Crostini.

After spending a pretty awesome week with my best friend, today I went back to real life. Midterms have a whole new meaning when your taking an academic semester...papers, tests, and presentations galore! The restaurant I started working for opens this weekend- so all the employees are working and training like crazy. And today we had a first day of food tasting (probably the best part about working in a restaurant!). As I sit here now, in pajamas eating store brand cereal and silk milk (delicious) I realize how juvenile and simple the food I eat on a daily basis is! Today we tasted everything from chicken liver to butternut squash and garlic to ricotta and orange honey atop these beautiful little pieces of grilled ciabatta bread called Crostini! I feels good to know the restaurant I'm working at has delicious food! Not to mention incredible location. I've recently fallen in love with the walk from campus to work up west 4th street in the west village. The streets are tiny, filled with trees, coble stone streets, and little cafes. It's picturesque, quant, and a little neighbrohood of calm amidst the bustling streets of manhattan. I love it.
