Friday night the BF made chili and we stayed in. It was so nice just to relax at home! The bad news was that I had a 6am wake-up call on Saturday for New York Cares Day. This is my third season volunteering for NYCD with a group of ladies and I truly enjoy it. I do not, however, understand why I keep signing up for things that force me to set an alarm on Saturdays. #FAIL

After wrapping up, I met up with some friends in Williamsburg. We wound up at Radegast which is a giant German beer hall. I love me some German (wurst, pretzels, HB, YES) so I was excited to get in a little stateside Oktoberfesting. The only drawback was that I had pre-planned a similar celebration at Zum Schneider in Manhattan for the next day. Let's say I did a LOT of "Prost!"ing this weekend and I think I've had my fill for a while.

We got a quick lesson on making jam/jelly and chutneys and then had a mixologist put together some cocktails with the jam.

I've got to be honest - this dude had a serious chip on his shoulder. We got more of a venomous lecture on bar-behavior than a lesson in entertaining. I feel like the crowd was sophisticated enough to know that you tip 20%. It was a bit condescending.
In conclusion... I DID IT! Two posts in a single week. Things are looking up!
