I picked up a few pounds of rhubarb at the Greenpoint farmers market last Saturday really cheap. I think I ended up with somewhere around 5 lbs. for $3.00, can’t complain. I also bought a small quart of super sweet field strawberries to make the classic strawberry-rhubarb jam.
Jam making is so easy and so worth [...]

I think Motorino is slowly turning into my favorite pizza shop.
The table next to me left a pile of crust. I instantly compared that to throwing away artisan baked bread because their dough is so damn good. The thought of grabbing them crossed my mind for a split second after they left, but I was [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
