One New Thing: Pequeña

Cat and her tacos

Oh boy, we've been dropping the ball on this blog! Kristin's been sick and I've been lazy. That's why this post is going to travel back in time to last Sunday...

Last night I went out to Fort Greene to hang out with my good pal Cat. I told her that I didn't have money for dinner, but I would go and sit with her if she needed to get food. She chose Pequeña and told me I could get a little side. I thought maybe I could spend just a little of my non-existent money on just a little food. But then the waitress handed me the menu and there were chicken enchiladas - one of those foods I just can't say no to. So a meal was ordered and a one new thing blog was born.

But first we ordered a carafe of frozen strawberry margaritas. I haven't had one in so long it was surprising how salty they were. I'm used to my sweet alcoholic beverages so it was a nice change.

Then the food came. Normally I like my Mexican food with a decent amount of spice - this wasn't that kind of food. It was more along the lines of what I consider Tex-Mex (This description may be wrong. I just refer to anything bland as Tex-Mex). But I enjoyed it none the less! The rice was a useless waste of plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken enchiladas. There was enough that I was able to save one for breakfast. I went to bed like on Christmas Eve, thinking the sooner I go to sleep the sooner I can wake up and open presents! However, in this case opening presents was really eating enchiladas!

If you're wondering where this margarita filled night led us... To Target. To buy Jenga. Which we played the rest of the night while watching Saturday Night Live. Just two single girls in the Big Apple livin' it up!
