WE DID NOT BUY THOSE DRESSES

First of all, we would like to clarify a few things. We did not buy either of the dresses pictured, nor did we ever even consider buying them. We repeat, WE DID NOT BUY THE DRESSES IN THE LAST POST. Also, by no means is this blog a complete recording of our daily activities. We thought that it would not interest you to read every detail of the work we do, and we want to save all the juicy gelato secrets for the presentation. We may play hard, but we also work hard. It's like college.

Today we decided to share our love of gelato with two of Louisa's friends, who live in and around the city. We met Rachel and Skye at Grand Central Station, walked around the area for a little while, and then went out to lunch. We had saved what is generally known as the best gelato in the city for them, so after we ate we headed down to Il Laboratorio del Gelato. However, Cecilia AGAIN had problems with her Metrocard (this is starting to get annoying) and had to go ask the MTA officer what to do. She told her to just go through the service gate. Maybe we should have only bought one card and done that from the beginning! We then waited at least twenty minutes for a subway, after accidentally trying to get on the F train to Queens (AGAIN... what is this obsession with the F train to Queens?).

Il Laboratorio del Gelato certainly lived up to its reputation, though you'll have to wait for June 1st to get the whole scoop (no pun intended). Just know that there were some interesting flavors and large portions.

Afterwards, another grueling afternoon of prom dress shopping. This time Louisa devoted all her time and energy to helping Cecilia, who was desperate. This time we tackled Bloomingdales, as well as several other stores, but once again yielded no results. We then headed back uptown to have dinner at the apartment. Rick made several delicious Malaysian dishes in honor of his wife Anne's birthday and the Pughs' return to New York City. Roger and Anne's sister Besty also was present, as were an Austrian couple staying at the apartment, Valerie and Valentin. To say the least, it's a full house tonight. The Malaysian food was followed but some decadent chocolate cake and fruit sorbets. It was a night of delicious food and great conversation.
