It's time to celebrate, boys and girls!

First off, YAY!!! I developed my film today and they turned out MUCH, MUCH better than previous pictures. I'm a lot happier with this batch than the previous ones. With a little persistence and inspiration (thanks Alice!!), I'm starting to get where I want to be. I have quite a ways to go but it's comforting knowing that I've made at least some progress.

These are from La Madeline. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not the biggest fan of this place. Everyone always raves about it, but for some reason, every time I go, I always order something I'm not too fond of. That day I ordered a house favorite... the chicken parisien. It was okay. Nothing spectacular. I felt that it was a little too heavy, too early in the morning. I only ate half the sandwich :( Fortunately, we ordered the tomato basil soup, which never disappoints. All in all, it was an okay visit. This place is slowly, emphasis on slowly, growing on me. I'd still rather go somewhere else for food.

The second food stop of the day was at The Chocolate Bar. Ever since the last cold front came through, I've been DYING for some off the hook hot chocolate. So the funny thing about the hot chocolate is that it comes in this teeny, tiny cup. 4 oz. to be exact. When they first gave it to me I thought that they had mistakenly given me a sample cup. But I slowly realized that the hot chocolate that they make is so rich that 4 oz. is MORE than enough. I barely finished it. And to top it all off, we ordered some turtle cheesecake. It was really good at first but the more I ate it the more I felt like I was eating butter. The cheesecake literally melted in my mouth and it felt so fattening. I'm ashamed to say this but I only ate like 4 bites. I still love this place. It's the chocolate go to location here :)
