Misc and Updates
First things first. My Pineapple Plant has finally decided to reproduce. After many years of TLC, it is finally starting to sprout! Several years ago while visiting Hawaii, I learned that you can cut off the top of the pineapple (leave some meat on the bottom) and soak in water until the roots grow. You then plant it and wait. After several years of patience, it has finally started to grow!
Next up is my new love, Tano’s Hot Sauce Bag. I wish I had a link to take you to, but this bag has been discontinued and cannot be found anywhere (except for a green one on Ebay). I saw it yesterday at the mall, fell in love with it, but held back due to its price tag of $189. I then came home to do research to find how rare it is to find one… and ran back today to rescue it from the mall. They don’t sell their bags in the dept stores, so only small places seem to carry them. The leather is sooooffffttttt and the smell reminds me of the fine leather back in Buenos Aires.
The other day I visited the Skin and Bones exhibit at the MOCA downtown with my friend Arden. I had never been, and it really was a great exhibit to go to. Both being Cognitive Science majors with a love for fashion, we really knocked ourselves out. We then took a stroll down to the Grand Central Market to find some grub, and grub we did find. Huge tacos… the photo doesn’t do it justice.
The remainder of the day was just as fun - after picking up Hiroko for some Pinkberry (yes, my addiction has gotten a little out of hand) (oh, they reassured me that mochi would be in on Tuesday), we watched The Notebook and the Finale to Sex & The City back at my place before heading over to NoHo to drop Arden off. Hiroko and I decided to be a bit adventurous and stopped at an Argentine BBQ place in the Valley (LaLa’s). I was delighted to find that they carried Quilmes, and the meat was pretty good too although nothing compares to the meat you get in Argentina.
In the meantime, T has been shipped overseas back to Shanghai for a few weeks… and so now we’re on this reverse 16 hr schedule (midnight for him, I’m just waking up) which is quite strange. I am, however, enjoying that I now get TWO flat pillows instead of ONE

That was some damn good food. The garlicky dip that came with the bread was also great - good thing I wasn’t kissing anyone (that night). HA!
