Sejal is the cutest and bought me an adorable present while she was in Japan. It plays a Whole New World which is really cute!!!!

But honestly, the envelope absolutely made my day ❤ Thanks sej!!!! You’re the best!!!

I kept meaning to post this but kept forgetting. My supervisor Desi made me a birthday cake for… well my birthday! Isn’t she the best??? It was a lemon almond cake. It also disappeared extremely quickly!

  

Happy Birthday Shreya

This past week, shreya’s husband planned a surprise birthday party for Shreya! It was super sweet and I hope she was surprised! 

I decided to make a caprese pasta salad!    

Mark made the most beautiful quiche I have ever seen! It was a spinach quiche and it was delicious!       

 

 And the cake was phenomenal! It was a chocolate Nutella cake. Mmm  

  

Dinner Parties and Other Shenanigans

Yesterday was my friend Sejal’s birthday, so for lunch we headed over to Hip City Veg, a vegetarian restaurant right next to the school. The food was absolutely amazing! One of the guys in my class has actually gone there three times… and he isn’t even vegetarian!

I had their version of the Philly Cheese Steak. Though it doesn’t taste like a cheese steak, I thought it was amazing on its own. It was like the healthy alternative of cheese steak. I know that this is usually where I insert a photo of said food item but I was really hungry… and I might have gotten a little overwhelmed with school starting….

But here’s gorgeous Sejal with her birthday cupcake

Later that evening we headed over to Mad Mex for dinner and margaritas. Except they have the weirdest rule that if not everyone at the table has ID then nobody can have alcohol. I’ve never heard of a rule like that before and we were wondering if it was to prevent underage drinking since it’s in the university area. Anyways Liz and I split a giant platter of nachos

Sorry, the lighting is absolutely terrible mainly because they insist on only lighting the restaurant with these baby pepper lights. Completely adorable but completely useless.

We had tons of fun and most of the class came out to celebrate!

Tonight we also had a dinner party. Mark made curry tonight and it was heavenly! We invited some people over to the house and it was a blast!

I’m super happy that my house is so awesome!
