Night Routine
This happens every single night before we turn the light off.

Spring List 2016
SPRING HAS SPRUNG! Finally.
So here's my list of things to do this perfect season of all seasons.

Make an at-home strawberry face mask
Visit the Essex Street Market
Eat pizza in Staten Island
Attempt to make Julia Child's beouf bourguignon
Eat a business lunch at Sardi's
Have you started making seasonal lists of things to do yet? Are you really not into the idea?
My 31st Birthday
I'm 31! And it's not terrible, it's actually kind of nice. I keep waiting to be freaked out about being in my thirties and it hasn't happened.
I went to the Hayden Planetarium today with Nathan for the first time and it was perfect. Not really worth the price, but I was happy to have finally visited. Also, why the hell aren't the chairs more reclinable there? All the money that goes into a place like that and the chairs sit upright while you glare at the ceiling and kill your neck? Makes no sense.
In any case, it was such a nice day and thanks to everyone who had very sweet things to say to me today!

Winter List Revisited
You may recall that I made a winter list of things that I wanted to do. Did I do them? Let's see.
- "FINALLY try to make cauliflower crust for a pizza." - I did it! Check it out!
- "Visit the Martha Stewart Café in Chelsea." - I did, and it was lacklustre! And totally out of the way (it's near 11th Avenue), so don't ever bother.
- "Finally visit Fraunces Tavern." - I only made it there to have drinks (we got there too late to eat food or see the museum), but the drinks were average? I don't know, I didn't see the big deal. Maybe the museum part's cooler? No wait, that last sentence doesn't make sense.
- "Make homemade vanilla extract." - I completely forgot about this one, oops.
- "Eat a By Chloe vegan burger." - I did it and you can read about it here.
So that's that, I got 4/5. Not bad. Spring, here we go!
