S and I ventured out into the ice cold temperatures this weekend (today's high is 7). I was so giddy because we had a snow day last Friday - three day weekend! - and we thought a saturday morning breakfast would be just the perfect was to start a technically extended weekend. Braving the poorly-plowed roads and the single digit cold made it all the more fun! I ~~stupidly~~ took my jacket off for these pictures, hehe. But I love my cozy Lou and Grey cardigan from Loft. I basically lived in it all winter break - it's comfy, and I love the heathered oatmeal color. Definitely wearing it to work this week, as my room is freezing and there are no more snow days (at least for now)...

ciao! xo

pizza at tacconelli's

I think it's funny that I didn't even take pictures of the pizza - it is just too good to wait to eat it. For our family, it is a special place (more of a tradition) to visit, since its where my grandparents met. The ambience, and for me, imagining what that 1940s December night must have been like, is pure magic. That's when my grandparents met - right over the jukebox, where my sisters are pictured above. And plus, the pizza is just out-of-this-world fantastic. Crisp and thin crusted, just how I like it. If you ever go, make sure you call ahead - there are certain things you just need to know before you go - such as reserving your dough. It is all made fresh that day and baked in the huge brick oven, one at a time. Everything is worth the wait!

I can't wait to take my friends here - the more, the merrier. I have my favorite pizza places around home, but this counts as one of my all-time favorites (even including Italy…I know).
