Meet and Greet Tuesday

I kind of answered this in the previous question, but my blog name has changed. In 2019, I decided to change the name since “School in Our Slippers” totally didn’t fit with my blog space. My SIL, who is super creative, was the one that came up with my first name, so I reached out to her asking for a new suggestion. She thought of a perfect one… “What’s Brewing with Bri.” 🙂

Of all your posts you have written, which is your favorite and why?

Honestly, it would be the story I share of my son, Leland. He was diagnosed at the age of two with Type 1 Diabetes, and it was such a hard time for us. As his mama, struggling to keep my head above water with that diagnosis, blogging about it was extremely therapeutic for me.  Find that blog post here.

You need some encouragement.  Who is your go to person for a little pick me up?

Joe! He is such a rock in my life and always looking at the upside of things. He has been my shoulder to cry on more times than I can count. Outside of him I would say my girlfriend, Heather. She is a wonderful listener, and most importantly, always points me back to Christ.

You have friends coming over to dinner tomorrow night.  What are you going to make for a meal?

In the summer, my go-to meal for company is always grilling out. Hamburgers, brats, chicken… it’s all so easy to prepare, it feels like a no-stress meal… especially since Joe takes care of cooking the meat ;)… can you go wrong with grilling out?! Seems most people love it.

Outside of summer, I like to make a dish called chicken poppy seed. It’s the first meal I ever made for Joe, and it’s been our favorite since.

You are planning an evening out.  What’s your favorite go-to restaurant for a fun time?

Our favorite restaurant is Nagoya. Joe and I have done numerous date nights there. We LOVE the hibachi, and it is absolutely a blast watching them cook all the food all the grill right in front of us.

If you could have a weekend away, just you and your husband, where would you go?

Anywhere the kids aren’t, ha, kidding! Joe and I have been talking about going to Nashville, but that would be more than a weekend trip. I think I would have to say a jamboree weekend (is that what they’re called?) of country music concerts and we would take the camper to stay in.

What are some pet peeves of yours, and why?

One would be when someone is brushing their teeth and talking to me. There are so many better times to try and talk to one another. Another is when someone spills water on the floor and doesn’t wipe it up and then I end up stepping in it and getting wet socks.

What’s your go to type of music?
