TGIF!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

It's the dead of winter in NYC and I'm jealous of all the lovlies living (and visiting) CA who are basking in the sunshine right now. Yesterday I had to walk 1.5 miles to get to work in 20" of snow! It was insane. I was buddled up in a hat, mittens, scarf, and Hunter boots, so I was happy as a clam and the Park was stunning.

The clean, white snow doesn't last for long. Today (as I zoomed by on my usual bus route--thanks MTA for getting back on the road) it was already looking black and gross. But those moments yesterday were glorious--a true Winter Wonderland!

I've been bad about my cooking this week. Last night was out for sushi with friends, and previous nights were leftovers and a Lean Pocket--yum! This weekend I'm planning on doing a big trip to the grocery store (trips to the grocery store in NYC are abnormally BIG and exciting events) to load up on supplies for a week of home-made, warm meals! On the list...

-- A big pot of White Chili (http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/white_chili/)-- I hope it's as good as Beth's Chili recipe that she posted last night
-- Meatloaf-- to curb that craving
-- Chicken Tamale Casserole (http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000001854020)
-- Baked Chicken and Sweet Potato Fries-- inspired by Michi's post earlier this week!

Mmmmmm...now my mouth is watering. Tuesday, I'm dragging the boy on a NYC date night and I'm SO excited! I got 2 tickets to Jersey Boys on Broadway!!! When you live in NYC you never take advantage of all the shows out your backdoor, so I jumped on a 2 for 1 deal! I have heard great things about it and can't wait. Stay tuned for a full recap.

Leaving you with this image that I stumbled across. I couldn't agree more...




XOX,
Lou.
