My birthday was on Monday, and my little sister bought my domain name for a present! So we are now…
ANDWHATIATE.COM
Such a great gift – I was so excited. All the old links will still work, but now it’ll be easier to access the site instead of typing in the longer address I used to have. I feel so official now. Thanks Colly Doll!
So B and I decided to head down to Philly for a late birthday dinner at Amada, one of our all-time favorite restaurants. The space somehow manages to be enormous but cozy, the tapas they serve is out of this world, their sangria tastes like Christmas morning, and the “little plates” give you an excuse to eat a LOT of some of the best food I’ve ever had:
 |
A ridiculous meat & cheese plate: chorizo pamplona, serrano ham, & salchichon; then aged manchego with truffled lavender honey (!!!), ersmesenda with chocolate hazelnut puree, and a garrotxa with a garlic dulce de leche
 |
| Ensalada Verde with avocado, asparagus, favas, and green beans/ a spanish flatbread with artichokes, wild mushrooms, black truffles and manchego |
|
 |
| parmesan artichokes and lamb meatballs |
 |
| Grilled calamari with spanish pesto |
 |
| “Mother and child”: chicken breast, fried egg, mojama & truffles |
Combine that with a delicious “breakfast” (yes I know that’s a reuben) at the Downtown Deli, then lunch at Carl Von Luger’s with my Mom, and it was one of the best dining days I’ve had in a while.
And February itself has been pretty great in general:
Yoga Dance party in one of the rooms at the gorgeous Scranton Cultural Center, hosted by Mission Yoga; The Dinner of Love at The Colonnade to benefit the Sant’ Andrea Society; a weekend yoga workshop with the amazing Pradeep Teotia at Balance (during the Northeast’s biggest snowstorm in decades, which ended up making it an even more incredible experience); a weekend at Moosic Lake with my girlfriends; Philly for my birthday; and a great yoga mat carrier from Green Being Scranton, among other things, to cap it all off.
