Chris and I met up with my cousin and his wife for brunch in the village today at this place called Good. Yes, it actually was pretty good—get the Passion Mimosa if you go.

Afterwards, we went for a long walk. Despite it being one of the hottest days of the summer, it was really nice. We also checked out the High Line. It was a great way to spend an afternoon—eating a good meal with good people, taking a walk, getting some sun…
Studying what I do makes eating out a bit different in that I think about what my food has been through before landing in front of me. In my microbiology class, we talked a lot about food-borne illnesses and how to avoid them. One of the main ways is to make sure that hot food stays hot and cold food stays cold. However, I’d never really thought about food in window displays.
While I thought of posting a mini-rant about control methods, the sight of these cupcakes made me giggle a little to myself. I couldn’t resist snapping a picture!
