last day amanda uprichard sale

*
after a lazy post-call afternoon of locanda verde brunch (more laters) and a visit to the tofu-man on mott st (more laters), i decided to drop by the amanda uprichard sale. last day. last 10 minutes.

all apparel $10.

2 tunics = $20 (w.a.S.!)

the organizers also told shoppers to grab some dresses from the box that was on the floor on our way out. okie, then, will do.

amanda uprichard for barney's co-op dresses = free

truth be told, i'm not even sure i like these dresses. but, free is free. and gifting can be fun.

bammies and such

*
i miss the beach.



lots of eating of the jamaican food...

(for brekkie) ackee and salted cod

the jamaican national dish. ackee...a fruit related to the lychee and longan. yummy, yummy.

bammy (fried)

fried cassava, that's bammies. not only do i like the name, it's pretty taste-y, too.

conch fritters

these were good, too. i just wish they had more conch, and less batter.

the name kinda says it all.

the pit.

jerk pork

jerk chicken

quintessential jamaican food.

peanut punch

too afraid to try this drink. but i just liked the box.

size 0 dress selection is thinned out... the leather leggings were apparently sold out the first day. there were a few nice sweaters and tops as well, but again, few size 0's. i wish i had gone on the first day to see the full selection... ugh. but was stuck in transit at the philly airport. which i now hate. what kind of airport takes 1 hr to de-ice a plane?!

app: lobster bisque

main 1: lobster
