Weekend with Kumar
Posted on June 10, 2024 by Ching under Food and Drink, Pickleball.
Our friend Kumar Krishnan from Bartlesville came to stay with us the weekend of the Andover Rotary Club’s Picklemania tournament. I always love when Kumar visits because he brings surprise gifts.
Kumar made me black pickleball-themed tumbler and he also made a white techie-themed one for Brian.
Kumar arrived early on Friday and helped us get some signs up. And then he went to meet up with Kimberly Howe and the Friday night pickleball crew for some rec games. Later that evening a bunch of us gathered at Merle’s for dinner.
We did learn a hard lesson that night. The kitchen closes at 9 pm. There was an issue with a couple of orders that didn’t get rectified before the kitchen closed so some of us got fed and some of us didn’t. Not really great because Brian is not a huge fan of Merle’s to begin with.
However, we made up for the lackluster dining experience by taking Kumar to one of our most favorite local spots (Local Flavor) the next day after the tournament.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Sriracha Beef Tips (Brian’s fave)
Meat Loaf and Red Potatoes
Pork Belly Mac and Cheese
Chicken Bacon Wrap and Fries (another Brian’ fave)
I needed a drink after the tournament so I ordered the first one on the list. I think it’s Local Flavor’s version of Long Island iced tea but I can’t remember what is called. Will share highlights from Picklemania in the next post. Check back soon!
