Brunchcon NYC 2018

Another Volunteer Opportunity: Brunchcon

After Beautycon, I decided that I should check out more conventions to go to. Unfortunately, I have yet to secure a job so I would need to volunteer at any convention I would want to attend. Since I like that sort of work, I thought it would always be a win-win for me and whatever convention I worked for. I work hard especially if it is for something I love to do and I want to earn my entrance at these conventions. So I found out about Brunchcon on my search for more conventions. I emailed them a while back and thought nothing would come from it since I didn’t get a response in the following days. I even mentioned it to my partner-in-crime from Beautycon. I told her that I didn’t think that I would get to go. Then, when I was convinced that I would not hear for Brunchcon, I got an email asking if I would like to volunteer. YESSSSSSSSSS!!

Got to Get in There

So I have been trying to get to live my life in a way that I will be happy with what I do. One way I am doing that is trying to do what I love for a living. I love writing, reading, cooking, baking, photography, painting, makeup, fashion, party planning and a few other creative things; I have been trying to incorporate all of these things together. The heart of it all is creative creations and ways to help others. This is why I have this blog. So when I found out about this Techmunch event, I decided I needed to get in there somehow to get to be able to achieve my goals in life. So I volunteered at Techmunch.

Small Getaway to Atlantic City Leads to Sad Guy’s Bar-B-Que Joint

RX: A Small Getaway

Sometimes you need a break from the everyday to reconnect and work somethings out. Well The Kid and I did just that, we got away. JUST US. It was needed and well-deserved. It was only for a few weekdays, a small getaway and just to Atlantic City but we were alone and happy to be there. We left for AC on Labor Day in a Greyhound bus which had no ac haha. This was going to be our second time there so Groupon and us decided to stay at the hotel we had originally stayed at, the Showboat. The trip, while small, was beneficial and we packed quite a few things into the including walking more than 6 miles a day. I had (still have some) the blisters to prove it.

Time for a Taco Bell Fresh Start

Taco Bell and I Have Never Been Friends

I was never a fan of Taco Bell. I have never thought that they had quality food. All of their items tasted the same to me. I used to go to Taco Bell for lunch when I was in high school but only because it was in close proximity to my school. Also, because I also had to work with an allowance so that meant the cheaper the food the better. Sometimes that meant that taste would not be a deciding factor. As I got older, my taste in food changed and grew with me. I fell in love with the different flavors and different ingredient combinations that can be done. Quality matters in food. It matters to me.

Cheesy Potatoes That I made Last Night

A recipe look-up….

So recently my mom asked me to look up a recipe for scalloped potatoes for our dinner for Resurrection Sunday. I did, fairly easy job. I showed her the recipe and the ingredients for it. She looked them over and said “okay”. That was that. I didn’t print it nor did I write it out thinking that I would just show it to her on Sunday and it would be fine. Well Sunday rolled around and The Kid and I went to church in the morning. We got back and after I made us a snack, I worked on a blog post. I was done fairly late considering I was supposed to show my mom the recipe.

The Donut Burger I Always Wanted

The News….

A few weeks ago my mother told me that a local restaurant called Heights Tavern had closed and Crazy Annie’s had replaced it. Now Heights Tavern was a breath of fresh air to the area when it first opened. The decor was like that of the upper west and east side restaurants of Manhattan. A nice change to most of the dull and out-dated restaurants in the area. They had different food which was of good quality and had outdoor seating, even providing interesting brunch options like corn flake crusted french toast. The quality of food, service and care went down after a while. There would be issues with our servers not caring if we were taken care of. People frequented the restaurant less while my husband and I stopped all together.

The Brindle Burger: Quest for the Best Burger in NYC

Brindle Burger and fries
Does it not make your mouth water?

The Journey Begins…

My husband and I stumbled upon a video, NYC’S Best Burger, Explained on the YouTube channel First We Feast (which btw has interesting content) that was the Brindle Room burger from Brindle Room. The burger’s name is actually Sebastian’s Steakhouse Burger and it is the only burger on the menu. My husband and I have an affinity for burgers. We have actually been on a journey to find the best burgers in Manhattan so we needed to try this delicious looking burger from the video. The one drawback it had was the stigma of being called the “best” in that food category. When given that title, it usually is not. You put yourself on a high pedestal that usually you can’t live up to.

Well after we saw the video, I wanted to do two things: 1. Taste the “best” burger & 2. See if it actually is the best burger because I love food. I love eating great food and I love creating food which I hope turns out to be great.
