A couple Thursday's ago I partook of the amazing 2 pizzas and bottle of wine for $25 deal at Cellar on Greene--they offer this EVERY Thursday, y'all--you're missing out if you haven't tried it. Kaitlin, (of The Wine Snob), recommended some great wine accompaniments, including Alamos Malbec, and I sipped a glass of the Clara Prosecco.

*One of those dining companions, Jaime Evermann, just started a blog of her own, Non Sequitur Routine. Check it out.So, then last Friday I went to Hunter Gatherer for lunch for my sister's birthday. HG is now open for lunch, in case you didn't know...
Below is what I got, and for those keeping up with things like that, yes--it has meat on it. And no, I haven't eaten meat in almost 3 months, but I was seriously craving some that day. I said a little prayer for the pig who died to give the prosciutto for my sandwich, hoped that he had a good life and a humane death, and then ate it with reckless abandon. It was good, and I haven't thought about meat since.
Prosciutto, goat cheese and fig sandwich on ciabattaMy mom got the famous Ginny's Bleu Cheese Salad, which is always a winner.
And James got a H-G burger with horseradish cheddar cheese and hashbrowns. They cook a mean burger.
And, I also went to Cupcake in the Vista last Friday--to grab some cupcakes for my sister's b-day. The last time I mentioned Cupcake in a post, I also admitted that I had not been there. I have now visited twice in as many weeks, and have still yet to eat an entire cupcake, (due to the damn Biggest Loser diet), but the place itself is a treat to walk into--very olde-soda-shoppe-feeling. In my visits I have purchased the following cupcake flavors: Key Lime, Turtle, Red Velvet, Mint Chocolate, Black & White, and Double Chocolate--all equally pretty and delicious-looking.
In short, all of these local spots have amazing food to offer, not to mention fun and different atmospheres.
I love a Cellar Hunter Cupcake kind of week--what kind of week will you have?

ReplyDeleteKeenan--will-power is relative, you know...I can have it for a day or two, as long as I know I can indulge in pizza and champagne on day 3 :)
