Oysters and a Bachelorette in New Orleans

My best friend Avani was celebrating her bachelorette in New Orleans. BEIGNETS! OYSTERS! PO'BOYS! Oh, and bachelorette shenanigans too.

In earth shattering news, I think I've converted from raw oysters to broiled oysters, all thanks to New Orleans. Details to follow below!

Hopping Across the Pond

Time to go to London to play with my friends! The last time I was in London was in 2005, when I was studying abroad. My student visa happened to be the first stamp I received in my grown up passport. And now that my passport is due for renewal, this stamp at Heathrow would be my last one in this passport. #memories #nostalgia.

It is March and I am wearing shorts!

I went to LA the first weekend in March to visit Asmi. It was approximately 4pm PST on a Friday, and I was wearing shorts on the beach and riding the ferris wheel (you know, the one that was in the OC). Later that week, back in NYC, there was a blizzard. #unfair.

Perfect Grilled Cheese

Happy March! Does this mean it is spring yet?

Recently, I went to a cool lecture on the history of sandwiches, put on by the Masters of Social Gastronomy.  The presenters, Sarah Lohman of Four Pound Flour, and Jonathan Soma delved into how the sandwich came to be, what creates the subway smell, and, most importantly, the best way to make a grilled cheese sandwich.

Sin City

Isn't there a saying "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Well, not when it comes to gluttonous food options and smartphone pictures. Yay! I was flying to Vegas for an impossibly huge reunion with my gang of friends.

I'm on blog lovin!

Heart Shaped Scones

Just in time for Valentine's Day!

Mai, Paul and I went to Stratton in early December. We were upgraded to a amazing condo with a hot tub, sauna, and full kitchen and our wheels quickly began turning. Mai thought, "what if I celebrated my birthday with a ski weekend! We could get one or two condos, and make mulled wine, fondue, slutty brownies, and dinner!" And, I am all about apres ski so I was 100% in.

Fast forward to February, and that is exactly what we did! We went up to Killington and rented two condos. Mai's friend Aurora graciously volunteered to serve as head chef for us all weekend (another post on this to come!). I brought slutty brownies and heart shaped scones (of course). We had a great time skiing, eating, and I even picked up a pair of pink skis!
