EightyFour B-day Dinner

Last night a whole bunch of us had a little birthday dinner at EightyFour for Andrea's birthday (she's center right, in the grey v-neck; I'm the fish in the black blazer). Restaurant: B (it's new, so it's still finding its legs re: service and food timing, although points go to the scallops and all the rustic little touches). Company: A+.

(Click here to check out the gallery from the launch party of Andrea's website, Brunch Critic, featuring many people you've seen around these parts.)

2. My sunburn.

My Easy Blueberry Pie

I spent a lot of time in Maine as a kid, which means I spent a lot of time eating blueberries. And to this day, whenever I start getting excited about the warm months to come, I start craving blueberry pie.
