For The Love Of Eating In... And Lemon Pasta!

I'm not one to complain about eating in :> :> I heart lemon pasta and chicken!

It's funny, when I was pregnant I didn't have any major cravings— I still question if it's really legit— but if there's one major odd thing that I consumed a lot of it was lemons. My mom best describes me eating them 'as if I were eating oranges'. :> :> Panera and Chipotle, I remember, were great places to go because they both offer a bucket full of them for customers. I think because I had a rough, morning-sickness trimester, that the lemons sort of helped ease my queasy stomach, though it's kind of ironic because you'd think with all the acid coming up, the last thing I'd want to swallow is something acidic :>

Anywho. This dish might now be my new fav.

This is my plate:


This is Nui Nui's :>

Oink Oink Xmas 2012!

We spent last night, Xmas Eve, at Auntie Pat's house and had a good time. Lots of noise, food, sips, laughs, and presents :>

By today, Xmas Day, I was exhausted and looking forward to some rest. Nui Nui again! treated me well by letting me sleep in til 9:24am. She was just standing there in her crib quietly waiting. I could've slept longer had I not heard her... now that I think about it, how to you hear someone standing?... I probably had a enough sleep :>

Anyway.. despite thinking I'd have a lazy day in, my day in was not so lazy. As I write this I'm proud I accomplished everything I set out to do this weekend but am sore-achy-tired than desirable.

• Did I install Nui Nui's new, bigger car seat? Check.
• Did I assemble Nui Nui's art easel she got from Santa? Check.
• Did I lower Nui Nui's crib to the last notch because she's too tall for the middle slat? Check.
• Did I enjoy watching Nui Nui grow and develop at lightning speed this past year? Check.
• Did I love Nui Nui to pieces and intend to keep doing so in the future? Check.

Should I write future blog posts strictly in Q&A form? [Comment below! :>]

Anywho, by the time I finished all the above, I was tired and hungry. Mom was amazing as usual and cooked us a special treat that hit the spot and topped Xmas off with a bang! Baby back spare ribs! Nom nom! #bestmomever



What did you eat this Xmas [or past two days :>]?

Supper Club Does 31st Union

Supper Club continues! This is one of my favorite activities to do. Going out to nice (yet affordable) restaurants, nibbling on gud food, all the while sharing good laughs and good times with good people. #makingmemories

It's what I had imagined I'd be doing in my 20s but... sigh... all that time wasted and lost. O well, that was the past, this is now.

Anywho, I'm thankful and glad I can do these kinds of things with The Babe at my side. I know there are people out there who incorporate their tiny editions in their lives with friends and I'm determined to be one of those people. Those who don't like, accept, or want to be around kids, well, can forfeit our company. I'm a package deal.

Here we are. Supper Club does 31st Union.

Lasik Sunglasses & A Berry Glazed Donut Bagel!

I went for a free consultation for Lasik. Yeah, I'm still debating whether I should go through with it. The fence has a nice view from here.

The appointment consisted of dialating my eyes. They gave me these funky cool 'glasses' without stems. They came rolled up and stayed on my face my 'pinching'. Really cool idea/invention I must say.



Thereafter we went to Noah's bagels. I wish they still had the Pumpkin Walnut Crunch bagels because those were amazing but lasted for only a short period of time. Now the seasonal flavor is Berry Crunch. I decided to try it because, hey, limited time, right?

What did look like? A mess. What did it taste like? A decadent blueberry glazed donut. Is this what's causing my high LDL?



Nah! :>

Supper Club Does 31st Union!

Last week was a handful. By weekend I was exhausted. Weekend? What weekend? Yeah, run over by a truck exhausted to the bone.

But the slew of hits started with a lovely, delicious bang. The Supper Club continues! Bwah ha ha! (?) (:>) And I love it. This is what life is all about— gud friends, gud laughs (and banter :> *wink*), and gud babes that are the love of your life to share in the gud times!

Delicacies included: Salami, cheese, baconed brussel sprouts, more cheese! (grilled between bread :>), spicy wings, fish & chips, ice cream sammies, bread pudding, lost and found baby bottle cap :> The latter, I must say, was the sweetest :>

The Nom Nom.

We Love Carbs! We Love Carbs!

We've been hard-pressed to find good carbs around here so we are on the continual search for good ones. Why is it so difficult?? #lament #sigh So our search is ever ongoing.

We decided to take advantage of the good weather and go to the farmers market in a neighboring town. It's been months since we've been there and we, admittedly love their kettle corn.

I got into kettle corn when I was in NYC. They used to sell it at the street fairs. I imagine Ken still does. Yes, I knew him and he knew me :> I used to get the worst of its kind— of the peanut butter variety. It was probably one of the unhealthiest snacks you could find but it was absolutely delicious, so I ate it for dessert instead :> ..didn't make it any healthier but how's that for rationalization? :> Everything in moderation...

So anyway, we loaded ourselves up on carbs on this trip and mom's choice to get brioche was a fabulous one. Brioche is a french bread, light but saturated with butter. nom nom... It's a pricey bread but great for cutting into thick slices and making into french toast. Cheaper and more delicious than eating out :> Totally worth it, at least every once in a while.

In MYC they sell almond brioche at Celi Cela, which used to be a favorite. That with a latte from Think Coffee and I was set.. sigh, all this talk of deliciousness is making me hungry..

Enjoy and thanks for watching!
