breakfast
It's my favorite meal of the day. If we didn't need fiber and protein, I'd have french toasts and waffles for all three meals! Hey, does the fiber in the fruit toppings count?

oh so delicious
Two perfect words that describe my perfect cup of coffee...
I'm not a fancy gal. A simple, fresh cup of coffee with a bit of non-fat milk is all I ask for. No chocolate, caramel syrup, cinnamon, or whatever people add to their caffeinated drinks. But spending $2.15 for one large cup of black coffee on a daily basis was putting a big dent in my bank account! So, a good friend got me this pretty thing for Christmas. Now, I can't stop making coffee several times a day!! Ah, simple things make me so happy =)

have a very sweet weekend
Slightly imperfect-looking macarons, but oh-so delicious nonetheless. And you gotta have something healthy to "balance" your treats =)

celebrate!
What a wonderful night this was! We celebrated finishing our last day of rheumatology fellowship at Cafe Santorini. The roof-top patio was really cozy, the weather was perfect, the food and drinks were yummy, and the company was just fabulous!
It took us almost a decade since medical school to get to where we are now, so as you can imagine, we were beyond thrilled. I think I'm still in a bit of shock =) These colleagues of mine were some of the most wonderful, hard-working, and funny people I've worked with. Thanks for the good times, guys! Will really miss you!
Here's Liz, probably cracking one of her many funny jokes, and Darice looking so entranced =)
The junior fellows surprised us with these gifts. There was a personalized engraved plate on each. The joke was that we were all honored as "Fellow of the Year" (it's a very special honor - I plan to use it on my resume, haha!)
Yeah, keep those drinks comin'! Except after two glasses, I broke into a rash that stayed on for more than 24 hours.
