Mozzarella & Vino @MozzarellaeVino #TastyTuesday

We had the wonderful experience of lunch at Mozzarella & Vino where in case you don’t know by now, the water buffalo run free!! We were there for lunch and arrived a little early so we had our choice of the outside seating. Lucky for us because within 15 minutes the place a packed outside and in.

While we were looking through the menu, we enjoyed a crisp, cold glass of Prosecco. Cheers!

With the friendly help of the staff we started off with the famous Buffalo Mozzarella trio with tomatoes and a cool and so tasty citrus and avocado salad with fennel, olives in a mint dressing. The famous mozzarella had three distinct flavors and each delicious on their own.  You know we also did a number on the fresh bread and olive oil on the table. Amazing.

We could not make us our mind about the main course and our waiter saw this and after asking us if we were allergic to anything (we are not)  recommended that we let him surprise us. I mean how much fun is that? We both agreed and enjoyed a glass of red wine while we waited.  Out came the Lasagna of the day, filled with fresh pasta, eggplant, zucchini and mushrooms – oh my! With this he also brought us a plate of homemade meatballs.

Everything was fresh and delicious. We thanked our waiter for the excellent choices and we started making plans to come back here with our families. Then for a split second we thought about skipping dessert because we were so full.  Merci looked at me and said “Let’s ask the waiter to surprise us again” What a brain storm. That Merci, she is pretty and smart. We shared the Tiramisu and the Vanilla Panna Cotta with Berries and yes we ate the whole thing.

There was absolutely no room for coffee. Maybe next time 🙂

Bon Appetit. Mangiare. Dig In.

The Adventures of Alexander T. Frog by Michael Brian O’Hara #bookworm

Say hello to a most colorful, animal friendly and educational picture book The Adventures of Alexander T. Frog. My little guy loves to hear about the adventures of Alexander and learning that it is okay to be yourself and we all are not the same and we don’t all have the same talents. Horses run fast. Bunnies can hop. Birds can fly. Butterflies float. We are all perfect the way we are.  I never get tired reading this story to this sweet face, in fact he tells me what is going on before I finish the sentence. Reading to a child is a gift for you.

Foto Friday #GrandMothersLove

Is she not precious!  Not a question, just a fact.  🙂  A grandma’s fact.  First born and first to steal our hearts.  She still steals it except now she throws it back. LOL!  

But this guy, Christian, he is our special delight!  The second born, and second to none.  This little guy has brought so much to our family table.  He brings what only a little boy can bring, that special joy!

OK, don’t know why Sophie is hugging a mannequin in this picture. I’m sure she had a reason, like someone asked her to do that.   What a look she would give you if she was asked to do a mannequin hug today.   HA!

How cute they are!  Always seeming to get along.  Brother and sister doing fun things together.  They have  Jason in the front of house for Halloween.  Halloween gives them a SCREAM of a time.

Now we scream,  “Sophie, Christian STOP FIGHTING.”

CARAVAN STYLIST STUDIO #RUNWAY #GLAMOUR #ROCKWHATYOUGOT

Caravan Stylist Studio  was the perfect place for both Liz and I to be treated like we were about to hit the runway.

I received the hair glamour treatment, and the Caravan stylist gave my hair the treatment it needed.  She knew exactly what products would help keep my dry, frizzy hair under control.  The OGX hair care products she used were  perfect to accomplish the stylist objective, to make my unmanageable hair into manageable hair.   When hair was done, I knew that this coiffure was me.  

 Liz received the makeup treatment. I watched as the Caravan Stylist applied the makeup.   Liz (the canvas), stylist (the painter), and slowly the transformation began to emerge.   Transformed  with Mustaev_USA she went  from everyday gal to the glam girl!

  Amazing!!

 

Caravan Stylist Studio is located inside The Gregory Hotel in New York City.
