Dinner at New World Bistro
Friday marked four years from when Chris and I went out on our first date! We decided to celebrate with dinner at one of our favorites, New World Bistro Bar on Delaware Avenue. You must order a bottle of wine when celebrating something, no? For an appetizer I got the street-style calamari, and let me tell you it was one of the best I’ve tried! The sauce was amazing. For dinner I went with the jerk chicken meal, since its supposed to be one of their best dishes. The seasonings on the kale and beans were a little bit too spicy for me, but the chicken was delicious! I…

Easter Brunch at New World Bistro
Hope everyone had a nice holiday! I actually had to get some groceries yesterday morning and while I was at Trader Joe’s, I picked up some Easter Lilies. So pretty. Chris and I also had brunch plans for Easter at New World Bistro, one of our favorite places. (My favorite restaurant!) When we saw they were having an Easter brunch buffet, we were all for it. Usually I spend Easter with my parents, but they are still living it up in Florida, so it was just Chris and I. They had: home made sausage, bacon, eggs, shrimp and grits, veggie hash, mac and cheese, soy chorizo, yogurt and fruit, kale…

Another New World Rave Review
Good morning! Chris and I are almost settled into our new place–still have some boxes to get rid of and I still have to hang up my picture frames–but other than that it’s almost ready! As soon as it looks normal I’ll post some pictures for you all. I’m in love with the apartment! And its great having someone to come to, too. 🙂 Sunday night we cooked dinner in our new kitchen for Chris’ parents. (They were here from Pittsburgh to help him move.) But Saturday night we all went out to dinner in Albany–Chris and I brought them to New World Bistro, our favorite restaurant here. And yes,…

Mohawk Hudson River Half Marathon
The day finally arrived! Today, 10.10.10, was the day I ran my first half marathon! I woke up super early this morning at 5:45AM to eat breakfast, which was two whole grain waffles topped with almond butter and cherry butter. These held me over pretty well. I got dropped off at the start at 7:30AM. Despite the photo, I was FREEZING. It was like 35 degrees this morning, no lie. I had worn an oversized sweatshirt to throw away once I got warmed up, but I took it off for the picture! 😉 After waiting around and freezing my butt off, the race finally started at 8:30AM sharp. And off…
