It was a most unusual February because it never got cold and never snowed but I wasn't complaining as I went to the Latke Hamantaschen debate and saw Ricky Silberman '13 who is the president of CJL

We had a visit from Beth Holtz from OIT to our staff luncheon and then we celebrated Kris' birthday and mine with this carrot cake.

I took the train into New York for dinner at Dirt Candy where the waitress warmly welcomed Paul and me as I showed off my ability to take profile photos before we read the menu and ordered hush puppies which Paul demonstrated before the bread arrived followed by my pepper and his cabbage and then my pepper was fully assembled as my corn and his cauliflower arrived and then at dessert we ordered the unique rosemary eggplant tiramisu where the cotton candy was amazing. The next morning, Jane and I went out for coffee and a small bite and I nearly killed myself by trying this sauce which was quite spicy hot.
