Here’s the real deal about commuting in New York City.

Unless you have some sort of armpit fetish (no judgment) or are so abnormally tall that you are the armpit that someone else’s nose just happen to be at smell-level with (if so. DEODORANT. worthwhile investment.)…it’s really just not as fun as it looks on tv.  Or in this video my brother (he’s the one in the blue cardigan) and his colleagues made for a work competition.

They really unjustly glorified the whole situation for me, don’t you think?

If you don’t have something nice to say you really shouldn’t say it at all, but if I abode by that life rule, my roommate and I would have nothing to gossip about between the hours of 10 and midnight every night and, well, all of you who are expecting a recap of the Carnival cruise I went on this past weekend would be sorely disappointed when the only purely apathetic point I could muster on the subject was “I went.”

So instead you’re going to get outrage and disgust.  Lucky you.

Carrot Cake Ice Cream

67 Comments

IMG_3071 August may be almost over but that means we just have to stuff as much ice cream into the next few weeks as is physically possible!  To help us do that, Brandy over at Nutmeg Nanny has been hosting an Ice Cream Social!  Two weeks of absurdly delectable ice cream concoctions. I know, right?

I was absolutely THRILLED when she asked me to participate and just knew I had to come up with something ridiculous to contribute.  Enter this carrot cake ice cream!!! Because what better way is there to enjoy your favorite cake than in ice cream form?  For the recipe, check out my post!

And if that isn’t enough dessert for you for one day, check out my post about Dorie’s Cardamom Crumb Cake on Marcus Samuelsson’s blog!

Yesterday morning before I left for the cruise.

I stress ran 8 miles.

Stress bought five jars of peanut butter to take with me (the Carnival Glory may cap the amount of alcohol you can take aboard at 1 bottle but they have not a single policy on peanut butter! They obviously don’t know who they’re dealing with.).

Stress made myself seasick (nausea, lightheadedness, orthostatic hypotension…I had it all).

These are the things that are not, I repeat NOT under any circumstances, happening in my life.

In 80 days, 12 hours, and 4 minutes, I will not be waking up at a thoroughly ungodly hour, heading on a bus to Staten Island and running 26.2 miles around the 5 boroughs of New York City.
