Bite Size Kitchen

February 22, 2012

  Recently, I spent a lazy Sunday afternoon at  Brooklyn Brewery  during   Smorgasbrewey  and got to taste the most divine tiny pork bun, made by Connie Sun of Bite Size Kitchen.  All I can say is that it was amazing.  You should check out her site and visit her table at the  Brooklyn Flea […]


Individual Eggplant Parms

February 19, 2012

    I was craving some Eggplant Parmesan recently and didn’t need or want to make a whole large dish of it.  Instead, I decided to try making individual servings, similar to my French Bread Pizzas. To begin, slice a large Italian eggplant lengthwise into inch-thick pieces, discarding the rounded ends.  Arrange the slices in a single […]


Fried Sage Leaves

February 18, 2012

  Fried sage leaves are delicious as a little snack, or great as a garnish. Prepare a skillet with about an 1/8 of an inch of olive or vegetable oil in the bottom, on medium high heat.  Get a plate ready, lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil from the fried leaves.  Remove […]


Sing Sing Karaoke, St. Marks Place

February 18, 2012

OH, Sing Sing, St. Marks.  We can never count on you anymore. I have been going to  Sing Sing  for just about six years now, and I have to say that it has gone way downhill in recent years.  Sing Sing was the solution for me and my karaoke crew to the closing of Jappa’s, […]


Tree Bistro

February 8, 2012

Last night, I went to  Tree Bistro, located a 190 1st ave (between 11th and 12th Sts.) with a  Bloomspot  coupon ($20 for $40 worth of food and drink).  Overall, the experience was great.  I loved the atmosphere and our waiter (who may have been one of the owners) was perfect.  We ordered two glasses […]


Samuel Smith’s Organic Raspberry Ale

February 7, 2012

For those of us that don’t appreciate the taste of beer, but love a nice bottle of fruity Belgian Lambic (like  Lindemans), try  Samuel Smith’s Raspberry Ale.  It is as palatable as the Belgian Lambic, but not quite as sweet and has a little more “beer” taste (but not too much).


Brussels Sprouts Salad with Paremsan Cheese, Walnuts, and Lemon

February 6, 2012

I am loving Brussels Sprouts these days, and wanted to try something a little different.  In this recipe (which I slightly adapted) from Gourmet magazine for  Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Fresh Walnuts and Pecorino, the sprouts remain raw.  This was new for me – don’t think I had ever had raw Brussels Sprouts before.  […]
