Today’s Adventure: Laundry

Today's Adventure was doing laundry. Sounds pretty boring and... well, it was pretty boring. However doing laundry here is much different that just tossing it in the washer and dryer at the house. We went over to the Clean Rite cleaners which is about 7 blocks away from the house. Kristen ...

Taste of Brooklyn: Hua Long Chinese Restaurant

Today I sampled my first chinese take out in Brooklyn. We picked the Hua Long Chinese Restaurant because Urbanspoon told me it was close by and it was way too cold to go out of our way to find something else.
