Where to Eat Wednesday: The Doughroom

I have been to a number of amazing restaurants lately (look forward to Wednesday features on Bestia and Scoops), but The Doughroom just won me over with it's amazing food, location, ambiance, and dare I say it but, the best pizza I ever ate.

What gave the pizza the extra umph was the bursts of flavor. Surprisingly, the toppings that made this pizza so amazing were clams and bacon! Sounds so weird, but seriously so good.

The funny part is that I didn't even order the pizza, Zac did. I ordered the steak. And that was great too. All that to say.. try this place out. I can't wait to go back soon since it's walking distance from our place and I hear they have a Sunday/ football brunch!

Have you tried it out yet? It's only been open 7 weeks!

(Excuse my poor quality food picture, I couldn't concentrate on taking a photo, I was more interested in eating!)

Do you like Bryan Cranston?

I think I've already asked if you like Breaking Bad. But whether or not you watch the show, I think you'll appreciate this video and the versatility of Bryan Cranston (the show's main character, who also previously starred in Malcolm in the Middle). If you watch Breaking Bad, the video will make more sense, but regardless, this made me laugh out loud.



I also recently saw Bryan Cranston on an episode of The Colbert Report, where he did some pretty impressive rollerskating as well. Who knew how multi-talented this guy was?!

Where my Breaking Bad buddies at?? 5 more episodes!!

(thanks Zac, for sending me the video:)

Striking Resemblances

So I have this almost identical photo of me at this age, and I look exactly like James does in this pic, except I had an over-sized sun hat on my head. He looks so sweet here.It's certainly one of my favorites. I can't believe this is already almost two months ago!

Boot Camp

Did you know that when you run, the ball of your foot should touch the ground first? And if you're sprinting, your heel doesn't ever really need to touch the ground!

How did this take me 29 years to learn you ask? Well, I've been going to a boot camp for a few months called Sport Fit, and I'm really enjoying it. The trainer, Matt, incorporates fun games/ drills like two on two basketball (my favorite), tag (my least favorite), and soccer drills (which I had never played in my life), which keeps things fresh and fun, and not like I'm at the gym.

Anyway, you learn something new every day.

SWIM.

In honor of it being the middle of August, check out this beautiful swimsuit. My favorite part is the back! And I love the fun of the confetti, it's like New Years in summer time.

Rip Tides

I came across this photo on Pinterest. But what really caught my eye was one of the comments below:

"washed out... take all the weight I carry on my shoulders and set me free with your salty water"

I love it. That's how I feel when I'm in the ocean. The waves are so powerful. It makes me feel so small and strong at the same time. Nature is so beautiful. How do you feel when waves are crashing over you?

Friday Flick: Blue Jasmine

Do you like Woody Allen movies?

I hadn't seen anything about Blue Jasmine until last night when Zac and I were scoping out movies to go see for our date night. This movie was nothing like the last Woody Allen movie I saw, Midnight in Paris, but still very enjoyable. Cate Blanchett did a beautiful job depicting the nervous breakdown of her character- New York socialite who lost everything when her absurdly rich husband, Alec Baldwin, was found out for scheming people's millions- much like the financial scam that made the news and lost peoples' millions a few years ago.

The entire cast was pretty amazing in this movie. So if you like Woody, and are looking for a good flick, I say check it out.
