Day 285: Taking it all in

I had some alone time in the apartment today. The sun was softly lighting the apartment so I had to take advantage of the light. I took the time out to be thankful for all that we have. When things get busy or routine, just take a step back to take it all in. I said a quick "Thank You" prayer and continued my day.

Side Note: We had a very productive night/morning. We stayed up until 6am designing logos and labels for our businesses. We are one step closer!

Day 284: Wunderkammer

Two co-workers and I wandered off to a curious little shop in the city. it's an interesting shop as you can see from the pictures above . We quickly found what we needed, but we couldn't help look around. We took a look at the old science equipment, stuffed animals, dinosaur teeth & fur, taxonomy pieces, and other funky stuff. We lost track of time and had to quickly get back to work. 

Oh.. and we hosted another successful Friday BBQ!

Day 283: 8 Glasses of Water

Have you tried drinking 8 glasses of water a day? It's not as easy as it sounds but it has to be done.  I'll admit that I don't reach 8 glasses every day but I'm working my way up. Adonis is much better at drinking at least 8 glasses a day. I just hate all the trips to the bathroom. Luckily we have a water filter faucet at work so at least I don't have to pay for the water.

Day 282: Chile Relleno Fail

Roasting off the skin

I love Chile Relleno and I finally tried to make this delicious dish.  It's definitely more complicated than I thought it would be. There were plenty of factors that contributed to the failure of this first attempt lol. First of all, I asked Adonis to get the wrong type of chile. Secondly, I'm not good at frying. I was doing well until the last step (which was frying the chile/pepper).  That's when Adonis stepped in to save me. 

This won't be the last time I make Chile Relleno. I shall be victorious! 

Day 281: Missing Friends

I miss Tasha!

Our departure date is getting closer and closer.  It's actually right around the corner for Adonis. I'm still missing family and friends.  This Coke campaign isn't making it any easier.

Day 280: Veggies ONLY

After that ridiculous amount of meat we ate last night, we needed a break.  Adonis made a flavorful veggies-only dinner: Corn, steamed broccoli w/ cheese sauce, cucumber and tomato vinaigrette, and roasted eggplant.

Day 279: Steer

We met friends for dinner at Steer.  It's a steakhouse on Chapel St. This place was pricey! Buuuut, the food was deeeeeeelicious and the drinks were on point.  Before we ordered the waiter came out with a slab o' meat. It was the first time I saw anything like it. It was kinda weird to see the raw meat on display but it made it easier to order. Yum, Yum, double Yum, Yum!

Oh, and to our surprise, they served Hawthorn Beer! Remember our first post about them??
