Dayenu!
Virtual Seder 2020 – “Next year together!”
Dayenu! Passover 2020
a BuHi V-Day
For Valentine’s Day 2020, Scott and I took the day off work and headed to Buford Highway. In case you didn’t know, this ~6 mile stretch of highway in Doraville is considered to be THE place to go for international food and culinary diversity in Atlanta. You can find everything from Szechuan mapo tofu to Bangladeshi shawarma. Ever wanted to try Malaysian food? Buford Highway has got you covered.
We started our day at Paris Baguette for coffee and pastries.
Next stop (and a MUST DO whenever you’re on that side of town): the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market [5600 Buford Highway]. The first thing to know about the farmer’s market is that it’s not actually a farmer’s market. It’s a supermarket. An amazing 100,000 square foot supermarket with fruits you’ve never seen in person before…
You can find dragon fruit.
New Orleans, 2020
“Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?”
– Louis Armstrong
I didn’t know what it meant to miss New Orleans until this January. I’d been to the zoo there as a child, but had little to no memory of it — and Scott had never visited. Despite this, I had a fondness for NOLA already due to growing up in Mobile, AL, the only other city that respects Mardi Gras as much as New Orleans. I figured it would be love at first sight, and it was.
We stumbled across these (real) mid-century lamps in a shop on Conti Street.
And I adored pouring over the bottles in an 1800s pharmacy.
Hot Chocolate Race Review
What can I tell you about the Allstate Chocolate 15k/5k race? For starters, they’ve got the best race swag in town! Check out the jackets, you guys. I will run this race JUST for that jacket…
This a national race series with events in several major cities. Each Hot Chocolate race features both a 15k (9.3miles) and 5k (3.1miles). You get the jacket / chocolate snacks either way (along with your entry fee). The medals vary based on which distance you complete. The race benefits the Make A Wish Foundation.
The snacks at the end of the race are hard to beat. We’re talking real melted chocolate, hot cocoa, a banana, a rice krispy treat, a marshmellow, a cookie straw, a nuun wafer… they also recently upgraded from a plastic mug to a biodegradable one. Bravo!
