Diet tip: Eat with smaller utensils. I’m sure that that’s a legit tip but I think my Mom took it to the extreme when she brought these home.

Maybe they can slow down my eating since taking the time to chew your food thoroughly is supposed to be healthier. After food is served I usually don’t look up until I’m done, which has led to the nick name ‘the hoover’ by my father (embarrassing much?).

Moving on, Wednesday was my last night in the city. I’ve never worked with friendlier people and am really sad to leave, but after an important road being closed on my way in, leading to me scrambling to a farther train station at the last minute, I will not be sad to work within a 35 minute drive. And now I’ll definitely be able to get my electric car next year It goes 100 miles on a charge!

On my way into work, I managed to stop at one last place for a cupcake: Juniors. They’re actually known for their cheesecakes but I figured their cupcakes should be good too.

I was feeling white on white for some reason. Well, they also didn’t have a carrot cake option. I ate it on the train on the way home. I figured one last sugar rush would keep me awake for the ride (didn’t work).

The cupcake was good. It tasted like a cupcake should. Simple plain white cake with a light, whipped icing. Definitely too much icing but that’s nothing new in the cupcake world.

Halfway through, I started reminiscing about those yellow hostess cupcakes I used to buy in convenience stores up until college.

I guess other people really liked them too since I found that painting online. The Juniors frosting reminded me of the creme in the middle.

I also bought real food at Grand Central. I got a grilled cheddar with tomato sandwich from Dishes.

Ok, time to get to work. Have a great day!!!
