Another beautiful day in NY!
We had a mixed bag this weekend, weatherwise. Saturday was a bit of a washout. Although, we did manager to go to a party in the late afternoon and early evening. It was a pretty good party. Good food, good drink, great conversation and entertainment.
The food was pretty much standard party fare. It was catered by an Italian restaurant that we had actually eaten in a few years back. So, you were not going to go wrong with the food from there. I had some chicken marsala and pasta with vodka sauce. They were both delicious. I couldn't stay away from having at least one garlic knot. Although I am sure that kept people away from me for the rest of the night!
Joe's brother's band played throughout the night. Fortunately, the neighbors cooperated and didn't call the police!! They are pretty good. The play the usual 70s and 80s rock type music.
My downfall was the Rainbow cookies that came from the local bakery. They are one of my favorites, although I prefer to have them at holiday time, I couldn't resist!
It was a late night as we didn't get home until after 3am. Fortunately the only plans for Sunday was the Mets game and that wasn't until 8pm.
So we spent a lazy Sunday morning at home. I made some French toast (with whole wheat bread, a few teaspoons of cinnamon, and one of my favorite secret ingredients, nutmeg!)
Of course French toast isn't the same without Syrup! So we, of course, smothered it with syrup!
We took a nice stroll along the beach as it was another beautiful day. The ocean water is still chilly but feels like it is getting warmer! I can't wait to jump in!
We headed home and had an early dinner since I had to leave for the baseball game. It takes about two hours to get there by train (door to seat!). Between the cost of gas and the new stadium being built in the parking lot, I do not drive to the stadium anymore. It only used to take 45 minutes to get there. So, thats the price we pay!
It was a great night for baseball. Perfect temperature, big crowd filled with excitement after the Mets had won in dramatic fashion the day before. Everyone was looking for that excitement again! And the Mets delivered. It was a great game all around. Everyone went home happy after the Mets beat the Dodgers 6-1 and their star pitcher Johan Santana got his 100th career win!
So all in all, it was another great NY weekend!
I hope everyone else enjoyed their weekend!....well except in LA, I know they probably didn't!
That's all for now!
I am signing off for now!
Catch ya later!
