Bagels & Lox

Two weeks ago, Muns (my nickname for Eric) asked if I had any time during weekend to meet up. He said the secret words... smoked fish. So we agreed to meet up on Sunday (Superbowl Sunday, to be exact) to catch up on life and indulge ourselves the Jewish-way: bagels & lox and everything in-between.

After H&H Bagels let me down (Not only was there a long line, but they ran out of Everything bagels and wouldn't have more for another 20 minutes), I went to Fairway to meet Muns. We got fresh cream cheese, freshly sliced lox, capers, red onion and coffee.

While my coffee press failed, the bagels were a success.

Armenian Food

A HUGE Thank You to Stephen's parents, especially his lovely mom, who threw him a surprise birthday party in Long Island last night, and for making an amazing spread of food for dinner. I believe it was my first Armenian meal, and hopefully not the last!

Steph's cannoli cake was also worth writing home about. It was moist and the filling didn't have those weird pieces of stuff in it like cannolis usually do.

His parents gave us this amazing yogurt that was more reminsicent of a sour cream (Note to self....need to get some)

AND I had a really good bagel this morning. Long Island just earned some brownie points.
