2010 - Day 118

Yummy! The April dessert of the month was an orange cheesecake with raspberry drizzle. I used my birthday gift card from Grandma to finally purchase a spring form pan. This recipe was brilliant and used orange juice to substitute for a little of the sugar. This made the cake a little less dense and it was another huge success at work.

2010 - Day 117

Akeli has started a new job where she is working 1st shift once again. So we meet in the West Village for happy hour and dinner. I picked a place called Corner Bistro on Jane Street. It was pretty fantastic, they only sold burgers, grilled cheese and french fries. We enjoyed ourselves and there was a huge line on our way out.

2010 - Day 116

The casket from today's funeral was brought in a horse drawn carriage. This was something worth taking a picture of, so here you go.

2010 - Day 115

I love this picture. After having a productive morning. I almost made an espresso machine work. Kumi made a wonderful brunch. Amanda graded a ton of papers. We all headed down to the local reservoir for a walk. It was a beautiful spring day. Here is Kumi and Amanda in their "romantic shot."

2010 - Day 114

Amanda and I headed to Boston on Saturday for a total trip of about 28 hours. Kumi was house sitting and we went to visit her and keep her company. You would think making a 24 hour visit would be rushed. However, I think all three of us thought it was more relaxing to go for a shorter time. We totally regressed to childhood and played board games, did puzzles and jumped on the trampoline. It was amazing. Here is my completed puzzle. I got a little help from the girls after I finished the edges!

2010 - Day 113

To celebrate the start of the Tribeca Film Festival, Jen and I headed down to the world financial center for a "drive in" movie. We saw the movie, Big, with Tom Hanks. It had been awhile since either of us had seen it, and it was interesting to see it from a different point of view. The setting was pretty gorgeous as well.

2010 - Day 112

Today was Earth Day! So in celebration I went down to Murry Hill to have margaritas with Katie. I walked home to enjoy the nice spring weather and thought that the Empire State building looked cool all dressed up for Earth Day.
