Wow. We went to AppleWood last night for dinner and I'm still thinking about it. We got the Tasting Menu with Wine pairings and it was out of this world. We had this amazing Brut with the first course which I need to find. Its from a California winery called "Wycliff." I thought they said Wyclef - so I've been Googling and getting nothing but results on Wyclef Jean. I found bottles of the champagne online for $5! Time to Case up! Too bad they won't ship to NY unless you are a restaurant or a liquor store. Its honestly the best (cheap - a Ernest and Gallo product!) Brut I have had. And I've had my share of cheap ass Brut.
So I read not ONE but TWO articles on Bedbugs on the NY Times today. The first article was about buying second hand and vintage clothes/furniture. The overall consensus of the article was that it was generally "OK" to buy second hand, but to be cautious. This scared the shit out of me, since I LOVE to thrift store shop and LIVE to find Vintage goods. I haven't bought anything second hand since we've been here however.
The second article was out right scary. Literally skin crawling. Danny and I have developed a phobia of Bedbugs (having come from a environment that was entirely void of bedbugs - for states and states). I had to Google bedbug bites when I first arrived here in NY, as I had amassed a number of bites on my legs. We were able to deduct that they were not, in fact, bedbug bites - but mosquito bites. (I had been out in our garden cleaning up brush and must have hit a swarm of those blood suckers) But still we are nervous Nellies about Bedbugs.
So - what did I just go and do? I bought some second hand stuff around the corner at a childrens resale shop. Swimtrunks for Max (in case we go upstate this weekend), a summer hat and some super cute winter booties. Yes, I'm living life on the end, I tell you.
Max is up! Madre out...ttys
