And so it begins...










The scorching hot humid NYC weather that is.  Wow Memorial Day you really brought summer this year!  This season for me represents a time when fleeing the city is necessary as often as possible, which is why we made our way upstate this past weekend.  There is so much more air!  Aside from breathing deeply, we relaxed a bunch, ate and drank, and made s'more cookies which were so good!  I will have to post the recipe.  It was really enjoyable, and too short, which weekends often are.  I'm looking forward to my next escape.

Weekend Wonders (Super Bowl Edition)






We trekked upstate this weekend for Super Bowl festivities since we don't have cable, and it's more fun with crazy foot ball fans anyway.  My Dad made enough paella to actually feed both  the Giants and the Patriots, and I contributed by concocting some over the top jalapeño poppers.   Boy were they spicy!!  Fun was had by all especially since a) the Giants won and b) Mike and I managed to win our pool (and we never win anything!)
