This one landed us over in the East Village at a well-known brunch spot, <a href="http://peelsnyc.com/" target="_blank">Peels</a>. I had been wanting to try this place out for at least a year and never made it over there, that is until Sunday. My year of waiting and reading reviews was worth it. We met up with some friends and snagged a table outside on the sidewalk. They're known for their bakery and biscuits. And even though the biscuits are not southern style biscuits they are still quite large and buttery! The rest of the food was done just right and had incredible flavor, even my egg whites. But since we were all enjoying each other's company and the weather we decided to head over the another place I'd been wanting to try for a year. <a href="http://www.doughnutplant.com/" target="_blank">The Doughnut Plant! </a> Our brunch needed a little dessert. And sweet we got. Nothing to say on this one besides, "go have a doughnut." After all that we thought we better walk home. Whew!<br />

After beginning the weekend off with Friday night at <a href="http://www.cafecondesa.com/" target="_blank">Cafe Condesa </a>we then moved onto Saturday evening in the park. We met up with some friends in Central Park and took over a little plot outside of the <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/search?tm_link=tm_homeA_header_search&vid=21&user_input=summerst&q=Central+Park+Summerstage" target="_blank">Summerstage </a>where <a href="http://www.gavindegraw.com/order" target="_blank">Gavin DeGraw</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colbie_Caillat" target="_blank">Colbie Calliat</a> were playing in concert, together! If you're wondering why we didn't buy tickets and go inside the open-air venue then let me explain. 1. We would have had to pay 2. We wouldn't have been able to move freely 3. We couldn't have had our homemade guacamole, cookies, drinks, etc 4. We wouldn't have been able to throw some balls around. So therefore, we had the ideal spot! After the concert ended we walked through the park and over to the Hudson river for more NYC fun on the water. We ate lobster rolls and drank beer outside while the sun went down at <a href="http://piericafe.com/" target="_blank">Pier Cafe</a>. The lobster rolls were delicious with just a little mayo - more lobster = perfect. There was also a saxophonist playing which made the atmosphere that much more enjoyable. I'm not sure if he's there often but even if he's not then I would still suggest you go try it out!<br />

It's been said that NYC is a very bi-polar city. I must agree. During the winter people are dying to escape BUT come Summer everyone realizes just how glorious the city is and doesn't want to leave. (Unless it's to the Hamptons, which is really just NYC at the beach) I am one of these NYC bi-polar people. I love the city in the Summer! This weekend confirmed my love once again.<br />
<br />
It was friend and food-filled. What more do you want during these months? Except for maybe nice weather but we had that as well! So this week I'm blogging about all the different places we went to this past weekend. Get ready because it's all about food. And good food at that. However, this first post is just an introduction. Haha<br />
<br />
But if you're needing something to fill your food desires then check out where we went on a date Friday night up in the West Village... <a href="http://www.cafecondesa.com/" target="_blank">Cafe Condesa.</a> It's a tiny little place and oh so tasty!<br />

We started on Friday night with a fun dinner with friends at<a href="http://www.extravirginrestaurant.com/#/home" target="_blank"> Extra Virgin</a> and a post-dinner rooftop drink. Saturday morning we began with Krispy Kreme doughnuts (a family favorite.) The doughnuts were just to warm the stomach up for what was to come next. For over a month a group of our friends have had tickets to <a href="http://www.tasteoftribeca.com/" target="_blank">Taste of Tribeca</a>. It's a great neighborhood event where most all of the restaurants participate. They block off around 8 blocks and have live music, tastings from each restaurants, and a kids tent with face painting, etc. The food was wonderful and we finally were able to try out some of our local neighborhood restaurants we've walked past numerous times. After we had our fill of food we moved onto the local wine stores where they were having <i>free</i> wine tastings. I think we all needed to sit and let our stomachs settle so we headed to the park and just sat.<br />
Later that night, Ben and I went to see the Broadway play<a href="http://www.broadway.com/shows/newsies/" target="_blank"> Newsies </a>for my birthday! It was one of my favorite movies as a little girl and the play definitely did not disappoint. (If you're visiting the city or live here make sure you go) It was quite hard not to sing along during the play but I managed to hold back until we were back in our apartment. I feel bad for our neighbors.<br />
We ended the weekend with a delicious steak dinner with friends in Midtown at <a href="http://qualitymeatsnyc.com/#" target="_blank">Quality Meats</a>. It was so much fun to spend my birthday with such great friends! This past weekend is what makes me love living in the city.<br />

