Pretty Flowers

A new old hobby

I love to paint. Very rarely do I have the patience to follow through with it. Lately I've had the itch to be more creative. Here are two pieces that I just recently finished.

Super Bowl: gluttony edition

J & I decided we were going to do this Super Bowl our own way and just the two of us. We went shopping for all our favorites. We cooked and fixed everything we wanted and then proceeded to eat it. We look back on this day as a fun mistake. We overindulged while clever commercials and a super bowl shootout played in the background. What did we consume you ask? Let me give you the rundown.




1. A big vat of chili with cheese and fritos
2. Little smokies (nathan's little wieners smothered in KC masterpiece BBQ sauce)
3. Pinwheels
4. A meat, cheese, and olive platter
5. Smoked oysters and saltines
6. Guacamole and chips
7. Chili con queso and chips
8. Beer
9. Brownies

Food 1 - Us 0 was the final score.

Restaurant Week NYC

I live in NYC partly because it has the best food from any culture all in one melting pot of a place. Restaurant week allows patrons to book dinners at some of the best places in the city. These places provide a special restaurant week menu providing prix frixe lunches and dinners for a fair price.

J & I ventured to midtown east last friday for some restaurant week dining. We went to Maloney & Porcelli a well known steakhouse. We started with a wonderful bottle of chardonnay and some delicious appetizers. I had caramelized scallops and J had a wonderful squash ravioli. The signature 10 oz filet mignons came next. Absolutely perfect. Dessert followed and we split a chocolate cake along with a coconut cake.

Delicious.

My favorite captcha!

We can be cute sometimes.

One of our friends was caught singing... "Here's a story, of a lovely lady..."
