"E" Train

it is way too hot outside.  scout and i are hiding out for a few days.  it's just too hot to get him out unless i have to take him somewhere.  none of that has anything to do with the letter E though, so here we go...

i haven't been able to think of much for the letter E...

etsy...yes, i'm sure you all know what etsy is by now.  i love it.  i have lots of scrabble necklaces from there.  i bought a bag to hold my plastic bags a couple weeks ago.  i bought my mom's mother's day present on etsy, scout's first Christmas ornament.  i try not to visit too much, i could spend some serious money!

 Eric Clapton...so funny...i think he may be Scout's favorite singer!  he really likes pretty much any music, but my dad started playing eric clapton and bb king for him from the beginning.  when he stayed with my parents while we were in new york, they listened to his version of "how deep is the ocean" every morning.  when i'm feeding him lunch, we'll listen to music on my computer, and if i play eric clapton, he starts dancing in his high chair.  and his favorite song is "i shot the sheriff!"  not your normal toddler tunes!  everyone else in our family loves eric clapton, too.

Egg Cream...i had heard of an egg cream, but really had no idea what it was til we went to new york.  it doesn't even have eggs in it!  it is milk, soda water, and chocolate syrup.  sounds weird, but it's awesome.  i want to try to make one at home, but i'm sure it won't come close to the real thing!  gem spa in east village supposedly makes the best in all of new york, so we were kinda spoiled by having our first egg cream there!

East Village...speaking of east village.  it was my favorite place we went to in new york.  central park was a close second. but east village is awesome.  i already blogged about it, so i'm not going to say anything else.  but if you ever go to nyc, you gotta get outta uptown and lower manhattan and go to east village!