This time in our previous city of Charlotte. The reason was to see our old Charlotte friends as well as our annual Chapel Hill bible study reunion. The weekend was absolutely wonderful. There really is nothing like seeing old friends to make the heart happy. (Not to mention visiting the place the Ben and I met and fell in love.)<br />
Everyone in the group now has kids (with the exception of LB and me being pregnant) so the group has doubled in numbers and noise levels. Which only makes it that much more fun! Instead of going out to eat, we now cookout and play in the park. It's funny how life changes and somehow seems to just get better.<br />

However, after this past weekend I couldn't wait to come home and try to write down the kind of weekend I witnessed. It started with an surprising invitation that came my way about a month and a half ago. The invitation was to attend a "Ladies Farm Forum" in Asheville, NC. This event is put on through a wonderful and generous family as well as <a href="http://www.ttf.org/" target="_blank">The Trinity Forum</a>. My sister had gone once before and Ben had gone to the "guys farm weekend" last August. Needless to say, they both loved it and have talked about it the entire year. So I was beyond excited that I got invited.<br />
Are you asking yourself, what the heck does this "Farm Forum" thing entail? Well, it's somewhat hard to describe since I'm not sure words will do it justice. But I'll try.<br />
To sum it up, it was about fellowship with other women who love Jesus and came together in a place of rest and yet silliness. However, it goes far and beyond just that. We all read the book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Return-Prodigal-Son-Homecoming/dp/0385473079" target="_blank">The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen</a> before we arrived. We had 3 sessions on the book throughout the weekend. The rest of the weekend was about resting and listening to the words of God and then basically having a big slumber party like you did back when you didn't care about how silly you looked. It was an amazing and beautiful time of freedom, love, acceptance, peace, honesty, raw emotions, and seriously silly and fun girl time. This past weekend will go down in the history books as being one of the best! God is good.<br />

I have to say that we have celebrated well. Beginning with Hawaii, then his family coming in for the weekend, dinner in the West Village at <a href="http://www.masfarmhouse.com/home.html" target="_blank">MAS Farmhouse</a> (where the Obamas ate), surprise party in Tribeca at <a href="http://silverliningbar.com/" target="_blank">Silver Lining</a>, walking through Central Park, and finishing with homemade carrot cake and blueberry pie! It has been so much fun. I wish we could have birthdays every week!<br />

I can't say enough good things about Kapalua. However, I'll get to the trip next week since today is a very important day. It's Ben's 30th birthday!! That's right, I'm married to an older man. He's no longer in his wild and crazy twenties but now in his responsible thirties and about to be a father. And a great father I know he'll be. I hope you're having the best birthday to date my love and I can't wait to spend the next 70 with you! Happy Birthday!!!<br />

Which I'm not complaining about because it means that there is only one more day between us and Hawaii! That's right folks, we're headed to Hawaii. Maui to be exact. (I know that I just got back into blogging but once again I'm going to be off all next week.) We have a few things on the itinerary but unfortunately there are some thing that will have to wait until next time due to pregnancy stipulations. ie, zip-lining, biking down the mountain (this one I would do but the website explicitly says "no pregnant women," and riding ATVs. However, we are going to a luau, playing golf at a PGA course, etc. I cannot wait to be in temperatures higher than 58 degrees. From as long as I can remember, my dream has been to live on an island where all we do is walk/hike along the ocean, tend to our pineapple/avocado farm, drive our Volkswagen van/Wagoneer, listen to Bob Marley and Sublime, and sleep with all the windows open. Needless to say, if you know Ben then you know that we are quite different! But somehow <i>different </i>compliments each other. So I sign off, as I go to my happy place for a whole week straight!! (There's new necklaces up on the <a href="http://www.spencermorgandesigns.com/" target="_blank">website</a> to check out while I'm gone)<br />

