cant wait for spring!

Did I mention Tyler spoiled me for Christmas??? 






Sad Christmas tree

We had our Christmas tree since I think the first week in December! Which must mean we're getting older and wiser, because usually we are scrambling the week, or eve! of Christmas to get one at a rock bottom price. But this year we found the loveliest tree and were sad to see it go. It didnt even look that bad, and looked even bigger once on the sidewalk!

train set

Tyler got a beer making kit for Christmas from his folks. A great surprise! He was playing with it that evening at home, like an 8 year old with a new train set. Thus the title. I mean, everything was out of the box, all over the floor and he was inspecting each part with care. 

And then the beer making began! This is a chocolate stout with orange bitters.

Brunch

1st weekend out after the holiday break. We took a ride on the subway, and i think to our mutal surprise, ran off the train at central. Not before seeing this little wookie, who, really, looks a bit like tyler, or vise versa. 

kinda lovin' this window display at A&C. I need to go in there more often.
              

We ended up at ZuZu. We were gonna go in, we weren't gonna go in... Finally! I saw the "Kathy Bates" breakfast on the menu outside, and was pretty much sold.

Strange little carroty ginger cocktail. 
It's like adding vodka to a V8

Tyler's drink had Blue Moon
in it and some other stuff


The Kathy Bates - 
Poached Eggs, over Fried Green Tomatoes
on an English Muffin, and the best home
fries I've ever had. Because I ate all of them.
And I hate homefries and usually eat only
one or two to be polite. 


On our walk back to train. Love this!
