Killed for Dancing by the Taliban

This is such a sad story.

Allegedly, 17 Afghan civilians were beheaded because they went to dance party that openly disregarded the beliefs of the Taliban culture, or as some say an extreme brand of Islam.

Oh my, such a sad story. Not sure how to further discuss.

Toro Sushi

This is a MUST blog about restaurant. Rarely in Chicago do I feel the need to blog on a restaurant as we go to so many but Toro Sushi in Lincoln Park is definitely one of those rare ones that I had to share with you guys.

My BFF was in town and loves sushi. I wanted to take her to the best spot and my coworkers RAVE about Toro. Finally went and there was no disappointment at all. It is incredible.

We sat at the sushi bar and chatted it up with Mitch, the sushi chef. Note his happy smile below:)


Mitch was so kind and gave us a complimentary sashimi wrap, can't remember the names of what else we got sadly because we went weeks ago but here's some pics below.













The sushi is super fresh here, will definitely be visiting again with more friends and family!:)
