I go through hard core phases. I'll get in the mood for something and it is all I'll be in the mood for until, well, until I'm in the mood for something else. I feel like I am really always forming crushes on something or other.
Our early dinner last night at Usagi Ya
Goyoza, miso soup, one of the chef's choice sushi plates, snowballs (little balls of rice topped with white tuna, white truffle sauce and scallions) and unagi jalapeno tempura for dessert. Yum!!!
Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins
I slather this on my face every night before bed; it is really thick and saturates my face so that I still feel moisturized when I wake up.
Community (On NBC, Thursday)
I adore Joel McHale, he's been on my "list" as long as I can remember. His new show is so stupid and so funny- Josh and I watch it before anything else on the DVR.
Lady Gaga
I'm a little late to the party on this one, and in fact Lady Gaga's appearance on SNL a few months ago really confused me. This new video completely won me over though. I keep watching it over and over and over. I know Josh would actually like me to knock it off.
My 401-k
So, my investment portfolio is in the crapper just like the rest of America, but my 401-k actually performed well. Looking at my recent statement makes me feel remarkably grown-up, despite the fact that I just this week got around to opening up a savings account independent of my checking account.
Homemade Ginger Syrup
For cocktails and homemade sodas. I'm really trying to eliminate all things high fructose corn syrup from my life. With that as my excuse (see, it's healthy!) I made ginger syrup by thinly slicing a huge knob of ginger and boiling it in 1 cup sugar and 2 cups water. Once that mixture has thickened I turned the heat off and let it steep for an hour or so before straining out the ginger pieces. I like it served with vodka, lime and soda water; like a Moscow Mule. The bonus is that the ginger pieces once strained and rolled in some sugar granules are exactly like expensive ginger candy. Oh, and the whole thing costs about three bucks.
This Mara Hoffman Dress
It should be arriving any day, now I just need an excuse to wear it!
