There And Back (Again)

NYC weekend blitz wrapped up beautifully.  We had "second breakfast" yesterday in the company of our Brooklynite friend at this amazing pie place. These are pies like your grandma never made-- thick, hearty reinventions of old classics.  The Rosemary Honey Shoo-fly pie was exceptional and the Oatmeal Black Bottom was pretty damn good.  The Lemon Chess was a bit too light in texture for my idea of Chess Pie but was fine as a thing of its own.

Then we went up to Queens via taxi and dropped in on some more friends, who took us to a Mongolian Hot Pot place for lunch.  I'd been curious about this sort of food for about fifteen years, since one opened in a suburb of Memphis, and all I have to say is this must be what "Mongolian BBQ" wants to be and isn't.  Also it goes well with cheap beer, and I normally have no use for cheap beer.

Then we had Lemon Rosemary Sorbetto at the airport because we apparently hadn't eaten enough.

I'm enjoying the Jugdral Name Change aftermath. Celice predictably is the source of the varying degrees of butthurt, but seriously-- it's over.  I already revised my four most recent relevant 'fics to incorporate "Leif" and "Seliph" and quite honestly I like the way that's working.  Hopefully NoA'll do as likable a job with the Spotpass characters.

Apparently they took out the Mute option for the Avatar voices though?  Sucks.  That promised to be funny.
