Day Date


Bless the Shake Shack!
After work today, both because it was great weather and because we were starving, I met Diddz for a little Shakin' and Shackin'.
In case you were wondering, they've opened a Shake Shack on the upper east side an equal distance between my house and Diddy's. For almost a year now, this has been the double edged sword in my life as both the epitome of my demise and one of my greatest pleasures.
Because I know just how to woo a lady, I brought Diddz (and I) a dark chocolate macaroon (of the French origin) from The Macaroon Cafe.

After the lovely date in our matching scrubs, Diddy banned me from the Shack for the next month... Is that any way to treat the person who quenched your week-long thirst for dark chocolate? You tell me.
AND
Now, without the 'Shack Burger' and fries, how will I get my weekly dose of vegetables?


On an unrelated note, exactly when will I realize that watching Dateline alone in my apt on a Friday night is unhealthy behavior for MANY reasons?!?!!
Good thing 'My Best Friend's Wedding' was discovered floating around the airwaves afterwards or a sleepless night this would be for me... this intro makes everything better!
(Brill!)

Love,

Cappuccinos and Macaroons

Today after work, I had Cole meet me (and Yari - my FAVE!!!) for a quick (and FREE) check up because he's got an irritating tooth issue (...yeah, those are technical terms).

Afterwards we stayed close by to grab lunch and a cappuccino at a small italian cafe on 5th Ave.

Earl was highly impressed with the foam design in his cappuccino...

So he ordered another just to see the 'Lion King' version. This is his 'Mufasa' face...
After we parted, I FINALLY went to Macaroon Cafe! I've been dying to try their macaroon-y creations and desperately trying to convince guests to go, but it's a hard sell when I've never been myself. Finally treating myself, I chose flavors: Dark Chocolate, Coconut Chocolate, Creme Brulee & Pumpkin... (and sampled 'Honey Lavender').

My fave? Def Dark Chocolate.
Partly because I LOVE dark chocolate and partly because it was painted with gold glittery sugar!
Who doesn't love sparkles?!
