The Inadequacies of 311
February 10, 2017
311 complaints – the city’s knight-in-shining-armor answer to the endless and often illegal problems suffered by the tenants of NYC at the hands of their landlords. How effective is a 311 complaint? In my experience – not at all. You can call or go online to make a non-emergency complaint to 311 for a number of […]
Jules Bistro – French Cuisine, Live Jazz, Cozy Atmosphere
November 1, 2016
It’s rare to have such a perfect dining experience, where everything fits into place – the ambiance, the music, the service, the wine, and the food. It happened last night. It happened at Jules Bistro. Last night, as the village erupted with ghosts and goblins, we found a excellent refuge at Jules Bistro. Not that […]
Roasted Whole Branzino with Lemon and Thyme
July 21, 2016
This is a super simple and delicious (and healthy) meal with maximum presentation appeal (unless you find the sight of whole fish totally UNappealing, of course). This was my first attempt at cooking any sort of whole fish, and I must say I’m rather impressed with myself. These beauties were on sale from Fresh Direct, […]
The Harvest Begins…The Veranda 2016
July 19, 2016
Today, I had my first ripe tomato! Very exciting. Here’s a look at how things are moving along on The Veranda. Something is eating this basil plant. All the other basil plants are fine, so it’s a bit bizarre.
What’s Growing on the Veranda in 2016
June 2, 2016
Life was a little too busy this year for me to get my crops for The Veranda started from seed. Instead I purchased my plants from The Brooklyn Botanic Garden May plant sale, Evolutionary Organics at the Grand Army Plaza Farmers’ Market, Pet-al Plants, and Oak Grove Plantation at the Union Square Farmers’ Market. Additionally, […]
Caramelized Onions and Swiss on a Bagel
February 9, 2016
Just a little ooey gooey yumminess over the weekend… I followed these guidelines when caramelizing the onions.
Urban Jungle
August 5, 2015
Things are proceeding well on The Veranda. Tomatoes are growing on every plant and there are herbs abound, but some have bolted (just how does one keep up with pruning oregano flowers). And while the squirrels are still a nuisance, I no longer live in fear of the imminent destruction of all my hard work. One thing […]
The Veranda: 2015
June 15, 2015
Sooo, I’ve gone a little nuts on The Veranda this season. I’ve implemented some anti-squirrel tactics (read chicken-wire fortress), which is still in the works, but I’m feeling very hopeful that I WILL WIN this year. My mother was even kind enough to send me a bag of dog hair in the mail to place around the […]
Lemon Pasta with Roasted Shrimp
October 27, 2014
As promised, I made my favorite Barefoot Contessa go-to recipe in honor of Ina Garten’s upcoming appearance at Barnes and Noble tomorrow night – Lemon Pasta with Roasted Shrimp. This recipe is super quick and easy, and tastes excellent as leftovers too! For this version, I halved the original recipe, and used fresh pasta and Wild […]
