Wheat Thins and Liquor Chocolate
While I was once again hungry and at school I went to the vending machine and tried Wheat Thins Toasted Chips Veggie flavor. The chips were good and I will definitely buy them again and try them with a homemade dip.
The night I shaved my head I went down la bodega and picked up a few things and as I was checking out I saw little liquor infused chocolates. Now I'm not sure how long those have been sitting there... lol but they were 2 for1 so I got two. One flavor was B-52 and the other was Strawberry Daquire, they were both good but nothing out of this world.
DiDi Dumplings, Club Fair and drinks.
While I was at school feeling quite famished I ventured outside of the vending machines and went to DiDi Dumplings. This place is cute, quaint and simple. After looking at the menu I decided to get the five piece vegetarian dumplings steamed, the dumplings were only $5!!
I got the dumplings and the sauce and they were both delicious.Another few of my First are trying new drinks.
I have tried Casillero del Diablo Carbernet. The wine is a red wine and was nice... Lol
I'm sorry to be so vague but I'm becoming to realize that my "appetite" for drinking lately has been about zero, maybe it'll change maybe not.
Before realizing I was getting sick I purchased a different brand of coconut water. Whenever I get coconut water I either get Vita Coco or Naked however this time I got, Zico for the First time.
While I was at my First Baruch club fair, which I will go into in more depth later, I was given a drink called "Snow" by the Undergrad Student Government. The drink taste like a soda but has vitamins as says it is healthy for you, cute concept and the drink was actually good. I will probably be trying it again but only in a original cocktail type drink, as I am not a soda drinker.
Stayed tuned for more First :)

Full Of First!
So I promised you guys that I was still embarking on my Daily First adventures and here are a few.
I woke up the other day and lately I have been completely skipping breakfast which is NOT GOOD! I used to be the person that never ate breakfast and I was fine without out. However, when I got serious about losing weight I had to start eating breakfast because I was so dam hungry I wasn't going to miss any meal lol, oh yeah and its good for your metabolism too :)
Anyhow I have sadly enough fallen back into the "no breakfast" zone and I
A) hate it
B) can see the effects on my mood and body
C) Need to change it
After dropping Leilani off at school and finally getting to mine I found I was considerably hungry and decided to get s protein drink to hold me over, it was only a short day. I went to the Rite Aid and although I really wanted some rice or soy milk I decided that I really had to get a heavy protein drink to curve my appetite.
After strolling around the pharmacy for too long I finally got a Muscle Milk.
This was the First time I had ever tried Muscle Milk and I can honestly say it is the LAST, unless I find a good flavor for FREE! I bought the Vanilla Creme Flavor and at first sip was over come with the OVERBOARD sweet taste and then the "BLUH" taste.
A few days later I, once again skipped breakfast and once again found myself hungry when I got off the metro so I once again strolled into Duane Reade this time and looked for a protein drink. However, this time I STAYED AWAY from the Muscle "Bluh" and reached for Odwalla Vanilla Al'Mondo Protein drink which was amazing! It has SOY MILK in it and I love soy milk and the flavors were so good and when I got the the end of the bottle I was saddened by how quick it all went by. However, my sadness was short lived because I had Oatmeal Raisin Walnut bar from Cliff.
My level of satisfaction was marketability different from that of the Muscle "Milk" Which by the way contains NO milk just saying.

No Guard!
This is AN EMERGENCY POST! I have several others that should be ahead of this one but I had to take out the time to do this one FIRST!
So today I was going to go to Bryant Park and watch a dance that is part of the annual Bryant Park Fall Festival but instead I stayed home and shaved my head. Yes you read correctly SHAVED MY HEAD!
For those of you that know me well, you know I have been wanting to shave my head for some years now and after thinking about it all day, tweeting about it and calling you to see what you think I DID IT!
IT feels great! I am super excited!
Today I woke up and my hair was as dry as scarecrow straw and as you all know I don't like my hair. Don't get me wrong I have great hair but I CAN"T STAND IT! Anyhow I went down to the dollar store and got some deep conditioning treatment thing came home, washed my hair, twisted it and then looked in the mirror and told myself: "Fck it shave it!" After about six hours I did!
Leilani told me I looked like Damien, my nephew, and that she now needed a new mom. Lol. But after I told her I needed a new daughter she apologized and said that it was just strange and now when she drew a picture of use she would have to draw me with no hair instead of my curls lol.

Indian Food, Veggie Lasgana
I made the decision to go vegetarian on the 26th of August. So far I have done well and I'm actually proud of how well I am settling into the meatless life style.
In an attempt to make my meals more diverse I made vegetarian lasagna for the First time. I must say it was delicious and I honestly didn't miss the meat at all!I used spinach, eggplant, squash, tomato and onions, with whole wheat noodles, and home stewed tomatoes!
Since going vegetarian I have been looking for more fun and exciting recipes to try. One of my favorite types of food is Indian food. I can't say one specific reason why I enjoy Indian food so much but I know several as to why. Even before making the change to a meatless lifestyle I enjoyed the flavors and the way Indian food is cooked. The other day I had a two hour break in the middle of my school day and decided to get some Indian food!
This is was the First time I had ever been to Curry in a Hurry in Murray Hill. The restaurant is two levels and has platters that allow you to sample different types of Indian food, the platters start at the low price of $10. I wanted to try something new and for the First time so I got vegetable biryani. The dish was delicious! The spices and flavors of the rice were top notch and the price was budget friendly! How can you argue with that? Vegetable Biryani is a rice dish cooked with vegetables and delicious spices... lol Once again I didn't even miss the meat. Then to continue on my First adventures I had a salty lassie. The salty lassie taste a lot like liquefied Greek yogurt and although I love Greek yogurt, I don't think I'd have the lassie again UNLESS it has some flavor to it. All in all I would go back to Curry in a Hurry, good food, great prices and in my schools neighborhood!
My first for this post are

Whhaaa
I have failed, I've gone too many days without a first :"(.
No excuses but it's been hard to do something for the first time everyday since starting school, Leilani starting school and my other blog/site, Teen Mom NYC, taking off and developing at the speed it has. Then the few that I had before my lapse of First were earased off my dry earase board by Leilani, whom thought it was hilarious by the way.
However, I am very excited to say that I have NOT lost sight of my goal and that I am still trying things for the first time.
I am happy to announce that I have tried many things for the first time and I'm even more excited to tell you all about them!
