Sideburns and Bagels

Smithsonian is holding a contest for best Civil War facial hair and if that wasn't awesome enough look at who's winning:






Ambrose Burnside.




His name is thisclose to being sideburn! And I'm pretty sure that's why he's winning by like 3000 votes.

In other news, I'm starting to get really exciting about my move to New York in August and the blog Maison des Reverie is almost entirely to blame. She has recently posted about a sandwich shop with Bahn Mi, a Cuban resturant, and a bagel shop. One right after another. In that order. My roommate and I went and looked at the restuarant's menus on their websites and.... THEY WEREN'T EXPENSIVE! We peed ourselves with delight! Not really, but I mean... Seriously. Like... Ugggh I am having trouble expressing my excitement. Look!






Bahn Mi!





Bagel with Lox!



Do you know how hard it is to find a good bagel in Richmond?! Not that hard, there's a couple places that get them imported from H&H, but the places near my house that have them are Starbucks, Panera, and some coffee shops that have crappy mushy stupid bagels. I mean... look at that thing! It is glorious! I will eat you in three months!



UPDATE: Just kidding! My boyfriend has just informed me that the sideburn was named after him and he pretty much invented it. So, really, that gives him an unfair advantage in this competition. There are some intense competitors with really crazy freaking facial hair that just don't stand a chance.
