Little Miss Sunshine’s Life











{October 10, 2009}   Shumai Superstar

After working for the last three days in NYC I wanted to feel like I was on holiday.  Going away for work is totally over rated and I’d rather be at home in my own bed – but having the weekend in NYC was an upside of my trip.

Saturday afternoon was put aside to meet up with Tammy and J.C and to meet little Liam.  The last time I was in New York he was a little bundle swathed in blankets. Now he is a delightful little character that I’ve gotten to know through Tammy and J.C’s facebook updates.  He didn’t disappoint in person either.  Who can’t love a kid who is just as at home in Shun Lee, our dim sum restaurant – eating shumai and pork buns with finesse, as he is on the couch eating macaroni cheese.

The dim sum was ok, the company was fabulous and meeting Liam again was wonderful.  Liam’s verdict on Shun Lee dim sum?  It’s ok (said with a little shrug of his shoulders and the gesture below).  We were on the Upper West Side and the dim sum in China town is ten times cheaper and quite a bit better according to Tammy and J.C.  Next time I’m in town we’ll have to catch up there, I think I’d like them as Chinatown guides, as you could get it so wrong going by yourself!

It's ok

{October 10, 2009}   Two old laydeeeeeees

Adi and I caught up last night at a fabulous Mexican restuarant and had a lovely time, but ended up going home before 9!  Two kids under 3 for her and me still being on London time, meant an earlier night than we used to have back in London town party days.  Back then, it wasn’t uncommon to be up when the birds started tweeting, only then did you think that perhaps it was bed time. 

So we’ll use last night as a warm up to tonight, where we have to stay out until at LEAST midnight, just to preserve our party street cred!

Ladies on the town, well until dark anyway
