museums, tacos and chocolate overload.

kirsten wanted to go to the alexander mcqueen exhibit and i hadn't been to any museums yet so we decided to go while she was visiting.  we waited in line for an HOUR to even get into the museum, only to find out that they had temporarily closed the exhibit because they had exceeded capacity and they didn't know when they would reopen because they just had to wait until people started leaving.  basically, it would be hours upon hours for us to get in so we decided to walk around and look at other stuff in the museum.  i'm not a huge museum fan, apparently... i got bored really fast.  not that it's not interesting or anything but all i really wanted to see were these:


i'm completely fascinated by them.  i would give anything just to try them on and TRY to walk in them :)  after walking around a humongous museum for a while, we worked up our appetite and so i took kirsten to my fave, cascabel for some delish tacos.  they were amazing as usual and kirsten loved them too.  then we walked along central park and thru and relaxed on a bunch for a bit before i had to go to work.  after work we met heather at max brenner.  this is a restaurant that uses chocolate on everything.  it's been featured on the best thing i ever ate... pizza, for their chocolate pizza.http://www.eatmedaily.com/2009/08/crimes-against-food-the-dessert-pizza-at-max-brenner-video/  the food was really super good, i got a black sesame crusted salmon and veggies, we got a side of waffle cut fries sprinkled with paprika and cocoa powder and then it also comes with a side or chocolate ranch.  sounds weird, but it was actually really good, the chocolate was very subtle.  then dessert was a huge disappointment :(  i of course got the chocolate pizza, heather got a s'mores sundae and kirsten got crispy chocolate egg rolls.  the chocolate itself was really good, as for the rest... wahwah...
chocolate pizza "sauce", marshmallow "cheese", hazelnuts and drizzle of pb
me and KRash (kirsten rash)
hets and her delicious looking but not tasting sundae
so we tried to make our own concoction and added all of our desserts together.. we ended up with one disgusting looking mess
