Monday Musings

Cooking

 

  • Rainy days are much more fun when they’re warm.
  • I’m getting pretty fast at writing psych reports, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
  • Is it weird that grocery shopping gives me a rush?
  • I’m eating heart to heart cereal now, and it’s such an interesting invention. I wonder if there’s any story behind the creation of cereal.
  • Has anyone been to Atlantic city? Matt and I might be making a stop there for a night.
  • Last night was the second time I’ve made this lovely blue cheese and date stuffed pork tenderloin by Kath, accompanied by some more-delicious-than-usual asparagus with EVOO and parmesan. Sure made the evening feel fancy.

  • Remind me to bake more often.
  • I have my 2nd to last graduate class EVER tonight!!!!!!!
  • Happy 25th birthday to [one of] my college roomies, Liz – you can officially start your quarter life crisis now:)

    Today is national cereal day, so what better time to wonder about it! I’m from New York so I’ve been to Atlantic City a couple of times. Honestly, I’d wait until the weather is good because the boardwalk/beach is a draw for me. There are good outlets and obviously plenty of casinos!

      Any hotel recommendations? The Tropicana, Harrahs, and Taj Marina are all really cheap on weeknights….

        Harrahs is one of the newer hotels and not on the AC “strip” but they are all pretty nice.

    AC is nice in the spring-time. There is an outdoor outlet mall, a swanky mall on the boardwalk (upper level of the mall has nice restaurants overlooking the ocean), and a Carmine’s a.k.a the BEST Italian restaurant.

    I’m from NJ and make it down to AC every now and then. I’d most definitely stay at Harrah’s, it’s a really nice hotel.
