Age of Aquarius: 26!

Hey Everyone! Happy Birthday to meeee! :) Yesterday was amazing! T and I went to see HAIR and I enjoyed every second (especially when the whole cast took off their clothes! J/K!!!). But it was really fun and energizing!
T and I outside waiting to get into HAIR! Freezing might I add!
After HAIR we went over to One Lucky Duck (which is the takeaway place for Pure Food & Wine) and grabbed some food to go. It was 6:30pm and we wanted to get on the train and get home for the Grammys. I ordered a Falafel Salad. Let me tell you.. WOW! This was so good! My raw falafel can NOT compare to these flavorful balls of goodness! The dressing was outstanding as well! I am so glad we are going to Pure Food & Wine this upcoming weekend for a family birthday celebration!
I also grabbed a bunch of desserts! Three cookies: Orreo, Almond Butter and a Lemon Sandwich. I liked the Almond Butters the best!
A Chocolate Caramel Bar (which I saved for my actual birthday, TODAY!).
A Mallomar (another one I am saving for later on today).
Here is what I enjoyed last night: 2 of the cookies and a piece of Tiramisu. I obviously couldn't finish this along with the salad so T was a happy man! :) Yum, raw Tiramisu tasted the same as the cooked animal product one.. but a million times better!
So that was my birthday celebration yesterday! For my actual birthday, today, we are going to have a dinner at home: Rawcos with Kristens Raw Cheezy Hemp Sauce! YUM! Followed by the desserts I saved for today! YAY!
I also have a ton of pictures of other food and stuff from the weekend I will post on Wednesday! Don't forget about my giveaway!