Let's move onto a Spinach and Cheese Strata recipe, shall we? I made this for Easter brunch. I made two thinking we would need that much but only needed one. So we've been eating the second one for dinner this whole week. Needless to say, it's pretty darn good and a great brunch staple for when you have guests and need something to prepare the night before. I got this tasty recipe from the lovely Smitten Kitchen and would recommend it to anyone. (You can always add sausage to make it even heartier.) Here's the<a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/12/spinach-and-cheese-strata/" target="_blank"> link to the recipe.</a></div>

I've been waiting until yesterday to finally announce the news. Now it's finally time...we're having a baby<u> <span style="color: blue;">BOY</span></u>!!!!!! We found out the sex yesterday and couldn't be more excited. I'm due in late September which means that I'm going to be huge and sweaty this Summer. Something to look forward to, right?<br />
<br />
The pregnancy has been flying by and I know it's going to continue since we don't have a free weekend until after July. It's going to be a jam packed Summer with travels, baby planning, turning the closet into the nursery, etc. We're going to live every moment up since this will be the very last Summer we have just the two of us. We've got to make it count!!! <br />

I'll definitely be blogging tomorrow!<br />
<br />
This weekend was wonderfully reflective and worshipful while also being jam packed! But we made time to walk through Central Park on Saturday. Ben hadn't been in town for basically a month and hasn't seen all the tulips blooming as well as the trees,etc. It was fun to finally get some time with Ben and enjoy the blooming Springtime. We celebrated Easter and Christ's Resurrection yesterday. After church we had a huge brunch at our apartment. And we'll be eating brunch foods for the rest of the week with all the leftovers. Some of these recipes will be coming later this week.<br />

I said I would come back from Florida and blog but I decided to take a few days off from the blog once I got back last week. Florida was absolutely wonderful! The weather was perfect, spending time with my parents was great, seeing old friends was refreshing, and the wedding was more than perfect! I unfortunately hardly took any pictures except for a few on my phone so here's a couple that made me smile last night.<br />

The reason for the trip is a wedding this weekend. I'm getting in early so I can see friends that I haven't seen in over a year, have a date with my dad,shop with my mom, and have a trunk show. If you haven't checked out the <a href="http://spencermorgandesigns.com/" target="_blank">website</a> lately, you'll find that I have added a bunch of new necklaces. Just in time for the trunk show...and Spring shopping!!! I am loving all the bright colors this season and am ready to go shopping with my mom today. Did I mention that we're shopping outside, in sunshine and warm weather? Heavenly. See yall in a week. Don't forget to check out the <a href="http://spencermorgandesigns.com/" target="_blank">website</a> for new products.<br />

Did you all have a good weekend and St Patrick's Day? Since I completely forgot to wear green on Saturday I decided to make a "green" cabbage dish instead. I had never made anything with cabbage before and can honestly say that I wasn't exactly excited about this first go round. But I went for it and I'm glad I did. It was a cheap and easy meal, if nothing else. I got the recipe from my sister who made it with ham instead of polish sausage. Let me just say that I would have used ham <i>if </i>our grocery store carried normal things. However, this is why I always stock up on "normal" items whenever we go outside the city. But back to the cabbage. Here's all it takes -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Head of green cabbage roughly chopped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bone-in ham or polish sausage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
onion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 or 3 potatoes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cute everything up. Saute the onion in butter. Add potatoes and sausage/ham and cover with water. Season with salt, pepper, etc. Add cabbage 15 minutes later. It will be done in another 15-20 minutes. Get all the good stuff with a slotted spoon and enjoy! (Leave some for the leprechaun)</div>

We had some time to kill after church and before brunch with friends so we decided to go and have a cappuccino and pastry at a nearby cafe, called <a href="http://cafelalo.com/cafe/about-us/" target="_blank">Cafe Lalo</a>. We decided to go in by how cute it looked from the outside, as well as the crowd inside. However, we didn't know that Meg Ryan also liked it in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You've_Got_Mail" target="_blank">You've Got Mail. </a>It was the spot that she and Tom Hanks picked to "meet" for the first time where she has her rose and book. Without knowing those fun details while we at <a href="http://cafelalo.com/cafe/about-us/" target="_blank">Cafe Lalo</a> we thoroughly enjoyed it. The drinks were great and the menu was extensive. We're already looking forward to getting back up there and trying some other menu items.<br />

