Friday I got off the train to snow (stop it, March), unpacked grocery delivery with the speed of light, rushed off to a school play our niece was in, and had a late dinner at Metro Diner in Bensalem. The BLT was good but I do not recommend the place. The original location in Jacksonville, FL, was on Triple D but this location is a dive not in a good way.
Saturday we spent the day in New York City, specifically to do three things:
1) Visit the 9/11 Memorial. We will definitely return to do the Museum.
2) Walk the Brooklyn Bridge. No, YOU picked the coldest day in months to do this. We were actually hot at the top of the bridge, but walking back into the wind, man...when I washed my face Saturday night it looked like hell from the windburn. A really cool experience though and I loved all the graffiti and stickers along the way as well as the views of Lady Liberty.
We walked a little through Tribeca before hopping on the subway Uptown and grabbing a quick slice.
3) Book of Mormon matinee. We met Amanda, Frank, Christa, and Jeff for the show. Freaking hilarious. I loved it.
We had dinner after at E&E Grill House directly across the street from the theater and it was excellent. Bundled off in a cab and caught the 7:03 home. Thanks to Christa for securing the tickets and finding the restaurant!
Sunday morning brainstorming meeting with a local active in the political scene and some progressive friends followed by a trip to Sam's with the rest of Northeast Philadelphia.
Weekly food prep: breakfast is PB and J on english muffins; lunch is greek bowls (whole wheat orzo, chicken marinated in greek dressing and baked, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, kalamata olives and tzatziki sauce); snacks are yogurt, mangoes, and strawberries; dinner is pork with sauerkraut and cooked carrots (shown here before baking) and salmon with steamed veg.

Sunday afternoon I peaced the fuck out. I just needed to sit around and do nothing and talk to no one except my Dad to plan a shore project. Aside from laundry and getting my 40/40 done in the living room, that's what I did, nothing. MFD was out showing properties and it was blissfully silent. Friday night I finished Perfectly Undone and started The Loving Husband, so I spent a lot of the afternoon reading that.
Woo! Last weekend with a closed up shore house. Solid birthday month start.
How was yours?
