Misc. Monday

with Carissa at lowercase letters

one.

I had a great weekend! And I got to meet some new people, which was great! On Friday, Corey and I went to our favorite happy hour bar ($1 drinks) and met some people he works with. It monsooned through our dinner reservation so happy hour turned into happy two and a half hours. We grabbed some delicious sushi once the rain stopped and headed into Manhattan to meet up with a few of Corey’s other friends.

two.

There is an annual festival in New York. The name of it is Parked and it is a festival of food trucks of all different varieties.

Corey and I intended to check this out on Saturday. We headed to the Path, which runs on a bizarre schedule anyway on the weekends, only to be evacuated two stops away (in Jersey City not Manhattan) because of a police investigation of a suspicious package on our train. We then tried to take the ferry into New York but it wasn’t running. Finally, we gave up and ordered dinner in and spent a relaxing night with just the two of us.

three.

One of the great things about New York is that there is always a festival or special event of some kind. On Sunday, there was a Blues and Barbecue festival on Pier 54. One of Corey’s friends from work and his girlfriend joined us and it was a great time. One of the vendors had a sauce called “Carolina” which made me feel like I was home. 

four.

We walked through Highline Park yesterday. It is a park built on elevated railroad tracks. Halfway through there are vendors selling coffee, gelato, etc. and the water fountains and elevators play funny “public service” announcements when you use them. I thought this place was really neat.

Corey and I have cooking a lot lately. Sometimes I’ll cook a meal and sometimes he’ll cook a meal but my favorite is when we work together and both cook parts. Last Thursday we made a Mexican dinner. He cooked fajitas and I made Spanish rice and fresh guacamole. Yum! Do you ever cook with your significant other?

    Love cooking with Mr. C but sometimes we both like to have the kitchen to ourselves too! I've wanted to go to that park for a while- the idea of it is just so lovely!

    Sounds like a fun weekend!Chris and I cook together ALL the time! We've been cooking together ever since we started dating. We'd have a dinner and movie night, and we'd both have so much fun cooking together. Now that we're married it's no different 🙂
