As this post goes live, we will be setting off on a fun adventure! The best part of which is the fact that Adam and I are both on vacation and can spend every second of the next 7 days together.  <– squee!

I wanted to get in a quick post of highlights from the past few days, 90% of which are beverages…

Iced coffee and an apple for breakfast.

Plus a cinnamon iced chai latte when I got to work.

We threw a surprise wedding shower for one of my dietetic coworkers and that’s where Friday’s lunch came from.

Plus an orange in my office.

Yes, it took me less than 2 weeks to kill that plant!

More coffee. This caramel macchiato from Dunkin was not good.

But this can of salted caramel cold brew was, especially paired with a chocolate pretzel bar for breakfast.

Coffee yogurt topped with honey and salty peanuts is always good.

As is coffee beer, like this yummy milk stout from Stone.

Last night we celebrated the start of vacation with a delicious dinner at Brooklyn Star.

That’s Dr Pepper with bourbon and bitters.

Spicy duck wings sauced with ground chili, honey, Coca Cola, and fried garlic.  We weren’t sure if it was Brooklyn Star’s superior frying technique or the fact that these were fatty, tasty duck instead of chicken, but these were the best wings we’ve ever had.

And a smoked escarole salad.

So smoky and good!  Jonah crab meat, pickled watermelon, Asian pear, heart of palm,  and parsnip chips.

Plus dessert at Milk Bar.

Cold brew and a cornflake marshmallow cookie. A sweet start to a fun week.
