Day 1 - Lemon



Well, we're off to a pretty inauspicious start. Did anyone else know the City Bakery closes at 7:00 on weekdays? Seven o'clock! In New York City! I ran an errand after work, then went by Uniqlo (for maybe 5 minutes, I swear) and by the time I got there, it was 7:30.

The only good news is that TONY hated today's Lemon Hot Chocolate. I suspected I'd hate it too, since I don't really like chocolate and citrus pairings. I'm disgusted by those chocolate oranges you have to pound on the table to break into slices. My mouth is getting all puckery just thinking about it. Bold move for the first day of the festival.

I'm a little concerned about tomorrow as well. It's Restaurant Week so I'm going to have dinner at the Russian Tea Room! Unfortunately the only reservation they had left was at 5:00, and I don't know that I'll be able to make it back downtown before 7:00 to get tomorrow's Chili Pepper Hot Chocolate. I'm thinking about waking up early to stop by before work.

I'm also discouraged that TONY is running basically the same blog. How can I compete when I have naught but amateur photography and lactase enzyme supplement pills on my side?
