Well the vacation is officially over:( Although I’m mostly sad, I must say, I’m a little bit glad after twelve days of travel. I missed my apartment! I also haven’t worked out since last Wednesday, so I’m craving a little sweat. The one thing I’m not excited about at all is getting up at 6:40 to go to my internship. This time yesterday, I was just finishing up a lovely dinner, and this time tonight, I’m already late for bed.…

Matt and I had a glorious day roaming the streets of New York. I had the best chai latte of my life and then we had the experience of tasting (and buying) cheese at Murray’s cheese shop. We met up with my college bffs around 7 for an awesome spread of appetizers put on by my friend Liz. The cheese we bought at Murray’s was very flavorful and unique: the tickler cheddar and a stinky orange-rind brie. I ate…
I heart Turkish food… and spicy reds and great friends:) Off to get a chai latte and explore Greenwich village before getting ready for an apartment gathering this evening. Happy New Year’s Eve!…
All I wanted last night was salad, so Matt and I went in search of greens once we arrived back in Hillsborough. We ended up walking down to Weaver St. Market (like Whole Foods) and we piled beds of spinach high with fun toppings and pasta salads. This was phenomenal!!!!!!! Dinner was enjoyed in front of the tv with a Sam Smith Cherry ale split four ways. The ale was fun, but it was more like a fruit juice…
The Christmas partying continued at one of my friend’s houses right across the street from mine. His parents have a party every year and the food is always awesome. This year’s spread was Mediterranean inspired. I had a little of everything, including some un-pictured fudge, caramel popcorn corn, and truffles. I didn’t taste anything I didn’t love over the course of the evening! The booze was flowing so I also enjoyed a few lovely glasses of red vino. ‘ Santa…
Whew. This trip has already been quite a whirlwind of excitement. Yesterday, we went straight from the airport to Durham to apartment hunt. And, boy did we see a few things we liked… We’re going back tomorrow and may even make a decision while we’re here! Unfortunately, my bad headache returned yesterday afternoon and I had to go to bed instead of working out. I guess I’ve just had a lot on my mind and, combined with lack of sleep,…
Good Afternoon, I’ve enjoyed pumpkin season so much this year, but I think it officially ends with Christmas. I had half of a can of pumpkin in my fridge last night, so I made one last loaf of pumpkin bread (with a little bit of frozen butternut in it as well) to bring home to my family. I filled this one with raisins, so I’ll let you know how it tastes. Like most of my trips home, my schedule is…
I feel like all I did this weekend was eat and shop. I guess that’s what you’re supposed to do the weekend before Christmas? I would be finished with shopping, except that one store I needed to go to was closed today, so not quite. As much as I love Newbury Street, I’ll have to say that Christmas shopping is a lot easier when all the stores are located in one building and you can load the car up when…
Happy Monday…only one more to go until the Holidays!! Speaking of Holidays, the Newport mansions were decorated for Christmas and we took a lovely tour of Marble House on Sunday… We listened to an audio tour and learned all about Alva Vanderbilt and her summer “cottage.” It was the perfect activity for a cold, rainy day in December. Per the recommendation of Tina, we had lunch at the Seabreeze Cafe in Newport for hot soup and sandwiches. This was a…
