My Europe trip is looming only 9 days away, and I have so much to do in Boston to prepare, but I just don't have it. I also would like to be home to be closer to my girlfriend about to have a baby! It's sooooooo exciting! She and I at least got to have breakfast yesterday morning. We met up at Tory Row in Harvard Square, and turns out they have quite an impressive breakfast menu! I loved my fancy personal broccoli frittata, it was a great way to start off a busy day of errands and unpacking/repacking.
I also got my first 30th birthday present!!! I don't have a picture of it with me, so I'll keep you all in suspense a little while longer. ;)
My new roommate is moving in this weekend while i am away, so this morning I had to prep the whole apartment for her arrival, and the time went by so quickly before i knew it I was at the airport at noon without having a morsel all day! Naughty!!
I actually managed to find something halfway decent to eat in the terminal... Starbucks makes yummy yogurts with fruit and granola. I rounded the meal out with a banana and an unseen string cheese. Thank goodness for a giant Fiji water to last me through the flight, too. Singing the day after a flight is difficult enough without adding dehydration into the ordeal!
My generous host, a fellow singer and also talented director, podcaster, and foodie, picked me up from the airport in the late afternoon and brought me directly to Urban Belly for a late lunchie/early dindin. Cute logo, huh?
This chic little Asian-inspired restaurant features noodle soups, dumplings, and fried rice with delectable combinations, like pork belly and eggplant! I've never had pork belly (although I've seen a fair share of it on Top Chef) so I was open to trying everything my buddy recommended.
Of course, it was all yummy. The eggplant is so delicious, we had to get it as a side, as well!
But, the broth of the noodle soup was especially comforting. yum! I can't figure out links on this BlogPress app, but go to www.urbanbellychicago.com to check it out!
After have an entertaining evening watching my host podcast live with his colleage in the dining room, we settled in for a snack and trashy tv sesh. Curious about opera? Go to www.operanowpodcast.com and listen to these guys!
Anyhoo, we enjoyed yummy herbal tea from Trader Joe's and chocolate animal crackers during the latest Real Housewives D.C. LOVE the pig tray, Oliver!!!!
D.C is getting sooooooo juicy! I was shrieking at the last couple minutes when the drama at the table got so fierce and Michaele finally said something other than "wow, i know it's so fun!" or "I LOVE you!!" and what the $&#! does Tareq have to do with Mary's 23 year old daughter??
I also may have attacked some leftovers... Does that happen to anyone else besides me? You eat an early dinner, take home a doggie-bag, and somehow it doesn't make it to lunch the next day? =]
