I'm in Florida with the family for a week, so posts will resume on Mother's Day this Sunday! If you'll miss me excessively, my Instagram (lizheather) will likely be blowing up.
Love this.

Five New Soft-Serve Flavors at Momofuku Milk Bar
Today is May 1, which means that Pastry Chef Christina Tosi (of Momofuku fame) rolled out new menus at all Momofuku Milk Bar locations. In addition to the return of new cake truffles (which are birthday cake, german chocolate jimbo cake and strawberry lemon cake), there happen to be five new soft-serve flavours.
In the East Village, it's cranberry limeade; yuzu citrus verbena is in the machines at the Chambers Hotel in midtown; the Carroll Gardens location has got Mandarin-orange creamsicle ice cream; the Upper West Side has a riff on fruit cocktail with peaches, pears, grapes, cherry, and more. Finally, the Williamsburg Milk Bar has huckleberry cheesecake, made with fruit compote and graham-cracker crumbs, which is the only one of the lot that can be served as a swirl. All flavors are available now through July 31.
If you don't find this news worthy information, I'm sorry that you had a rough childhood.

Super Juice Me
To be fair, I haven't watched this yet (I'm literally about to press play), but c'mon - you know this is my kinda movie. And I'm posting it preemptively mainly because you can watch it for until the next week. Go watch!
If you go on their website, just type in your email and you'll be able to watch it for free until Monday May 5th. Also, if it actually sucks then I'll come back and delete this post. OR let you know just how good it is. JUICE!
(Thanks to Jenn for the heads up!)

BECAUSE, okay?
Bic Pens For Her
Other than the times that she scares people on her show, I don't really have an opinion on Ellen. (Those scare pranks? Oh, man are they great. Just in general. So funny to see someone's scared reaction.) But anyway, yeah - no real opinion on Ellen. Seems okay, I guess. But this is just great. (Thanks Adele for posting it originally and showing me!)
16 Acres
I just watched this on Netflix and I thought it was really good. Not in an entertaining-good kind of way, but moreso in an I-didn't-know-any-of-this kind of way. And if you're like me and would watch anything 9/11 related (as I've stated before), then definitely check this out. It basically highlights the politics and drama surrounding the rebuilding of Ground Zero, and the 16 acres that now house 1WTC and the National September 11th Memorial and Museum. The trailer's above.
Also, this is what one of the proposed designs looked like, as shown in the film.
Is it just me or is that one of the most beautifully complex buildings you've ever seen? Man. Anyway, lots of stuff is covered in this movie - if you have any kind of interest in architecture or anything September 11th-related, then you'll really want to see this one.
