July 21, 2011 - Gelato Memories

Tom and I went to Italy with his sister and niece last July and had a fantastic vacation. We saw beautiful sights, ate incredible meals and just had a lot of fun in general. And one of my favorite memories is thinking about the countless number of gelato places we tried (and we tried MANY,) including Grom - a popular chain in many cities. We went to the Grom in Sienna & I remember thinking it was one of the best (if not the best) from the entire trip. BUT... I didn't know until a couple months ago that there was a Grom in NYC!! And it's walking distance from my office.

I've resisted stopping so far because daily gelato runs on vacation are great - but in real life they could be trouble.

Hucky let me take pictures of him with Flower Baby on his head... awwwwwww!

July 19, 2011 - A Great Fortune!

Remember when I told you about the dumb fortunes I seem to get all the time? Well, today I got a great one... especially considering today is the day my love life became famous ;) !

July 18, 2011 - Mesa Grill

I caught up with my friends Deb & Anthony for lunch at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. We all took advantage of the special restaurant week menu and I had the following:
1) Cod Fish Cakes
2) Cornmeal Crusted Chile Relleno (pictured)
3) Mexican Chocolate Pudding
It was all delicious - the food and the company!

I caught Hucky taking a little nap in one of his favorite spots...

July 16, 2011 - Foxy & Sneaky (#4)

Foxy spotted a kitty hanging out in the very back corner of our yard and chased it behind the garage. There are lots of cats in the neighborhood and I've named all the ones that look like this Sneaky (in honor of the one that snuck into the house and lived in the basement for a few days our first winter.) I have no idea how many individual "Sneakys" there really have been in the past 3 years, but 4 seems about right.

July 15, 2011 - We Have A Floor!

Work continues to progress on the bathroom, and the new floor looks fantastic. It feels like we are getting very close!
