hungry for bacon. haha. I had the lasagna. The sauce was too sweet. Their homemade bread? That was to die for! The salad...blue cheese dressing lacked something.

The atmosphere was warm, and friendly. Even though upon arrival, it took them a while to seat us. As you well know, I appreciate good service. Hey, then again who doesn't?

Their restrooms were neat, tidy, and clean :). (Another one of those things that everyone loves :p)
I will be visiting Puglioni's again when Im in the mood for italian but just don't want to fight the crowds of the better known chain; "Olive Garden"
