Heh. Reminds me of our time in Paris, when we bought a nice ripe cheese specifically to have for breakfast on the day we left....3 days after purchase. It was glorious, BTW--we devoured it with Poilane bread right outside of the bakery.

N used packaged puff pastry to make a freeform tart with chard (from our garden), feta, and lightly baked eggs.

The surrealism of everyday life
StephanieL replied to StephanieL's topic in What's that got to do with anything?
Last night, I watched a documentary from 2019 called "All We've Got", about the death/redefinition of lesbian spaces, and I was astounded to see myself twice in the background of some archival footage. I'm still embarrassed about how dorky I looked at 22. -
Man, that takes me back. I did go to her place in Jackson Heights once.

I think you should make some room on your playlist for a few light comedies. 😉

I used to love his dosas.

Tonight's dinner will be quiche, featuring broccoli, cauliflower, and Egyptian walking onions from our garden. We'll probably have a side salad with lettuces and such from the garden too.

Excellent choices all around.

On our to-go list, natch. You've lucked out with the weather for sure. Nice panorama of Washington Square.

At 88. I thought he was much older. My parents used to go to Steve & Eydie concerts when they'd play the Garden State Arts Center.

That's a hella expensive bottle of Everclear.

Welcome back! I recommend Local Edition on Market and 3rd, especially between the post-work crowd and the start of live music.

The definition of irony: Tahoe City's Snow Festival was cancelled yesterday due to too much snow.

As a tribute to Dave Myers of Hairy Bikers fame, who passed away a few days ago from cancer, N is making the potato-topped spicy bean hot pot from The Hairy Bikers' Perfect Pies. It uses a combination of kidney and cannelini beans, so she's using RG Domingo Rojos and Marcellas. A warming meal for today and the next few cold rainy days.

Homemade vegetarian borscht from the local Eastern European market, augmented with a dollop of sour cream. Slice of Boudin sourdough to mop things up.

I've had them in Chinese restaurants in NYC.

Thank you for letting us know.

Now that I have a whole new set of allergies from moving to the West Coast, I've started up once-weekly allergy shots again. Not only do I have to wait 30 minutes after each one in case I have a reaction (only happened once in the first go-around), I can't have alcohol or NSAIDs 2-3 days prior to the shot. The next couple of years are going to be fun.

N made cock-a-leekie, using an amalgam of the NY Times recipes, other recipes, and her own technique (e.g., deglazing the pot with Scotch).

Not going to this, but I'm tickled that Van Morrison is still going strong and playing at Bimbo's 365 tonight.

The Rosita: 1 1/2 oz. reposado tequila 1/2 oz. Campari (or similar red bitter liqueur, not Aperol) 1/2 oz. dry vermouth 1/2 oz. sweet vermouth Dash Angostura bitters Dash orange bitters Stir in an ice-filled mixing glass and strain into an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass. If you have, garnish with a twist of grapefruit.

My parents were recently in Norway, and among their gifts to me was a set of jams that are each meant to be paired with a specific cheese. It'll be interesting to see if cherry and licorice(!) jam really does go with Manchego.

Reasons to be Cheerful

We'll do some small things now--she doesn't want anything big until the summer. How nice that that coincides with our Copenhagen trip. 🙂 -
