In Preparation

Last Friday we were celebrating the issuing of Nelson's first patent for IBM! Even though we had known about it for a while, it was exciting to see the framed certificate along with the prize money. So Nelson took me to a nice Italian eatery, Mediterraneo in Pleasantville to celebrate. The service was great and we were offered a complimentary bread basket that was really fresh. This seemed to be a family run restaurant with the owners coming up to greet many of their regular guests. Towards the middle of our meal, the restaurant was bustling with the city crowd coming in after work. We had two plates of antipasti to start with and ordered a pizza to share. The food and the atmosphere were great so we didn't mind the particularly long wait for our pizza.

On Saturday, the weather was gloomy with strong winds and thunder storms. After my literacy volunteer training in Mount Vernon, we headed to White Plains to do some shopping for house ware. We shopped at Bed, Bath & Beyond & The Container Store. It was hard buying things for our house since I didn't remember the details of the place. I was craving for some bubble tea later on, when we discovered that Juicy Sushi, a small sushi & bubble tea place that opened in White Plains last year was already closed. So we settled on getting some Indian takeout from Ambadi's and yummy cookies from Iron Tomato as we went home to pack.
