Wednesday Breakfasts: Episode One

Hey everybody. So, Wednesday is Erick and I's normal day off together and ever since I can remember we've been hitting breakfast joints around the city because, let's face it- breakfast really is the best meal of the day. My parents even came up to visit around my birthday last month and we all decided to go to dinner. I said, "hey no problem, I have a ton of ideas of where to go, I can just check my past Yelp check-ins and we'll have a good idea of some of the cool places we ate recently." So I do. And I look. And I look. All I see is Breakfast & Brunch over and over. We hadn't even went to a proper dinner restaurant in over 3 months! YIKES!

The point is- we love breakfast. So each Wednesday I'm going to share our adventures with you. This way, we can all eat delicious foods and savor my favorite part about living in the brunch-filled city of Chicago. Let's move on.

Our visit today highlight's Toast, and more specifically, Toast Two in Wicker Park. This isn't our first visit to Toast we've been here numerous times, and each time it's even more awesome. Service is great, and the manager there is one of the cutest moms you will ever lay eyes on. When you go, make sure you order the French Toast Orgy or the chilaquiles. The orgy of french toast, (and yes that's what it is labeled as on the menu), is compiled of three enormous sticks of stuffed french toast. You can get one of each stuffed flavor: italian mascarpone, strawberry, and chocolate or you can choose any combination that your little heart desires. My favorite is picking all three to be the italian mascarpone. So. Good.

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience. What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball". I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was different, maybe it really was a baby boy. Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky. Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
