Stories from the Gymrat (well... I used to be one)

On Tuesday night, He and I went to the WYSIWYG show. What a blast! I have not laughed so hard in a long time. It was nice to attend something fun that was culturally cutting edge yet not pretentious or elitist. I plan on attending more of these shows in the future. It was sold out, so plan ahead if you go.

He also introduced me to a restaurant that merits mention. Cacio e Pepe is know for a dish that takes hot pasta, cracked pepper, butter, and herbs, throws them into a block of Percorino Romano, then swirls & tosses it all around to melt the cheese. The pasta is then placed on your plate and the melted cheese scraped on top or it all. For those of you not eating carbs or watching your waistline, god, your life is boring. Eat some fucking pasta, bitches! I am definitely going back to try the olive oil ice cream. Who needs abs when food tastes this good.

I had a great night. The food was divine. The show was funny. The company was great. Since I've been "married" for eight years, I rarely get to spend a night out like some of my single friends do. Thank goodness my partner is not the jealous type. And after almost 12 years of living in New York City, I tend to be jaded about a lot of things. Tuesday night has renewed my love for this City. Thanks Hugo. Later.
