I didn't get this website at first...

But now I think it's hilarious: http://www.whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com/index.php

Why am I not surprised??

As soon as I saw the title, I knew my ferry would be in there: The Most Beautiful Ferry Rides in the U.S.

Brooklyn Flea!

This weekend was the first weekend the Brooklyn Flea moved outside! We went to explore, although I didn't really do my research and so when we went on Sunday, most of the market was still inside (its fully outside on Saturdays). We bought raspberry jam, chamomile soap, and an old frame for a painting I bought in Russia...two years ago.

We also went for the food but made the mistake of buying the first food we saw - my pain au chocolate was delish but I wish I had waited for some of the other treats!

I killed my first cockroach today. Luckily it was not actually in the apartment, but out in the hallway. It was relatively harmless because it was stuck on its back, but its wiggling antenna freaked me out nonetheless. I knew if I did not kill it then, it would find its way into my apartment and multiply and force me to move out, but I really hope I never have to do that again.

And let me note that Joey did not help, but hid in the apartment.

Dinner at Symposium

I've been meaning to go to Symposium for months, essentially ever since I got home from my trip to Greece last September, and we finally went last night. It has a great reputation and is probably one of the only restaurants in the neighborhood that is rated by Zagat. The atmosphere was cute and the staff extremely friendly - however, I have to be honest and say that Westside Market does a waaay better moussaka. That might normally be considered an insult, but Westside Market really does make amazing moussaka. Also, the greek salad was served with balsamic vinegar which I find odd, as I never once saw balsamic vinegar the entire three weeks I was in Greece, but maybe I was missing something? The sangria was good though.

Can't wait for Chelsea!

There is a great article in the New York Times today about Chelsea Handler, possibly the funniest person on earth. Who knew Chuy Bravo was a former porn store? I have her latest book on hold for me at the library and can't wait to see her when she come to NYC in May.

Seattle time

I'm in Seattle for a few days to hang out with my mom while she recuperates from surgery, and to go to a wedding. Seattle is at its best in the summer and fall but here's hoping for some good weather while I'm home!
