24 January 2008

Hi Bunnies, I'm hooo-ooome [More:]
I'm back from a whistle-stop visit to the Big Apple, I had a wonderful time, even though it was sooo cooold. But I got snow boots! Sorels, too, for only $59.99 in the sales, so I had toasty warm feet.

I also made a trip to Town Shop, the awesomest bra shop in NY where I got the sports bra I'd been after, and I stocked up on some Kiehl's products which are half the price they are at home.

And I ate some amazing food. I had the Waz-za at Norma's, Portuguese food at Pao!, fantastic banana cream pie at Mama's, the tenderest roast lamb at Stamatis, an incredible cheeseburger at Paul's, and the best panelles and cannoli in town at Ferdinando's Focacceria.

The flights there and back were wonderful - on each trip I had a centre row to myself so could stretch out and sleep. And I took my own food on the plane - fruit - so I had nice things to eat instead of microwaved mystery meat.

It was great to catch up with people and finally to meet my secret crush, Eideteker, but tomorrow it's back to reality and the office. And back on my diet. Booo!
Yaaaaaaaaaaay glad you had a lovely trip!!!

Oh, and I nearly forgot Shopsins, where I had a burrito cheese melt.

And no, I although I had five seats on the plane home, I didn't actually need that many, despite the litany of face-stuffing detailed above.

Don't buy for TPS! We'll just find it coming out her dog's butt.
Think of the community, TPS. For shame.
Or at least a love shack.
La la love shack.

Yay for good trips! Boo for me always rushing off elsewhere when you're in town. Yay for lots of good food!

It's always great to see you, Jan, even if it's just for a short time.

I took hundreds of pictures (mostly of food!) which I'll upload to Flickr at the weekend.

Speaking of secret crush, the gf says you're ok to move into the back bedroom in the new apartment. She didn't exactly say "Can we keep her?" but the implication was there.

PS You're even awesomer in person than I'd anticipated. Please lets do this again soon.

re: the mystery meat, pre-order the vegetarian Asian food if you travel with BA. It's tasty and probably less poisonous

I travel with American Airlines, matteo. The airlines all used to do 'fruit plate' meals, but they've stopped doing them as they're expensive to the airlines because they have to be prepared fresh that morning and can't be cook/chilled like the hot meals.

So, it looks like last trip was about HMS and this trip was about food, huh?

Er ... not quite, danf. I had to work the food off somehow.
