Finishing two 70,000 word projects this week has me feeling like woah.<\/p>\n
A relatively busy week of food.\u00a0 On Sunday, I stopped by MMI to finally (!!!) purchase Side Hustle<\/a>‘s hard seltzer (a perfect drink for when you want something low calorie\/low sugar).\u00a0 I also stopped by Kaffe Bloom<\/a> with friend and travel journalist Sarah.\u00a0 We liked the food (and the pricing) and had our first taste of Bingsoo, a Korean shaved ice dish, which was perfect for a hot day. Afterward, I picked up a few specialty items from 1004 Gourmet. I also finally made it for an overdue visit to LPM<\/a>, which continues to be deliciously and stylishly consistent.<\/p>\n Some goodies arrived at the house, including the Sundae Kit from 3 Fils<\/a>, as well as Levantine vegetarian food from newly launched Dayma<\/a>. That’s not all, we also received Cheese On Board<\/a> on Thursday and some delicious Italian biscuits from Casinetto (my affiliate link is still active if you’re interested<\/a>). We also placed an order with the always reliable Carnistore.<\/p>\n Brunch was canceled for today, but honestly, I think it was the right decision and applaud the location for acting professionally and responsibly. Personally, I had been struggling with the decision to go to brunch all week, honestly, it just doesn’t feel like the right time.<\/p>\n Links, please?<\/p>\n Looking ahead, next week is Hubs’ birthday!\u00a0 It’s a bit bittersweet, as we usually travel, but this year we’ll focus on a bit of mindfulness.\u00a0 I’m considering booking the day package at Caesar’s, but it might just be grilling steaks and a nice bottle of wine at home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finishing two 70,000 word projects this week has me feeling like woah.
