I’m now convinced that I need a freezer full of ravioli’s from Dave’s Fresh Pasta. I haven’t had Dave’s for close to a year, I was in Somerville yesterday and made it a point to stop in. I’m still trying to find a fresh pasta guy in my new neighborhood in Brooklyn to satisfy the [...]

Gimme! Caffeine
January 3rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Brooklyn, Reviews
I am more of a tea drinker and usually drink more tea than anyone I know. Lately, I’ve been craving fancy coffee beverages and needed a fix. I want to thank Gimme! Coffee in advance for keeping me up all night tonight. Your mocha latte is ridiculously delicious and I’m already [...]

Super Sloppies.

Vegan slop-sloppy joes.
October 1st marks the first day of the eat local challenge. It’s day one and I am already chalking this years challenge up as an epic failure for me personally. Mainly the neighborhood supermarkets are slightly scary, and definitely are not even close to being on the organic bandwagon yet. [...]

A bike ride, a water taxi and pupusa’s
September 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment · Brooklyn, Reviews
All roads lead to Red Hook.
So it started off as any other Sunday morning would. The weather was great, the air was starting to crisp with fall now upon us. This is prime bike riding weather, as it’s still warm enough. Perfect for shorts and a long sleeve shirt. I have [...]

A slightly higher brow approach to Wellfleet’s bastard fish.
I can still remember getting pushed out of bed by my dad before the sun was even up. We would make it from Dennis to Wellfleet before the sun eventually pushed through on those grey Cape Cod mornings. My grandfather had an old center console boat at [...]

Cannoli deconstruction.
August 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Brooklyn
Maybe?

I made a quick deconstructed cannoli.
1 cup ricotta~1/4 cup confectioners sugar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1 tablespoon lemon juice1 tablespoon lemon zest for garnish
Tasted great like a lemony cannoli filling pudding, but would have [...]

Factory Fresh

Tortilleria Los Hermanos…with out factory tastes.
Behind the unassuming factory doors of Bushwick’s, Tortilleria Los Hermanos, lies something special. Not only are they pumping out case after case of homemade tortillas for purchase and distribution regionally and possibly nationally, they are also utilizing these ultra fresh tortillas at their in-house taco stand.
For gringos like me [...]

Little Moscow by the sea
June 20th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Brooklyn
So I’m coming to the conclusion that there is nothing better than having fast and cheap public transportation that will take you from your door to countless destinations including many beaches within an hour. After a rather disappointing trip to rock, rock, rock-a-away beach I decided to see what other seaside destinations the silver [...]

Leaving Behind the Trucker Hat
March 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Brooklyn
The New York Times ran an excellent article yesterday on the young farmers movement. The Times interviewed the two young farmers who left life behind in Brooklyn to start the The Hearty Roots Community Farm in upstate New York. I found this article to be quite inspiring as I’ve thought about doing this myself [...]
