Best Roast Beef Sandwich…Ever

October 16, 2014

My apologies for the gratuitous photo here, but LOOK AT THAT DELICIOUSNESS!   I finally decided to try the (relatively) new joint,  Stocked  at 635 Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.  They have a selection of sandwiches, salads, prepared foods, rotisserie chicken, among other things.  From what I can tell, this place is extremely kid-friendly, […]


Baby Grand Karaoke Bar

October 10, 2014

Remember that time when your bartender asked if he could floss his teeth?  Sadly, I do.  It was the only tainted drop in a bucket full of fun at  Baby Grand Karaoke Bar  the other night. That’s right – the otherwise charming and burly bartender proceeded to floss his teeth right there behind the bar. […]


Casellula

October 9, 2014

Casellula  ranks as my favorite cheese and wine bar, by a landslide. Located on the corner of 52nd Street and 9th Avenue, I often come here for a quick bite and glass of wine before seeing a show.  They serve a menu of small, medium, and large plates, and have an exceptional Fromager.  I adore the […]


Better Luck Next Year!

A little bit about my lost battle with the demon squirrels of Brooklyn. First, here are some photos of the tomato devastation: There were MANY other half-eaten tomatoes just lying around here and there too, however, they were never left and forgotten.  The squirrel ALWAYS came back and finished them. In this photo, you can see […]


Blistered Shishito Peppers

August 15, 2014

The most successful vegetable plants from my garden on The Veranda were the shishito pepper plants.  I always tried to pick them before they turned red and spicy, but even when I missed a few, they were not particularly hot or tough. To make this delicious and healthy snack, I just preheated a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat, […]


Tiny Little Harvest

July 8, 2014

My first little bounty from my garden on The Veranda!  Nothing much – a few shishito peppers and Asian eggplants – but still exciting.

It’s War!

June 17, 2014

Yesterday, I saw my first male flowers on my zucchini plants.  Aren’t they just lovely?  A close-up: This morning, I found THIS: So, it appears the squirrels know what’s up on The Veranda.  I was fairly sure this would happen, but kept hoping they would stick to the flourishing community garden down below and leave my little patch […]
