plane snacks and reviews

You KNOW I packed tons of GOODIES for my 14 hours day of traveling… Sammie #1 (TJs hummus, dried cranz, and spin on the end piece of bread) Sammie #2 (the same HLC as above, minus the heel piece) Above: 2 HLC sandos, dried cranz, edamame, apricot Clif bar, blueberry crisp Clif bar Below: dried fruit mix, TJs spiced chai tea, plum (unpictured apple) Sunday AM: Rain. BART. Checked in. Sprinted across SFO like I was trying to qualify for London 2012. Boarded.  Taxi-ed on the runway for 30 hours.  Arrived in Chi-town. Sunday PM:… Read more >

bright lights, long nights

…party ‘til the sun is rising, high rise, overtime, working ‘til the morning shine.  I feel on TOP OF THE WORLD!  Top of the world! 🙂 In addition to making me feel like a true New Yorker, that song pumps me up (as most PCD song do)!  Guilty pleasure, fasho. AM coffee.  BTW, before I forget, thank SO MUCH for all the feedback on my last post.  You guys are the sweetest and the most thoughtful and it really makes my day when I get flooded with comments of support.  It’s so nice to know… Read more >

Good morning upper west siders

Yeah, too bad I don’t live on the East side…then I’d be a true gossip girl.  Riiiiight.   I was in a barista kind of mood this morning 😀 Froth machine + silk + truvia + cinn = the best coffee EVER! Even better?  I had the day off, AGAIN!  Plus I am going home on Thursday for a girlfriend’s bridal shower/bachelorette weekend, so I’m beyond excited.  California sunshine here I come… PB Puffins and an apple to get the day off right.  Somehow I wound up talking on the phone (mostly with my mom)… Read more >

i heart fabio

WHAT am I going to do now that Top Chef is over? I miss Padma and Tom already 🙁 To answer a few questions I got last post about my sushi skillz: I do have a sushi making kit that I got from Kyle a few years ago. It was a surprise anniversary present (I swear, I have THE most thoughtful BF). Since we lived in San Francisco at the time, we got tons of fresh stuff at the market in the Ferry Building (on of my fave places) and then we got even more… Read more >

march, china, pajama party

March is here. In honor of that: Out with the old, in with the new… No more gold coast blend (you will not be missed). House blend, welcome home, I love you! So far March SUCKS. I can’t believe it’s STILL snowing! Grrr. 8-10 inches in one day is too much? (that’s what she said) But, seriously, I’m really annoyed with the East Coast. To make matters worse, my parents are in Hawaii for, like, the 9th time this year, and keep texting me pics of gorgeous sunsets and luaus. Ugh. Ok, I’ll stop the… Read more >
