[ Random Ramblings ] Crappy Day.
Do you ever have one of those days where things just don’t feel right?
Well today I am having one of those days. I had the worst panic attack at the office. I couldn’t breath, I was nervously shaking and all I could think about was calling my mom. I called her and she assured me that everything was Ok at home. She also told me she had just finished praying for my brother and I. – Thanks Mom.
As I got off the phone the only thing I could do was cry. Why? I don’t know. De + Frances did their best to console me but 4 hours later I still don’t know why I just can’t shake a gripping feeling I have around my heart and a lump in my throat. But my hope is that by talking about it.. I can release this horrible energy.. shoo fly.. don’t bother me
All I want to do is curl up in my bed and go to sleep. 🙁
So that’s the day I’m having today.
Mack keeps telling me to make my mind go somewhere else.. but easier said then done… But thanks for the efforts dear.
Thank you to everyone who tweeted their concern. I appreciate your support. Hoping to feel better soon.
xoxo! – Aimes
( the misses took this pic last fall, it made me smile. I love Fall.)

[ I *heart* NYC ] Street Sweets
I tweeted my friends (in my head) @StreetSweets early Sunday morning that I was looking forward to seeing them at Carts in the Parc.. They messaged me back and let me know sadly they were not participating because of some meanies but were grateful for the love and support. Because I love them so I decided to visit them anyways.. off to 75th and Broadway we went. 🙂
We ordered:
1-Iced coffee 1- Nutella Macarella 1- Chocolate cookie.
We sat happily on a bench and enjoyed each bite >:)
[I *heart* NYC] NYCWFF: Carts in the Parc
Months ago the Mrs. asked me if I wanted to participate in NYC’s Wine and Food Festival. I agreed and after much deliberation and counting our change we decided on Carts in the Parc hosted by Andrew Zimmern.
….Fast forward to today…
We arrived excited with bellies empty and tupperware in purse #dontjudgeme.
We planned our stategy and ATTACKED!
( The random people I photographed are the actual Chef’s of each truck)
On the menu: Veal Schnitzel with austrian potato salad & white wine braised sauerkraut.
My thoughts: Delish and wish I had 2nds. The veal was cooked to perfection and the potato salad was a awesome combination.
Shout out to Chef Oleg Voss and his sidekick for the day and the Mrs. blogging friend Molly Yeh 🙂
On the menu: Sweet Potato and Peanut dumpling fritters.
My thoughts: I took the dumpling off the bun and it was so flavorful! 🙂
On the menu: Lamb Fez: braised leg of lamb w/ prunes and roasted almonds on couscous Moroccan mint tea
My thoughts: The lamb and sauce was YICK but the couscous was good.
Andrew Zimmern/Michael White
On the Menu: Panino de Lingua con salsa verde
My thoughts: Umm tongue? Are you kidding me? No thank you.
On the Menu: Salted Pimp (Vanilla soft serve, dulce de leche, sea salt, dipped in chocolate)
My thoughts: I had seconds so this was a “winner winner chicken dinner”!! I love me some sweet and salty!
The Gay’s were absolutely delightful! And they won Critics Choice!! 🙂 Woo-hooo!!
On the Menu: Brownies, Cookies, Bars
My thoughts: Yum. Everything was delish but my favorite was the Pecan Butterscotch bars
Shout out to Chef Kim. Thanks for letting me take some home 😉
On the Menu: Falafel & Beef Shawarma
My thoughts: My fave of the whole event. Everything was flavorful and scrumptious. Spicy but not flaming 🙂
On the menu: Whatchamacallit Cupcake & Salted Caramel Shake
My thoughts: The cupcake was so moist and I could have had a full cup of the shake.
On the menu: Thin Crust Cheese Pizza
My thoughts: I’m a sucker for some pizza but I didn’t care to much for the crust.. Tasted like pita..
On the menu: Spicy Chicken Biyani & Kati Roll
My thoughts: Ehhhh it was spicy. But the smell of Saffron was making me gag so after 1 bite I was through. It looked pretty though.
On the menu: Galbi short rib taco
My thoughts: I wish I would have tried this first. I was a little traumatized by the taste of lamb so the short rib inevitably tasted like lamb to me =/ But aside from that it was flavorful.
Amongst all the wonderful food we did have some food celebrity people like SPIKE from Top Chef (The Mrs. Biggest Crush), Gail Simmons, Andrew Zimmern.
And I totally confess I was a FAT KID!!!! 🙂
But it was totally worth it!!!
xoxo!
