Plus it’s Friday, so there’s that

Favorite Surprise
cookie
My coworker Claire is such a sweetie and brought me back this (half) cookie from New York last weekend. She was out of the office on Monday, and I helped her out by doing some of her work for her while she was away. To thank me she brought me this delicious buttery sprinkle cookie, which I loved! She is going to California in a few weeks and promised to bring me back and even better one from Katella Deli. She is too sweet! (So is the cookie!)

jackAhhh. A face only a mother would love

Favorite Side Dish
saladI know I mentioned this to you guys on Wednesday, but I have been loving dataset salads this week. I always like salads, but with the addition of these crunchy garlicky crutons and leftovers from other nights’ dinners (sweet corn!!!) they have been even better. I’m definitely on a salad kick this week…let’s see how long it lasts (my guess is ’til the bottom of the cruton bag…)
Favorite Baby Shower Dish
cookiesTwo of the women I work with are expecting babies in late September/early October, and to celebrate our team is hosting a baby shower for them next Monday (the 26th). I am having trouble deciding what to bake/bring, and was thinking these cookies may need to make a reappearance. Any thoughts?
Favorite Lunch Outing
cupcakeOne of my other coworkers celebrated her birthday this week so a group of us went out to lunch at Roti to celebrate. It was a gorgeous day (like 75 degrees and sunny) and we had so much fun sitting around chatting. It’s not often that I can leave my desk for that long (work is insane, as always) so it was really nice to get away. My coworker offered to share her birthday cupcake with us, and split it into seven equal pieces so we could all have a bite. Isn’t that nice? I’m not sure I’d be so generous, ha. Anyway, the Roti was delicious (I got a salad) but the cupcake was even better. It was from Crumbs, which you guys know is my fav.