I had found this <a href="http://bakingdom.com/2010/04/quick-easy-peasy-buttermilk-cinnamon-rolls.html" target="_blank">Easy Cinnamon Roll recipe</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>earlier that week and decided to give it a try. It was by far the easiest homemade cinnamon roll recipe, not to mention fairly quick. (although doesn't even compare to Mrs. Becky's recipe) The only thing I would change is the icing. It called for confectioners sugar icing which made it just overall too sugary. Didn't know that was possible but it was. So next time I would change it to a cream cheese icing to balance out the sugar. This recipe would be great for company or Easter brunch when you don't have tons of time to slave in the kitchen.<br />
Click on the link above for the recipe and much prettier pictures of the process.<br />

Did you all have a great "Spring" weekend like we did? This was one of the first weekends that it was enjoyable to be outside, particularly yesterday. However, Friday night was spent around Chelsea, inside. I participated in a <a href="http://www.360fullcircle.net/" target="_blank">360 Dance Company</a> fundraiser. (They're a non-profit dance company.) It was such a good time and I somehow felt like a New Yorker. (haha) They had food, drinks, about 5 Designers (including me), and of course, dancing! About half way through the event, 3 dancers came out and performed a few new dances they had been working on The dances will debut for the public come this Fall! It was incredibly cool to see such a talented people perform in such an intimate setting (and without any of their props.) I took a few videos of the dances but unfortunately you'll only be able to see a small clip.<br />

Here's one of my new favorite necklaces. I'm so excited about how bright colors are the big fashion story this Spring and Summer! </div>

Yesterday was a very sad day around Jacksonville, FL. Dale Regan, my private high school's Headmaster was murdered in her office by a teacher who had been fired the previous day. Ms. Regan had been at Episcopal for more than 30 years and was known as a visionary leader. Just to prove how much she was respected by students, my entire news feed on Facebook was friends talking about personal stories Ms Regan had played in their lives. Whether it being helping getting into colleges or just stopping to say "hi" in the hallways. It's a sad day for the Episcopal community in Jacksonville. If you would like to read more about it <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2111229/Episcopal-High-School-shooting-Dale-Regan-killed-Shane-Schumerth-Jacksonville-Florida.html" target="_blank">click here</a> or <a href="http://www.news4jax.com/news/Vigils-held-for-slain-school-headmaster/-/475880/9237724/-/5au6ebz/-/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Please be praying for Ms Regan's family as well the teacher's family. </div>

Maybe it's because it's winter and we haven't done too much. Maybe it's because Ben has had something almost every weekend. Or maybe it's because I've been working on 4 things over the past few weeks and since they're still not completed there's nothing to blog about, besides the necklaces that I posted last week. However, we actually got out this weekend and enjoyed our lovely city with some friends. It felt so good to be out and about with Ben! Friday night we had dinner with some friends at a Tapas like restaurant called,<a href="http://www.txikitonyc.com/" target="_blank"> Txikito.</a> It's also on<a href="http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2011/12/new-york-city-101-best-restaurants.html#photo=99x00028" target="_blank"> Grub Street's top 101 restaurants</a> in NYC. If you live in the city or whether you're visiting, I would suggest you take a look at this list. Saturday night we started with an early dinner in the West Village at a restaurant called,<a href="http://lowcountrynewyork.com/" target="_blank"> Low Country.</a> It's a great southern style restaurant with fried pickles (although not near as good as the south - but at least they're trying!) Before we walked in the restaurant the sun was setting over the Hudson through the tiny neighborhood streets of the Village and was a perfect picture I tried to capture. Although, it didn't nearly begin to do it justice.<br />

After dinner it was time for the Texas Independence Day Concert at <a href="http://www.terminal5nyc.com/" target="_blank">Terminal 5</a>. Even though it was a fairly good country line-up we were there to see <a href="http://www.patgreen.com/" target="_blank">Pat Green</a>! He brings me right on back to college when he used to frequent the Auburn campus. </div>

We ended the weekend with lunch after church with some of our friends in from Charlotte at Eat Here Now and then a stroll through Central Park where we saw the first hint of Spring!! We finally landed at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/" target="_blank">MET to see The Stein Exhibit </a>which was fascinating and wonderful. The exhibit will be there until June 3, so go if you can! After our big weekend I'll be resting up (and working.)</div>
