Happy Valentine's Day, Love Mom

One of my coworkers was surprised on Valentine's Day when his mom sent a big box of cupcakes to the office. We all made fun of him, of course.

They were some tasty cupcakes, though.

Dinner

Dinner

You know, when I'm at home I don't much care for grilling--standing around my back yard by myself just never strikes me as a good time. Something about being out in nature, though, makes it a lot more appealing. In this case, though, not so appealing that I wasn't just fine with my friend taking care of the whole thing. It was for the best, really--my grilling results are decidedly inconsistent.

Pastrami Burger

Pastrami Burger

Yes, that is a cheeseburger with pastrami on it. The restaurant where I took this picture opened in my junior or senior year of college, and since I ate there many times back then, it's only natural that it was one of the stops on the nostalgia tour that was my alumni weekend. The burger didn't hurt me nearly as much as I thought it might.

Oh, and that plate of fries you can kind of see in the background? I mistakenly ordered two of them--one for me and one for Juliette--since that was the small size. I ate the whole thing, of course.
