Trader Joe's 2

The other day I found this at Trader Joe's.

Sugar, chocolate & coffee bean grinder...

Isn't it great idea?
It was hiding in the shelf of all spices which I always checking but this time I found this for the first time!!!
And I tried with ice cream first as they suggested.


But the ice cream by itself was already so rich and flavorful so I couldn't taste this new product...
So this morning I tried with toasted bread with butter. And it was so good!!
This made toast slightly sweet and coffee and chocolate flavor. Which was just perfect for the morning!!

Spring Street Natural

The other day I went to the restaurant I went when I came to NY for the first time.
It was nice going back there. It was 2.5 years ago but I remembered everything there even which seat I got.

I had swordfish last time but I saw someone was having vegetable rice bowl so I had it this time.
And what I liked here the most was the bread they served. And still their bread was the same and carrot one was still sooooo good!!!

When I came here for the first time I couldn't understand the menu, how to tip and everything but now 2 years has past after I moved here and I was sentimental to think about it when I was there.

Sprry about the plastic bag... haha

This carrot bread is awesome!!!

Crazy Stupid Love

Today after work I went to watch this movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK68Y3oMEk8
When I saw this trailer on TV, I didn't think I would like this movie but when my roommates watched it, they said I would love this movie!! Just after I heard that I went.
Then....
They were right!!! I LOVE it!!!
It was unexpected movie...
And after I came home, I watched my DVD "Lars and the real girl" again...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1XxILVnt1w
Today was Ryan Gosling day for me... lol

And it's funny but this "Lars and the real girl" has different title in Japan.
It's "ラースとその彼女"="Lars and his girlfriend"....
When you watch this movie, you will know but this titles have totally opposite meanings...
Isn't it funny? I prefer original title "Lars and the real girl" though:)

The Help

Yesterday I went to watch the movie "The Help".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_ajv_6pUnI
It was the first day so there were so many audiences.
This movie told us not only fun episode of history in USA. But they made this movie comedy. So it was so fun to watch and while I was watching I laughed a lot. And at the same time I could see the complicate history of this country. I think depends on your back ground and experiences, the impression of this movie would be changed. But that's why it's worth watching!!!
And it's fun to watch with laughing out loud with every other audiences too.

After movie finished, I really wanted to eat Mimi's fried chicken!!!
Where is the good place to get traditional good fried chicken in NYC?? :)


O'crepes

The crepe place where I went today was O'crepe.
http://o-crepes.com/

I ordered back wheat crepe with chicken, sun dried tomato,  feta cheese and cilantro.

Isn't it cool?

And they were shooting!!!
