Just back from Paris!

Time just doesn't wait for anyone, does it? Our vacation photo set.

1. First meal back in NYC. Home-cooked with a Hawai'i state of mind. A forever staple: spam, eggs and rice. I used to have this for breakfast multiple times a week. And to think now it's only on such rare occasions!

2. It doesn't feel like we're officially back until we've Otto'ed. Delivery the first evening and then a midnight dinner at the following night. Two seats at the bar. Prosecco, yes. Heirloom Caprese salad, the ever lush Sformato di Parmigiano, and Taccozette con Stracotto to share.

Paris and Brittany posts to come soon! Just need to catch up on this jet-lag, and somehow re-register back into reality ;) Hope everyone had a great weekend!
