Thirsty Thursday

So OK Port Washington natives...have you heard of Thirsty Thursdays? Well, I was lucky enough to go on my friend's yacht. They call it a boat, but at 42.9 feet--that's a yacht. Anyway it was a beautiful breezy evening for a sail. 

We got to watch a Thursday evening tradition. People from all the yacht clubs meet up in the bay and race. It was so fun to wave to everyone as we sailed around, eating tasty treats, have wonderful conversations, and just enjoying the evening. The company was great and our captains were gracious hosts. Too bad I didn't have my camera to take a photo of the sunset.

There is just something so calming about being on the water. I could never live somewhere without it.

Something to do on a date in NYC --fun, romantic, educational, and tasty

At Sunset on a day like today:

  • Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from NYC to Brooklyn-- that's the fun (and healthy) part
  • Read the plaques about the history of the bridge if you want the educational part
  • Gaze adoringly in each other's eyes or at the beautiful sunset if you want the romantic part
  • At the end of the bridge, turn right and walk down and around to Grimaldi's for a delicious slide of thin-crust pizza: http://www.grimaldis.com
  • Take the subway back (or a ferry) if you don't feel like walking back
I recommend it!


One of the most beautiful places on earth


I was lucky enough to go to Hawaii last summer with a handsome gentleman no less. It truly is a place that is good for anything that ails you.

Monkfish


This may be considered "poor man's lobster" but boy is it ugly (but not to it's husband/wife).

So OK, this is my first post. My friend (faboolosity.blogspot.com) said I should start a blog and after all she did show me one of my favorites (pioneerwoman.com). What would I talk about???

How about life and dating after divorce and cooking because really, unless this had adult content isn't life all about the food?

We're having a heat wave. Hope you have air conditioning or at least a frosty drink.
