Broadway Day!

This week, both Sandra and our mother were on their spring breaks from school. They came into New York City on Thursday and stood in line at the TKTS booth to see what show they could get into that night. They picked Gypsie, and met me at 5 when I left work. We went for dinner near Times Square at a restaurant called Havanna Central, and then went to the show. It was really great! Sandra took a bunch of photos to share.

4.20.08 - Sangria night and Yo-Yo's

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday!
Today we decided to make a big pitcher of sangria, and the rest of our dinner stemmed from there; we had quesadillas and refried beans to eat.

Here's our menu for the day:

Fruity Sangria (from Summer Cocktails Cookbook)
Refried Beans
Spinach, Mushroom, Goat Cheese, and Pear quesadillas
Chorizo, Pepper, Onion, and Cheddar quesadillas
Strawberry Galette




Fruit for the sangria

Our first yo-yo's ever... they're so easy!


We wish we had more time to write about our day, but Rachel has to drive home now. Our yo-yo quilt is our new work-in-progress so we'll be posting about it a lot in the next few weeks. We'll have more surprises for you in the next few days, so check back soon.

xoxo
