This past week has been complete bliss, even if it was too expensive to flee the cold and hide out in the Caribbean. (Barbados is only 3 hours away, warmth here I come!)
Manuel had the New Year's week off. Despite the bitter cold we've been out and about, exploring the city, roaming through Central Park, getting together with new friends, and wining and dining the nights away.
We know someone who has a Swiss restaurant, Cafe Select, so we decided to go there for a friend's goodbye dinner. Being Swiss the obvious choice was cheese fondue: a mixture of Gruyère, Raclette (!) and Emmentaler cheese. It worked, and we enjoyed a very light, not really creamy, yet overall tasty concoction.
For all those scratching their head wondering: "I thought she was lactose intolerant?!" Yes... I had Wiener Schnitzel instead.
I've sort of started using Pinterest. Not sure I am a fan though.
