my first.

sometimes i need to get out of my littled sheltered life. try something new. this is something im not very good at given that my family, more like my dad goes to the same resturant when we go out to eat. Rio Grande, The Pie, Pei Wei, Cafe Rio, this list goes on. that is boring. Just the other day i returned from a trip to the east coast with my good friend Jessica. We ate are familiar places, but we also tried to to go with something new. When you go to NYC you have to eat at Grimaldi's thats a given and of course we did or Serendipity (MMmmm. my favorite) but we also tried some places that people told us to go to. Like Carnegie Deli, i have had the pleasure to go to New York City twice before this trip and i have never eaten there. can i say. YUMMY. one of thee best sandwiches ever. We also tried a rice pudding place called Rice to Riches (if you seen Hitch and know the movie well like i do, its in the movie) its a place that has different flavors of rice pudding. My favorite Caramel catagory 5 and Honey Graham Cracker. So good. We also ate at Sarabeths (thanks brother Nathan for telling us about that last two places) Instead of going with the norm, french toast with strawberries, i went with the pumkins waffle with pumpkin seeds and raisins. DELICOUS! my point is. you need to get out of your comfort zone not only with food but with life in general, trying something new. something that i need to work on. So i am setting a goal for myself. Every month i am going to try something new, something that i would never do. for the month of September. I am running my first marathon in less than two weeks! that is way out there. its not too big of a step given that i run half marathons, but come on its 26 miles. its a good start, right?
