I have started, a few years ago, to take my Birthday off. (I highly recommend it. It feels really nice to be able to enjoy the day and not get stressed out at work. Plus, this guarantees that I will not get stuck at work late.) This year, I decided to go into work for a couple of hours in the morning for an important meeting. It was not ideal, but hey, sometimes I can be responsible too :P
As soon as I finished, I headed over to Clinton Street Baking Company, my most favorite brunch place in the city. They have AMAZING blueberry pancakes that they serve with maple butter (yes, that's right, this melted maple syrup and butter concoction is what you pour over your pancakes or, in my case, dip your pancakes into). The pancakes are very soft and thick. The blueberries are cooked in the pancakes and some are put on top. They are divine.
On my way home, I picked up some carnations. I love it when there are fresh flowers in my apartment.
I spent the rest of the afternoon watching our wedding videos that we've just received the night before (perfect timing!). Barney was not too happy about that because I was practically glued to the TV. The video highlights are fantastic and watching all the footage brought back all the happy feelings from the wedding day. I'll have to post some wedding pictures in another post.
Then, I met up with Jeff, Jessie, and Josh for dinner at Momofuku Ssam Bar. We feasted on steamed pork buns (with pork belly), Fuji apple kimchi, seasonal pickles, a huge plate of ham, and spicy pork sausage with Korean rice cakes. Oh. My. Gosh. They were sooooooo delicious. For dessert, we went next door to their Milk Bar and got a whole banana cake, some crack pies, and some cookies. There was no seating at Milk Bar, so we brought them home. We sampled a little bit of everything before calling it a night. A perfect night in my opinion :) Thank you everyone so much again for making my Birthday so special!
