these are a few of my favorite things: hi tom.


new spring 2010 toms.

tom keeps doing what he's doing. i wonder what the followup is on how many people are really receiving the donated shoes. toms policy: with every pair you purchase, toms will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

i think i will stick to my classics. very comfortable and i would stay true to size. i did size down on my suede toms, but it did not stretch too much.

classics please, thank you.

blood red blackhawks.



There's nothing like a Chicago Blackhawks game. Please go. If you have playoff tickets, please be kind and send them my way.

The thunderous roar of the fans at the United Center is unbelievable. The 300-level is definitely where you want to be. Beer, passion, and a barrage of blood red jerseys. What more can you ask for? There's an adrenaline rush that comes with the price of the ticket..definitely worth your monies. The national anthem is probably one of my favorite parts and absolutely sets the tone. Poor singer, no point in singing, the crowd overpowers his/her voice. :] Get out your authentic jerseys and show some love.

peking duck, yes please.


Eatery


Meet Aflack.




Freshly cut and ready to go.


Perfectly steamed buns.


Bon Appetit!

The service was a bit slow, but the place was packed and bumping. Without a Chinese friend, communication would be a bit difficult, but I'm sure you'll manage. The duck was prepared perfectly and served with a balanced amount of meat and skin. I put an even amount of skin and meat on the bun with some hoisin sauce, carrots, pickled veggies, and most importantly green onions, and the delicious delicacy just melted in my mouth. The four of us ordered the family portion of the duck [which comes with a fried rice and a duck broth soup], Chinese broccoli for some texture, and a flavorful shrimp dish. We murdered it all, but did not feel extremely full after. fiesta en mi boca. Affordable and delicious, can't wait to go back! Thanks to a.young for the reco. Who's down?
