Last weekend was great. We went to a great Japanese tapas restaurant in Atlantic City and then played with money I don't have. Gambling is a funny business. The chandelier in the Borgata is amazing, though.
Saturday we went to Sea Isle. It was a perfect, beautiful day for the beach. I almost got laughed off the beach for applying SPF 70 four times in five hours, but I care not. I didn't get burnt! A few unrelated items:
Mark Bittman's list of 101 Simple Salads is basic but clever. It inspires me to eat more salads and get more creative in their making.
I saw Brüno the other night. Not a good movie. I'm wondering what the point was... social commentary? Were they making fun of middle America or of homosexual Austrians? Did he REALLY go to the Middle East in those get-ups? Is Paula Abdul REALLY as dumb as she acts? There were a few funny moments but a lot of it was legitimately offensive. Did anyone see it and enjoy it?
Amanda Blank is on the cover of City Paper this week. I had no idea who she was before I skimmed the article, but I really picked it up because the photo shoot for her article was at my very favorite ice cream parlor and chocolate shop, Scoop Deville! Anyone craving sweets in Philly should head here first. Contact me if you'd like me to wax poetic the wonders of Scoop Deville. I love it there.
Have a great day. Cross your fingers that my computer is still working tomorrow!

Welcome back. Loved the chandelier AND the beach photo. I'm not really seeing what's funny about the sunscreen though. Just kidding. You're worse than me!
The chandelier is totally cool. And please put Scoop Deville on the list of places to visit in Philly on Monday. We can go there instead of lunch.
Yum!
Hey, I need your addy.
Mark Bittman is a GOD among men. His "How to Cook Everything" is the only reason that my roomates and I ate our senior year of college. His guac recipe is the one I use, with some tinkering..
