Mangia and Mexicana Mama

I know. I'm very behind.

Dave is still mad I didn't show you our dinner at OTTO. I've been there a few times so I didn't want to bore you but it was delicious as usual.

I'll also have you know he constantly tells me I am behind in my posting. I told him he should guest post and one day he just might take me up on it so stay tuned. :)

We split this pizza for an appetizer.

QUATTRO STAGIONI TOMATO, MOZZARELLA, SWISS CHARD, MUSHROOMS, PEPPERS, COTTO

Each quarter was a different topping.



Dave had:

RIGATONI CON SAUSAGE & ESCAROLE - GARLIC, ESCAROLE, SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE



I had:

LINGUINE ALLA CARRETTIERA - MARKET PLUM TOMATO, BLACK PEPPER, GARLIC CHIVES AND BASIL



Dave had an itty bitty baby coffee. I may or may not have, but definitely did talk about his coffee using a very small voice.



Mint Chocolate Chip, Dark Chocolate, Caramel Gelato



Then on Thurs morning I made omlettes for Dave and myself. I went to see Eat Pray Love (I liked it) with the girls and to Mexicana Mama Centro



I had 2 margaritas - some chips and salsa and a chicken mole burrito.






Friday night I went to a birthday party at The Perfect Pint - east side location.

Happy birthday Mac!!




The shrimp cocktail was fantastic.



I also had fries which were also fantastic.

Saturday I went to Zumba, bought my bus ticket to meet Dave and the kids in PA on Wed, and then went out to LI where I met my mom and Jen for dinner. Yesterday I met my little Cooper and she is BEAUTIFUL. I'll have more pictures to share soon.

I'm also eager to share my plans to work off the 10 lbs I gained over the summer and get the last 10 I wanted to lose to get to goal. The simple solution is 'eat less, move more' and go back to see M on a more regular basis. This will happen after MY birthday in a few weeks.

Or maybe it's in 10 days - but who's counting. ;)

  1. Everything looks so good and the teeny tiny coffee thing was cracking me up.

  2. It was all delicious. If you ever get to NYC I highly recommend OTTO. Very good food and VERY affordable.

    Dave ordered a coffee like that on our...second date I think it was. I wanted to say something then but I waited till he knew me better. He's so tall that the little coffee cup looks quite comical.

    I understand it's about the TYPE of coffee being served but that won't stop me. :)
