I am now on the last (hopefully) spring break I will ever have! Sadly, the weather is freakishly cold. Seriously, it is 38 degrees outside. Boo. I want the spring weather back!
Last Sunday, we were going to have a BBQ, but we ended up postponing it. I was hoping it would happen this weekend, but it is too damn cold. We did, however, end up going to the Brooklyn Flea Market. We began by eating some super yummy food.
This is an Asian-inspired hotdog. It was a chicken hotdog with cucumber, mango and peanuts in a yummy slightly spicy sauce on top. Sooooo good. Claire and I are going to try and recreate these at home.
Victoria got a ham and cheese grilled sandwich and a Mexican coke. She was beyond excited about the coke!
Claire got the same hotdog that I did. Sorry for the funny picture Claire! Its the only one I had!
The flea market was held inside. I think it was the last weekend of being inside and from now on it will be outside. The building it was held in was really cool though. It had amazing mosaics on the ceiling.
Victoria grabbed a brochure that explained the history of the building. Apparently you can rent the space for weddings. I think it would be an incredible venue!
Getting through the last few days of school before break was hard. Thursday night at 6pm when I was finally done, I was so relieved. However, I have a huge to-do list! Just because it is spring (passover) break, doesn't mean it was the end of the semester. I have a huge paper to work on. I really need to get a good chunk of it done and finish all the research because the week after break I have to do a presentation to the class on my paper. Not looking forward to that! The good thing about this paper is that it is about fashion! My paper is on the cultural appropriation of the word "couture" that is legally protected in France but is casually thrown around everywhere else. I get to read fun books about the history of fashion as part of my research.

Last night I hung out with Claire and Charlie and their friends. Claire made these great chicken adobo sandwiches, Charlie made steak and cheese sandwiches, and I made banana cream pie with a nilla wafer crust and a layer of chocolate. All in all it was a fun night.
I woke up at 7:30 this morning and should have just gotten up but I decided to go back to sleep. I then woke up at 12:30 this afternoon with a headache from sleeping too long. I've just been hanging around today catching up on some tv on Hulu. Now it is time to get some things done and be productive!
hey! i didn't even know you were keeping a new york blog! how exciting! you'd better post often so that i have something to read at 2am when i can't sleep, as happens often lately.
