Leaving for Trinidad
I am leaving for Trinidad this weekend for a close friend's wedding. I'm excited but a bit apprehensive, mostly about the heat and the prospect of being bitten up by bugs (I've never been to the Caribbean or any warm beachy location before). I'm also not too excited about the weather forecast:
I really hope showers just means occasional or evening showers. All I know is the weather better be good in Tobago because we only have a few days in Tobago and all our plans there won't be enjoyed too much or possible in rainy weather. I also spent a fortune on snorkeling equipment that I really hope I get to use.
In other news, I finally got new glasses! I've only spent nearly a year and a half looking and my search has actually spanned the globe, or at least two continents (NY, LA, San Francisco, Paris). I am really that picky but I also found that most of the optical stores I checked out here in NYC tended to have the same kinds of frames. The ironic thing though is that the glasses I bought really aren't that much different from the glasses I had.

Yakitori Totto
I think I'm going to try posting about food more often since Adam and I love food and I think some of the places we eat out at are worth writing about. Tonight, we went to Yakitori Totto, a popular Japanese yakitori restaurant in midtown which specializes in chicken. We love Yakitori Totto but the wait can be substantial if you don't make reservations. I forgot to make reservations until about an hour before they opened today so I ran there after work so we could get seats at the bar. My efforts paid off--tonight's dinner was sooo good. Highly recommended are the negima (chicken thigh and scallion), the skirt steak, and the tsukune (organic chicken meatball). I also ordered a chicken and rice dish which is cooked over a low flame for about thirty minutes. I love the combination of chicken and rice but this one was not as good as the yakitori. I wish I had some photos to share but, of course, the one time I should have brought my camera to a restaurant, I forgot to!
