Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble gobble!  :)

And if you were wondering, I missed this year’s Macy’s parade yet AGAIN!   It’s just not the same watching it on DVR!

Thanksgiving has long been one of my favorite holidays because it leads the way right into the Christmas season!  This year we will be spending it at my aunt’s apartment in the city.  Its going to be a tight fit for the 12 of us but we’ll manage.  I can’t wait to stuff myself silly tonight!

Each year I find more and more things to be thankful for…friends…FAMILY…health…the fact that I have a JOB…with all of our busy lives, sometimes it does take a holiday for us to stop, smell the roses and really appreciate everything we have.

I wish everyone a healthy and happy holiday with many more to come!

The Ritz Condo Tour – Atlantic City

Just a quickie post while I continue to go through the 1k pictures we took last week…

A lot of you ask what my aunt’s condo is like and wonder where we stay when we go down there…so here it is!

Don’t ask about the yellow walls….I’m not sure what the heck she was thinking!

I know I mentioned that the condo was a hotel twice in the vid…but thats because I recorded this on two different days and I couldn’t remember what I said previously….and I was too lazy to check :)

HK Station {Restaurant Review}

We’ve been back from AC for a few days now…and I’m getting the vacation blues!  ”last week at this time I was…”…I can’t be the only one that does this am I!?

I haven’t finished sorting through all of the pictures yet to pull the ones I want to post…so I’ll just skip ahead to this post that has been sitting in my drafts for a while now.

E and I meet up about 2x a month to go to dinner…when we have a Shecky’s event we usually head down to Chinatown to grab a bowl of cheap noodles.  Our favorite place to go for this is Hong Kong Station.  My best way to describe this place would be similar to those salad bars that you find in the city…where you pick your lettuce, toppings, dressing and they mix it all together for you.  The difference here is that you pick your type of noodle – ranging from thin rice noodles to thick udon noodles and everything in between; your toppings – various meats and veggies; and then your soup flavorings (scallion-garlic oil and/or curry-garlic sauce).

The service is fast, food is tasty and have I mentioned CHEAP!  :)  From the last time we went I think the noodles were $2.50 and then each topping is about $2.  Our bowls are always under $10.

As far as the toppings go – there is a huge variety.  From common things like ham, fried eggs, veggies, and grilled chicken to some more exotic things (ie things that I won’t touch but everyone tells me I should try cuz its good :-) ) like beef tripe, beef stomach, pork intestines, chicken gizzards…and all of that fun stuff.

I usually get 2-4 toppings depending on how famished I’m feeling.  Obviously in the below picture I was starving since I got 4 toppings!  I like that if you choose chicken, spam or ham they will take it over to the griddle and heat it up there for you since the soup won’t heat it thoroughly enough.   And if you’re not in the mood for noodles you can also get the toppings over rice!

Off to the side of the cashier they also have some additional condiments that you can add to your noodles like soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, vinegar, white pepper, etc.

Thumbs up!
