This afternoon we attended a friend’s gay pride parade party. He lives right along the parade route so we were able to watch from his living room window. One of the attendees had made these jell-o shots. He actually made seven different-colored flavors of jell-o and took the time to layer them. Impressive.

My CSA begins
Posted in biweekly photo on June 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My CSA started this week. I am very excited. My share comes from Chubby Bunny farm in Connecticut. Above is what I picked up on Tuesday: (clockwise from leftmost bowl) salad greens, arugula, spinach, broccoli rabe, breakfast radishes, mint, strawberries, Mutsu apples. I can’t wait to cook up the greens, and maybe even make some strawberry ice [...]
Breakfast by Dave

Boys, when left to their own devices, will eat like boys. I heard Dave frying some eggs in the kitchen this morning, expecting him to come out with his usual weekend breakfast of eggs and toast. Instead, he emerged from the kitchen with the above plate. Clockwise from top: cinnamon raisin English muffin half topped [...]
If heaven was a sandwich

My mother and I had lunch today at Josephina. Surrounded by tables full of (significantly) older ladies, we had a delicious meal. Above is my jumbo lump crabmeat melt with brie, avocado and red onion with a side of mesclun greens in lemon-thyme dressing. As I write this, I am fantasizing about enjoying the second [...]
A simple pleasure

Made right here in New York State, Siggi’s Icelandic style skyr is my favorite yogurt by a mile. I fell in love with skyr when I visited Iceland, and was delighted the first time I found Siggi’s here in NYC. Siggi’s fruit flavors are subtle and clean. They are agave-sweetened, unlike most commercial yogurts which [...]

Back in the US of A

Yesterday morning — our refrigerator bare, our stomachs empty and jet lagged — we headed to our local diner for some brunch. Above is what Dave had. I can’t say I missed the grease and the processed toast, but it sure did hit the spot.
Lunch on the run

Dave and I were running to meet my mom this afternoon and didn’t have time for a sit-down lunch. Instead, we headed to the basement of Odakyu department store and each found a lunch box we liked.
Shinjuku station, 10am

On our way to Hakone — to bathe in the hot springs and feast on traditional food — we stopped here to stock up for the train ride. Japanese bakeries are amazing wonderlands of excess. You grab a tray and a pair of tongs on your way in and fill it to your heart’s content.
Breakfast in bed

This breakfast (times two) was delivered to our room this morning. Perhaps because I’d been up since 5 am with jet lag and was starving, or perhaps because I wish all hotels served warm salmon-filled rice balls for breakfast, either way, it was the perfect start to eating in Japan.
