Weekends are for eating

This weekend was another weekend of laziness. I felt pretty unmotivated to leave my apartment. My new roommates and I watched a movie or two on the projector, had a couple of beers, and cooked some food. And by cook, I mean I ordered a sandwich from a deli down the street.

On Friday I went out with some friends to Roberta's in Brooklyn, at the Morgan Ave stop off the L train. The food was excellent, and they had one of my favorite beers, Lagunitas IPA, on tap! I was very pleased. We ordered several things to share between us, a scallop dish with black onion and watermelon, a pasta dish with mussels and oysters, and a couple of great thin-crust pizzas, one margherita and one something delicious with sausage. Everything was excellent and fresh and tasty. Apparently the restaurant grows a lot of their own ingredients in their own garden, which is pretty cool. Definitely worth a return trip.

I am really looking forward to being back in Texas during winter break, although I'm not sure how long my break will be. Yannik and I have been talking about another freezing cold camping trip, and I'm very excited! Nothing sounds better than a few cold days in the mountains right now. Except for walking over the Brooklyn Bridge with Lydia. That is going to be the highlight of the fall! (Not trying to build it up too much, but it will be very cool.)
