Terra Blue Chips


JetBlue is definitely one of my favourite airlines in the US. It amuses me that one of the snacks they serve is "blue" chips. They are made from potatoes that are naturally blue. The first time I heard about these chips were when my folks flew JetBlue in 2006 from New York to Orlando. Mom was also quite fascinated by them, because she didn't finish her bag of chips so she could save some for me to see and try :) shucksss! Moms!!!!

Hazelnut Espresso Cookie


Fancy Cakes By Leslie, in downtown Bethesda has some delicious cookies and cupcakes. I usually get one of the cookies they have baked. Today, we got the Hazelnut Espresso Cookie that was positivelyyyyyy DIVINE. I think the only complaint I have about it is that they don't have a fixed menu, so I have NO idea when I can get this cookie next. It makes me VERY sad.

Salmon Green Apple Carpaccio at Raku


I was a moron and I forgot to write down the description (or the correct name) of this starter. It is on the specials menu, so I can't find the description online either. But, if you go to Raku and see this on the menu, GET IT! It was FANTASTIC! Smita and I were trying to eat the sauce with chopsticks!!!!!!!! once we were done with the carpaccio. The dish has, sweet, spicy, savoury and perhaps umami flavour as well! A beautiful blend and explosion for taste in your mouth! 

16 Handles


With a Groupon for 16 handles, we headed to get some FroYo from work. Their European Tart flavour is my favourite and for once I actually REALLLLY liked a flavoured froyo, the Green Apple one. Amongst their toppings, I really like the cheesecake one. :)

Capitol Grounds Coffee


Since I was at the airport SO early, I wanted coffee. I went to Capital Grounds Coffee and got their Coffee Frappe with Mocha flavour. THE B.E.S.T Frappe I have ever had...mmmmmmmmmm

Boarding Area Access


When I went to the airport to see nani off today :( I was pleasantly surprised when the lady at the check-in counter gave me boarding area access. I didn't ask for it, but since nani was on a wheel chair, she thought it was silly that I didn't think I would be given that access. Yay!!! for spending more time with nani!

Nani, of course, was being her silly self and saying things like "Oh, you will have to walk back so much???" and when we got halfway between security and the gate, "You can go back now, you don't need to come all the way". *shakes head

New Setting For The Hope Diamond

 Old Setting

New Setting

I went with nani to the Natural History Museum today. They have changed the setting of the Hope Diamond from the last time I saw it, in 2006. In 2008, 50 years after it was put in the setting I had seen it, it was changed to the current setting.
