On the Right Foot: Japan on a Budget, $10 Chunky Hoop Earrings, Your Guide to the Lunar New Year & More!

January 27, 2025 by jessica Leave a Comment

The last weekend of January went by entirely too fast. We went out for dinner on Friday to Umami for Restaurant Week. I typically avoid Madison Restaurant Week now as its no longer a deal, removing much of the incentive to join the crowds. However, Umami had a solid menu this year. On Saturday, we popped over to a friend’s house to celebrate her birthday and yesterday was spent doing chores, starting The Next Mrs. Parrish, throwing at the pottery studio, and making pasta e fagioli. (I mistakenly read the soup recipe, though, and used an entire box of pasta rather than just shy of two cups. It’s more pasta than soup now. Still excellent.)

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
