This week, and other stuff

A few days ago, Tara let me know about a new-ish bakery - Cadeaux - that we need to check out.  While googling reviews for it, I came across a fantastically-inpiring local blog -  the culinary adventures of a greedy guts - and now have a much longer list of restaurants to visit, as well as a resolve to have brunch at West.

At knit night on Thursday, there was talk of making your own ginger beer (apparently very easy), and installing an ipad mount above the sink to make dish washing enjoyable (the best reason for getting an ipad that I've heard).  Tara made an amazing beet dip.

Yesterday after work, Elisa and I went for a drink at  the Gerard Lounge in the Sutton Place Hotel.  It was pleasingly quiet and dark and full of old people.  The complimentary snack consisted of addictive Japanese rice crackers.  It makes me think that old-school hotel bars are where it's at. 

On a completely different note, someone suggested a little while back that I get on Banana Republic's mailing list.  If you like their clothes, please know that you if you subscribe will constantly get coupons in your inbox for 30-40% off their merchandise.  It makes me wonder - why would anyone pay full price there?

And finally, I dare you to listen to Blue Moon and not feel better for having done so.
