busy busy... where does the time go?

I can't believe it's been over a week since I have written on here, but with the busy schedule, the cold weather, and the fact that I don't have internet in my apartment, I guess I'm falling behind!

So let's see, what I have done since I have posted last?  Well besides the temperature dropping to a mere 7 degrees, and more exploring with my new camera, it's pretty much been the same as it always is. Oh and I tried a blood orange- they're delicious and colorful!



I read a new book; Open; An Autobiography by Andre Agassi, which in my opinion, if you are an Agassi fan or just a fan of tennis, by all means read it!  It was fantastic!! Not to mention the fact that this year he is being inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame! Sorry- guess I'm in a tennis mood with the Australian Open being on!  When the times match up, that's all I've been watching!!!

Last weekend, I traveled to midtown to check out PJ Clarke's and Lincoln Center.  A delicious restaurant, that Agassi had written about in his book.  Their focus is mainly on good burgers and delicious seafood! Yum!

This week was pretty uneventful in terms of getting out and seeing the city.  Last night I actually met up with Robyn in Park Slope for dinner at a place called Bogota Latin Bistro.  The restaurant was great; good spanish music, heavy influence on Colombian culture and phenomenal food!  I had some strawberry sangria and a traditional Columbian soup called Ajiaco.  Ajiaco is more like a stew, but it's pretty much a chicken and potato soup with a big hunk of corn on the cob in the middle.  It's made with 3 different kinds of potatoes and Columbian herbs and spices.  On the side it's comes with a mild cream, capers, cilantro and avocado for a refreshing, tasty addition and it also comes with a big serving of white rice to dunk into the delicious broth! It was the perfect, warm meal for a cold winter night!

I'll keep you all posted and updated on the week to come!! Hope you are all staying warm!!
