Some Catchup Time

It's time to catch up on the last couple of weeks or so. I grabbed some pictures of some of the highlights (not that they're that high, but whatever).

This is "Borscht."


No, I didn't stick my hand in a blender and serve it for dinner. Kristal decided to go out on a limb and serve the family her new favorite food, beets. This is a soup comprised of, primarily, beets -- along with some other stuff.

I actually liked it. Can't say as much for Miles though:


Last weekend we went to Rutt's Hut. It's a hot dog joint in Clifton, NJ, about twenty minutes from us. It also is supposed to have some of the best dogs ever. Now, I have to admit that I find it odd that east-coasters take as much pride in their dogs as they do, but sure enough -- there are so many 'world famous' dogs here: Gray's Papaya, Nathan's, and Rutt's Hut.


Rutt's claim to fame is the Ripper -- a deep fried hot dog. We each got two, and I gotta admit, that was one tasty dog! They've been serving them that way for over 60 years.

One of our highlights over the past couple of weeks was seeing:


Cry-Baby, the Musical. It's a Musical that hasn't "technically" opened yet -- no one is allowed to write reviews about it in the press or anything. It's in pre-showing, and apparently how this works is shows they aren't sure will be a big hit typically open a few weeks early for a 'soft launch.' Depending on the success of those shows, they set ticket prices and the number of performances, etc. We made a great night out of it:


Kristal looking gorgeous:


And her walking in Times Square by the theater:


Judging by the standing ovation we gave the performers, this one's going to do well.

Tonight after dinner we went to the park by our place. The weather is warming up so nice and there's sun late enough that doing things in the evening is a little easier.









So there you have it.

I will do another blog post on Sunday if we do anything this weekend. Not sure what we have planned. We will definitely have downtime next week and weekend because we're going on our spring break trip up to Portland, ME and touring around New Hampshire and Vermont! Look for the exciting blog post about sometime week after next. Should be a good one given what we have planned!!
