Mmmm!

Sweet Potato Salad
Last night I tried out a NY Times “recipe” I found the other day: A Potato Salad of a Different Color. With only vague measurements and instructions, this is the closest I’ve ever come to really cooking. Mine doesn’t look quite as pretty as the professional photo, but it was delicious and I proud of myself!

Tell Every Last Boy That You’re My Man


What a yucky day! Rainy days are meant for sleeping in! *Le sigh* The weekend was a nice one, though. Friday night we had sushi with Jack’s company at Matsuri. Saturday was our crews’ monthly “Brunch Day,” where we all meet up at Bondi Road for food and tons of mimosas; and then precede to bar hop around the neighborhood. It was a delight, as always! Sunday, I tagged along as Jack had some business to attend do, and got some Artichoke! Jack then drove with his friend out to the airport and I took a very long and nice walk back uptown (nearly 85 streets up and 5 avenues over!).

Anywho, I’m not sure how I missed Bat For Lashes “Two Suns” when it came out. I’ve been listening to it all weekend. Beautiful album, from beginning to end!

Good Days

Good Days
Hello, all! We had a full and wonderful weekend. This year is starting off very well indeed!
Friday: Jack and I both took a half-day so we could get our apartment ready for a little “Old Roomies” party. Corey, Rei and Drew came over and we nibbled on spinach, mushroom and four cheese lasagna (lovingly made by me from scratch)!
Saturday: Our friend, Josh had a “Welcome Back” gathering. Twas very chill. We just drank a bit and played Celebrity.
Sunday: Jack surprised me with a great date night! We got all dressed up, went down to Cafe Iguana, drank mango sangria and listened to the amazing Danielle Lovelace. After the show, I was in such a mood that I was willing to take a little stroll around Time Square!

Fake Shack

Fake Shake Shack
The sun has come back to play after what feels like a week of gray and the thought of heading down to The Shack and chowing down sounds wonderful! Just this photo makes my mouth water! These days I’m probably a bigger fan of the ‘Shroom Burger, but it’s awesome that A Hamburger Today put together a recipe for a Shake Shack taste-alike!
