Holla for Yalla

After movie lunch @ Yalla Yalla

Beruit street food.
A small, intimate restaurant with dine in and takeaway options. You can also get Mezze to share.
Hi Vivian!
I shouldn't even bother taking pictures with my Iphone. So blurry!!
Hommos and pita. The hommos was a perfect consistency. Smooth and velvety with a good balance of olive oil to chickpeas.
 Garlic dip and some sort of spicy sauce for the wraps. I recommend mixing the two together.
Vivian and I each got a wrap and split it because sharing is caring!! The Batata Harra had spicy potato with red pepper, chili, garlic, cumin, tomato and picked cucumber. The chicken taouk had charcoal grilled marinated chicken skewer with garlic sauce, lettuce and pickled cucumber. Both were delicious but shocker, I might have preferred the vegetarian wrap. It reminded me of a patatas bravas dish I always order at Spanish restaurants. 

Quote from Easy A-"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie, preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."

Cupcake for breakfast

Don't mind the mess on the plate, I had toast and eggs prior to the cupcake.

The red velvet cupcakes at Hummingbird bakery is DA BOMB. Yes. I'm bringing it back. Da bomb. So moist and the cream cheese frosting so decadant.
Hey at least I left some of the frosting!

Sugar rush to get me through a 6.78 mile run through Regent's Park.
Such a mild fall day. I was running in my tank top at one point. Amaazeeballs!
I heart swans.

After my run, I popped in my fitness coach and did 30 minutes of core body work.
New glassware for my smoothie. Yes, I know it's a port glass. I have a weird fascination with drinking things in wineware. It's so much more fun this way. I assure you.

T's birthday surprise
Enjoy the last year in your 20's!!
Unfortunately, he didn't come home til 1:30 a.m. last night. Guess that's just your typical night as an S&C lawyer. Booo!!!!!
