Tried my hand at making a large ice cube using a plastic container. The awkward rectangular shape made it tough to drink so I tried chopping the ice block with a knife and it gave me a nice cube-ish shape. Feels deluxe drinking bourbon like this.
A nice and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday this year. Mel's parent and Reggie came over for dinner (you can see me and Mel's dad passed out after dinner). On Friday, caught up with old high school friends at a party in Edison. On Saturday, played in a fun tackle football game - Mel took some video footage (http://vimeo.com/user990348). And this morning, had a wonderful breakfast prepared by Mel. Yum.
Spent a week in Venice mixing work and play. Highlights included nighttime hiking, k-town karaoke, beach wiffle ball, volleyball in the dark, ancient ginger chicken noodle soup, danger dogs, Stanford rocking USC, Pacquiao-Cotto, bball, and more.
Took a nice Monday morning bike ride to DUMBO where I stopped by the French bakery Almondine. I got myself some macaroons, pain au chocolat, an eclair, and a croissant. They were super tasty, especially the macaroons, which just melted away in my mouth and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet.
One of the best deals around - all dishes are under $15 and in the $10- $11 range and include coffee and an alcoholic drink (mimosa, Bellini, or sparkling wine) at no extra cost. Our meal for two with a short stack of pancakes on the side was less than $30 before tip. Oh, and did I mention that the food is awesome?
Had a nice week in South Hero, Vermont. Got a good amount of work done and also managed to take a daytrip to Montreal where we ate our brains out and also had some luck with roulette. In Vermont, we chopped wood for our fireplace, played touch football and tennis, rode the bike on the island railway trail (again), attended Applefest, ate ridiculous amounts of meat and junk food, drank beer with only our left hands, and even tried our hand at being plumbers (we failed). Will miss the gorgeous lake view and peaceful quiet, but looking forward to warmer nights and being reunited with Kitty and Chocolate.
Had a nice time checking out Atlantic Antic with Kitty this afternoon. The Atlantic Antic is Brooklyn's largest street fair and it happens once a year. The weather was perfect and I didn't feel too uncomfortable walking among large crowds. Had arepas, oysters, and chocolate-covered keylime pie along the way. Sixpoint Atlantic Antic Amber was tasty, too. Also checked out vintage NYC buses that were on display courtesy of the New York Transit Museum. Also saw this cool desk that transforms into a bench.
Rode my bike to Bushwick and met with Barrel team members for beers and lots of pizzas. Roberta's grows a lot of its own ingredients. Really fresh and tasty.
