2010 - Day 222

I took a break from the desert of the month calendar for July. Mainly because the desert was rolls of store bought cookies made into ice cream sandwiches. That wasn't going to travel to work very well. Nor was it challenging at all, so I took the month off. August was chocolate cookies, so not much more challenging, but delicious so I made them anyway.

2010 - Day 221

I have become embarrassingly addicted to online tetris. Especially since they came up with the arcade version where you play against other people. Tetrisfriends.com is pretty amazing, but watch out!

2010 - Day 220

I stood in line for lunch today. I just couldn't resist because Shake Shack is so delicious! I even ended up getting a free coffee shake that they made on accident, so that was awesome. Now I am super full with 2 1/2 hours of work left. But worse things could happen.

2010 - Day 219

My face gets super red when I run. I swear my face looks like a tomato, even after walking home from the gym. This picture doesn't really show how bad it is, for the record.

2010 - Day 218

I got invited to a barbecue in Brooklyn, because as Jen said, "Oh Emily will come, she loves Brooklyn." I'm glad that I do love Brooklyn, because this barbecue was incredible. There was skirt steak, shrimp and fish made on the grill and then we made some amazing tacos. It was really a delicious meal and a lot of fun to meet some great people. Sunday afternoons doing nothing is really what makes the summer amazing.

2010 - Day 217

Jen's best friend from High School was in town this weekend and I was asked to help choose the place for dinner. So we ended up at a sushi place on the Upper Eastside. After dinner we decided to be "tame," so Sam and I just split a boot of beer.

2010 - Day 216

Akeli and I have found our new favorite place to go. This amazing spread only cost $11 and it was just as amazing as it looks. The bruschetta in the back is ricotta with truffle oil. How brilliant is that? After a LONG Friday at work a little adventure with Akeli was just what I needed.
