Day 13!


So last night was our big night out in the city - Hubby had gotten tickets to something that he wouldn't tell me what it was - Got us a hotel room and all :)  <3

The weather was HORRIBLE and the meanie made me walk from Penn Station to the hotel, about 3/4 mile away - the exercise is good, but in that weather and prior to a show and all, I was not a happy camper by the time we got there - We took a cab this morning, though the weather was nicer, but the sidewalks in that area were pretty bad...

So the show... It was Sleep no More :)

And there was a lot more walking throughout that as well

So anyway...

Since I slept in, got ready and packed before even coming downstairs, I didn't have breakfast - Lunch was my beef and sweet potato chili again.

Dinner was at the hotel restaurant La Piscine - I think we were overall pretty successful :)

We started with the crab tartine appetizer (we didn't eat the bread) - My only concern here was the aioli, I didn't get to ask if it was made with a commercial mayo or if it was homemade as Hubby ordered it as a last second decision, but we'll let that slide... It was delicious and I think I may try to replicate it at home soon :)



Our entree was the grass fed New York strip steak with kale - it was supposed to come with pommes frites and a Bearnaise sauce, so we asked to leave those off and maybe more kale - asked to have the kale sautéed in olive oil rather than butter - they were very accommodating and the waiter asked about the plan...



I'm pretty sure our steaks were revered and hubby got my rare and I got his medium rare, but it was still yummy :)

We won't talk about the drinks last night ;P  lol

Overall, I'm calling Day 13 Success!
