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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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, […]
This is what I have been eating (and drinking) recently:
As I mentioned, I am trying not to waste anything in my fridge, and I had just enough of the Lemon and Horseradish Aioli leftover to make an intensely gluttonous BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato sandwich)! This sandwich would be delicious with just the above, if you aren’t a meat lover! […]
I rarely buy cold cuts, mainly because I can’t eat them fast enough, but on a whim I got some thinly-sliced roast beef from Fresh Direct. I decided to spice it up a bit and put a little kick in the pants of the old run-of-the-mill beefy ‘wich, by making a delicious lemon and […]
Yum, yum!! I got some ground bison meat from Fresh Direct on Saturday, so I thought I’d give it a go for dinner last night! Topped with an heirloom tomato from the farmers’ market, a slice of red onion, a sprinkle of gruyere cheese, ketchup, and on stone-ground/whole-wheat, sourdough toast (also from the farmers’ market) […]
After a trip to the farmers’ market, I was inspired to make a veggie dish! I have only made quinoa one other time, but thought it would pair perfectly with the eggplant and zucchini I picked up yesterday. This is what I did: Ingredients (Serves 2 as a main dish) 5 small eggplants […]
Went to James in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (605 Carlton Avenue) for brunch last Sunday. Love this place! While it can get a little pricey for dinner, brunch is very reasonable. They also just started serving lunch from 11:30 AM – 3 PM Tuesday through Friday, which I look forward to trying. Some other great […]
