Shopping, Food, and Fun!

I didn't have to work on Veterans Day and so I wanted to have some fun. Jose and I got together with my friend Alice and we headed to Long Island for a LONG day of shopping, walking, laughing, and eating. We started out at the new outlet malls in Deer Park and walked and walked. We hit up Costco and Walmart (the Costco's in Long Island are better and we don't have any Walmart's in the city....they are banned so that "mom and pop" stores wont have to compete) and then we went for lunch at one of my favorite places. We had pupusas and other yummy food from El Salvador.....superb!Then we decided to drive out another 30 minutes into Long Island to the "original" outlet malls in Riverhead. They are WAY better than the new ones in Deer Park. We walked and walked and walked and walked! I saw these (cheapy) earrings at Claire's and I really liked them....I didn't buy them though....hmmmm!I really liked these shoes at Aldo (even though the leather looks kind of scratched and trashy in the picture) but I didn't buy them because they were either too big, too small, or didn't feel right. Shucks!Then we headed back to our stomping grounds in Queens and had Korean BBQ. It was very tasty and "hit the spot." Alice showed us the ropes on how to fill the lettuce leaves with the grilled meat and other veggies. We downed the meat pretty fast.....I think Jose liked it ALOT!Here is Jose and I after we chomped and chomped for about an hour.Here are the almost empty banchan (also spelled pan chan) bowls that we devoured while we ate our BBQ.And.....the empty grill. It was great!
