Ivar’s Acres of Clams on the Seattle waterfront. Pretty much the best clam chowder in the universe.

The Jonses took us out to Cold Stone Creamery. It’s pretty awesome really. i had the guys mix up a chocolate, chocolate and chocolate ice-cream with chocolate brownies, dipped in chocolate with chocolate… okay… you get the idea. Super nice.

A gingerbread house!

The rink looked nice the night before so we thought we’d go for another skate at Bryant Park. I’m happy to announce that it was here that I also finally found another place that makes a decent coffee, taking the grand total to four.

Alice’s Tea Cup - a block off Central Park on W 73rd. They have a tea menu that’s longer than most restaurant’s normal menus. I ordered coffee. They gave me tea. I sent it back and got coffee on the second attempt.

Thanksgiving dinner #2: with our community group. Notable curiosities included turkey wrapped in bacon (Ron Swanson would approve) and a sweet potato bake topped with marshmallows.

Thanksgiving: a time to eat as much as you can in one day whilst trying not to pass out or otherwise embarrass yourself in public. This was the first of a comparatively modest number of two Thanksgiving dinners we went to on the day. This one was generously hosted at D’Agostino (the other Law School Res) by the Law School and unapologetically consumed by all the Law students.

So, I like lots of chocolate and Erie likes Macadamia nuts and hey… whaddaya know? A healthy compromise from Vermont’s Finest. 

Primorski in Brighton Beach a.k.a. Little Russia for Michael’s birthday. An altogether educational experience.

Meeting Jensen:) It’s so far away over here…
