Food, Glorious Food

I decided to experiment on Tuesday night for dinner. I had pasta the night before and didn't want to make it again. I asked my favorite culinary queen, Meggin Elizabeth, if she had any suggestions to make. My condition was it needed to be easy. Without hesitation she proclaimed taco salad. I stopped at Shaws on the way home to get the necessary ingredients and lo and behold, this is what came out:

I'm pretty pleased with myself, and the presentation also gets an A+. Apologies for the poor quality, I took it with the blackberry. Other good news? It tasted pretty damn good too! Next time you come to the College Ave Mansion, maybe I'll make it.

Last night was the MOS staff preview for Harry Potter: The Exhibition. Miss Alison Hay, Quack and Anthony joined me for the sneak peek. I'd probably classify myself as a casual HP fan, I've read the books, seen most of the movies, but that's pretty much it. The exhibit focused solely on the films, and is a collection of costumes, props, and sets (yes, I know, no science whatsoever). It's a visually stunning exhibit, and the design and layout are excellent, and it was cool to see some of the props and costumes up close. The most fascinating thing? Seeing how Ron, Harry and Hermione grew up during the course of shooting the 5 films. There are some costumes that look like they're from the kids section at Old Navy, and then Harry's quiddich uniform which looked like it could fit me. If you're a huge Harry Potter fan, this is a must-see exhibit. It opens on Sunday and runs through February.

Today I went to the Garment District in Cambridge with a co-worker, he was looking for something "unusual" to wear to the event tomorrow night. I'd never been there before, seen it advertised on tv, and it was essentially the Salvation Army for hipsters. I did, however, score a new winter coat for $20.

Tomorrow is the first annual Museum signature event, entitled The Science Behind..., even though we really wanted to call it we have the East Coast premiere of Harry Potter so come pay $500 to party and see the exhibit. Everyone has been really busy, so we'll be glad once it's over and we can relax a little.

Last band competition this weekend (hooray!) and then a little over a month until Disney (double hooray!).
