Slopes and Manny tries vegan food!!

Hey there! 

GREETINGS once again from UTAH!!

As you can guess from the way my days have been going...
You know me. I'm here to ski and we've gotta get going and hit the slopes.

So for now I'll share pics with you and then I'll fill in most of the blanks for you later!!

VEGAN DINER FOOD at it's BEST!!

​Poor poor Manny. We pretty much exhausted him. His legs were sore and he was wiped out! 
And then it was time for him to have a vegan dinner. 

Manny is far from Vegan...but totally willing to try out some of this vegan food that we speak of!!!

One of the SLC faves happens to be Vertical Diner and that was where we were heading....

Manny the meat eater was a bit skeptical at first.

But then after he sunk his meat eating teeth into the Buffalo Tigers.....it was seriously love at first bite!!!

A Look Ahead to February on Long Island

It's February!!! The month of Love!! Just a little Travelin' Cousins humor.  All kidding aside, what I love about February is that you can start to get a glimpse of the days getting a bit longer as the weeks go by.   Am I the only one getting sick of these short days??

This is going to be a pretty exciting month for me!
I've got a great deal planned to do and see  both personally and for our wonderful blog!

Next week, we need to go to Gianna's new high school for her to get measured for her new school uniform for September.  She will also be taking care of course selection for her Freshman year.  It's all very exciting and a bit overwhelming.

Today, I'm still taking care of Kelsey, so, I'll be working on a few future article features for February this morning.  

​I know I had mentioned my article line up for Elisa's Long Island and Travelin' 25 for February on an earlier blog in January, but I changed the order around based on my local travel schedule:

February 5th:
25 of the Best Valentine’s Gifts for the Vegan on Long Island and Online  

February 12th:
The African American Museum of Nassau County  

February 19th:
Weeksville Brooklyn: One of America’s First Free Black Communities

February 26th:  
Long Island Winterfest - Music, Food, Wine, Art & Craft Beer  - Featuring North Fork Chocolate
​

In honor of Black History Month, I'll be doing two features, both of which, have me visiting two super cool locations in the next few weeks.  One visit is to The African American Museum of Nassau County in Hempstead.  

The other article, which will be published at the end of the month, will be all about Weeksville and the Weeksvile Heritage Center in Brooklyn. Stay tuned!! ​

On a separate note, remember I told you that Grandma and Grandpa bought Gianna a microscope to celebrate her high school acceptance and her scholarship?  Ok, well, she's totally loving it!
She ordered slides from Amazon to view and with that purchase, she also bought a "Suture Set."  So, yesterday, while at home recuperating from her cold, she decided to practice stitching a  banana!!

I had to share this with you.  She told me she learned how to do sutures by watching YouTube videos.  Impressive!

Well, here is the "recovering" banana!  Gianna told me she might decide to go into "plastics" in the medical field since "there is a ton of money in it." lol.

On that note, I'm going to bid you goodbye.
Tomorrow, Tanya and I have some fun "foodie" information to share with you - so we'll see ya then!
