Chocolate Thumbprints

Emily and my niece made these on Saturday night.  They were gone by Sunday.  I barely caught the few left to take a pic.  A Martha Stewart recipe from her Cookie cookbook.  A great addition to any kitchen.  2 sticks unsalted butter, plus 6 tbsp. at ...

Beef Bourguignon

My niece loves to cook.  This summer, she made a special request that when she came to NYC for Thanksgiving that we would make together like Julia Child.  How could I resist? I am not a huge fan of Beef stew but this turned out fantastic.  Beef ...

The Noodle Bar

Last night we went to thefor dinner.  As I have said before, and I will say again, there is a reason that David Chang is such a successful restaurateur...the food is innovative, delicious and like nothing else out there. The place was jammed.  We ...

New Amsterdam Market

The only takes place four times this year.  There is one left on December 20th.  It is a really cool market place that is reminiscent of what markets must have been like 200 years ago.  The Greenmarket with the twist of local purveyors selling their ...

The Upholstery Store

It has been a grueling week.  I seriously need some R and R and possibly sun?  I got movie tickets for tonight but honestly, that was too much.  Both Fred and I crawled down the street to have a few glasses of wine, cheese, pickled veggies and some ...

When Everything Changed...but did it?

First of all, the book is a great read.  Collins has done a really good job on this book by being more of a journalist than a Op-ed writer.  She is giving a full account on the history of women over the past 50 or so years.  This is a book that should ...

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

After dinner last night, we grabbed a cab and headed down to the Bowery Ballroom.  One of my favorite venues.  We got there around 11 just as were coming on.  The good news is, we know the trick to get to the front of the stage.  Sorry, can't share. ...

Convivio

Yesterday as I made my way around the city, I had stuck this weeks issue of the New Yorker in my bag.  It is the food issue.  Over the course of the day, I read the first article which was all about the Michelin guide and a Michelin reviewer and how ...

Lentil and Sweet Potato Soup

Another Ad Hoc recipe.  This book is almost like an education.  The tiny little things that Keller does it why his food tastes so delicious.  This soup is fantastic.  Each step is worthwhile. 8 ounces of bacon ( you are supposed to use slab bacon ...

Chicken and Sausage

The next couple of nights I am going to try a few recipes out of the Ad Hoc cookbook.  Tonight was chicken and sausage.  Super easy. One whole chicken cut in 8 pieces ( you can certainly buy the separate pieces but I like to do it this way ) 3 Sweet ...
