Snowy Saturday afternoon with this.

I can't remember the last time a guy ever cooked for me, if ever at all. It's so great to just sit and watch him do his business for once. I think I like this one, I just might keep him. Hahaha!

Jokes aside, I'm sitting with a bag of BBQ chips and a glass of bourbon waiting for my mussel dinner. I am not lifting a finger for this meal and after an 11-hour work day, I can't help but feel blessed.

This is going to be a fun, fun weekend. Enjoy Halloween!

Sunday morning was met by a sudden craving for Pho and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Vien was particularly craving them from one particular restaurant in Queens so we hauled our asses all the way from Brooklyn and braved through the mad subway service changes and track work being done over the weekend. About an hour and a half and 4 subway rides later, we were snarfing down hot bowls of pho and spring rolls with iced coffee. Very few words were exchanged while we nurse our hangovers with steaming, delicious broth.

After lunch, we hopped on a cab to go see Omar, who was expecting us for the day. As soon as we walked in the apartment, we were greeted by a tray of multicolored cupcakes with a special note attached...

Now Vien knows why Omar will always be my #1. 

We took him to go see Real Steel (which was blah and doesn't deserve more space in this post). The movie was followed by a quick dinner with Tita Chon at Jackson Hole Diner because Vien was craving for their huge 7oz burgers. 

Benny is back from his 3-week european tour so we met up with him and other friends for a drink before we called it a night.

Vien hung out with Santi and I the next day...

V looks extra chinky here because I pretty much forced him
to get out of bed to hang with us.

We missed the $1 oyster happy hour at Cornelius after work but that didn't stop us from ordering a dozen of them to share and enjoyed with a bowl of fries and beer. I must remember to go back there on a weekend so we can make it to happy hour and chug down a lot more of those. Yum!

The whole purpose of going on a Facebook vacation is to do more blogging, among other things. But I haven't been writing as much and I'm feeling a bit sheepish because I've been kind of busy.

This is why...

...and I shall leave it with that for now.
