2010 - Day 28

Agatha & Valentina is quite possibly the best grocery store of all time!! I always call it Agatha & Valencia , because I get it confused with the city in Spain. I don't know why that is, but whatever. It is set up in courses just like a meal and it is my favorite place and quite possibly the only place to buy basa fish, which is delicious.

2010 - Day 27

Occupational hazard I guess that so many things end up in my office, but I forgot about this crucifix and it startled me when I walked back into my office. By the end of the day, however, it had found its new home at a new Catholic School in Bushwick.

2010 - Day 26

It was Jean's golden birthday, so I trekked down to Brooklyn and bought an ice cream cake. Apparently, it was Jean's second ice cream cake of the day! We went to one of those really chill bars in Brooklyn, where people were sitting there reading a book and having a beer. While we sat in the front solving impossible math riddles, telling lame jokes and doing a celebratory shot of tequila. To each there own. Happy Birthday Jean!

2010 - Day 25

A picture of Monday dinner! The Monday dinner tradition is by far the best thing that ever came to pass. Tonight, Amanda tried to make her own dessert. She was inspired by a peach cobbler type thing. However, she thought that pears are a little more in season than peaches so she tried that instead. They turned out pretty good, and obviously we ate them. Tip for next time, I think that we might want to cook the pears for a little bit before adding the sugar. Regardless, it was another successful Monday dinner.

2010 - Day 24

I have no excuse for this photo, and that is the truth. The Dram Shop is an amazing place and a lot of more "photo worthy" things happened. However, at the end of 8 hours of watching glorious football (and the Vikings losing!) this was the best that I came up with. I hate this time of year, when I have to find new hobbies. A Sunday with only the Pro Bowl is going to be depressing!

2010 - Day 23

A friend of mine couldn't decide where she wanted to have her birthday, so she gave 3 choices and had people vote. However, she now really wants to do all three things, so I'm pretty sure that is absolutely going to happen. On Saturday, we sang Karaoke at a dive bar in Chinatown called "Winnie's" Here is Rebecca singing to the plant in the window, wrapped in aluminum foil. I sang some Spice Girls and it was good.

2010 - Day 22

Amanda and Jay have been told me about one of their favorite places, which is a total date place called Pata Negra on E. 12th Street. It is this great Spanish wine and tapas bar. They are now best friends with the waiter, Matao, who is awesome. We had some great wine and just about every type of Spanish "jamon" that there is, and had at least three course. Here is one of them. It was awesome.
