And Goodbye, Brogues! My shoes gave up on me. This is my last photo of them.
(Not too sad, though, because I have sparkly new gold ones. :P)
50-degree weather, pumpkins everywhere and, because it’s in season, kale on sale!
By the way,YOU need to read this article: Kale is the New Beef!
And because I feel deprived (from real tats), I have this new habit of spotting cool tattoos on my classmates.
Casette tape tatt in honor of her friend
Casette tape tatt in honor of her friendSaw another one on my Knife Skills classmate that said “imagine” in a typewriter font. LOVE!
I wasn’t able to take a photo of that, so here’s one from Strawberry Fields (which is not really a field) in Central Park:
See, told ya, pumpkins everywhere.
My in-laws were in town so I took them to Brunch at Balthazar’s in SoHo. The place was PACKED on a weekday. In my book, restaurants that are open for breakfast get extra yum points.
I sinned and went across to Sur La Table after. You know how new moms are so zoned into baby stuff, almost forgetting to shop for themselves? Well, that’s exactly how I feel about Pipino.
Aside from the random things I bought (like natural food coloring and organic extracts), I got a bunch of these mini cupcake tins. I put the regular sized cupcake liner (please excuse Dora & her pet, hehehe) so you can see how tiny the diameter is. They’re be perfect for bite-sized treats. I’m making some for my friend’s wedding next weekend!
Madison Square Park is so close to my school & it’s my favorite lunch/dinner place now!
AsiaDog is here, and so is a yummy Hong Kong Food Stall. Lotsa veggie options. And it’s right outside Eataly. I get so overwhelmed inside Eataly, so I’m happy this place is here. It’s a welcome break from my usual vegan sandwiches from Terri’s. Although that place deserves a post on its own, because with cooking school taking so much of my time right now, that place makes quick healthy delicious mealtime possible. And that is why I love it. 🙂
Beautiful and fragrant teas and spices in one stall at MSP.
It’s just funny how the lady selling has a 10-foot long stick with a spoon at the end, and scoops up teas, sorta shoving it in your face. At least they smell good. haha
My comfort junk food in the city: a vegan hotdog from Crif Dogs.
Random cuteness: my nephew Hoops.
He loves putting things in his pocket. On the left, he’s stuffing a leaf that he ‘tore’ from the plant. On the right are his prized possessions of the day: wooden train cars, a green crayon, a piece of wood, and a rock. Whhhhaaaaa???!! Haha. He’s so cute!!!! Loved spending all that time with him in SF and Napa.
And another random thing: I dunno what it is with the weather, but I’m loving Pistachios right now!!
Peanut Butter – Pistachio Cream!! AAhhh!! Better than Nutella, I tell ya!!! 😛
