takeout dinner from The Standard: half a French Dip sandwich and half a Banh Mi sandwich

more snacks for Lost finale: peanut butter pillows (the recipe had been posted on the postpunkkitchen website, but I think it is no longer up… basically a firm peanut butter dough wrapped in a chocolate dough, then baked) along with dough; Brooklyn Brewery pilsner; whiskey and ginger

Marcy and Emily… we’re missing our last chance for a Lost reunion!
