We are on the GOLD route, of course!
fresh mozzarella and prosciutto crudo with artichoke pesto and endive on seeded multigrain bread
gorgonzola dolce and thinly sliced apple (I've forgotten what kind), some radicchio and endive with a mustard dressing on ciabattina
zucchini and onion frittata on ciabatta with a mixed green and radicchio salad along with a tomato soup
sautéed portabello mushroom and pecorino with butter lettuce and fennel salad with a lemon vinaigrette and wholewheat toast
last night's roast pork tenderloin making an appearance with apple, cornichon and butter lettuce with a mustard dressing on the nice wholewheat from Wholefoods
fresh mozzarella, prosciutto crudo and some delicious yellow pepper in oil, garlic and parsley on a baguette with artichoke paste (we roasted the peppers this morning - without setting off the smoke alarm)
when there's no one else around we can indulge in the last tin of mackerel brought back from the co-op in Italy - on toasted baguette with a little mayo, white wine vinegar and chili powder along with a salad of endive and parsley and pine nuts
prosciutto di Parma and mozzarella panino - so good!
the often overlooked, or forgotten about egg salad - this one we made with mustard, mayo and chili powder on toast with cornichons and parsley, a green and radicchio salad and the fantastic pita chips
yellow and green! butternut squash soup with thin slices of jalepeno pepper and a sprinkle of New Mexico chili powder besides a green salad with saffron pecorino from di Palo's and pear
a pretty delicious pea and onion frittata today along with a basic salad and this really good sprouted multi grain bread, toasted
tuna salad with butter beans , parsley and red onion along with green salad witha mustard dressing
fresh from di Palo's - mozzarella and prosciutto crudo on multigrain bread
so, we're in 2010 with many lunches ahead - starting with lentils, smoked mackerel, a nice horseradish/tartar sauce, mixed green and endive salad
red leafed lettuce with beetroot, fresh french feta and prosciutto cotto - simple
continuing cold, so today we have butternut squash soup; roasted red peppers, zucchini, shallots along with fresh spinach, crucolo from Trentino and cibatta
it's freezing, so tomato soup is always good - along with avocado (olive oil, balsamic, sea salt, pepper and cilantro) and prosciutto cotto
we're working on (off)spring, so lunches have to be eaten on the sly - basically a nice assortment of pastas and sandwiches to keep us all going
looks good to me - tomato soup and one toast with fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula and sun-dried tomato and the other with artichoke paste and prosciutto crudo
not what we made, but what we had for lunch - a really good pizza from Grimaldi's down the road - no waiting in line, just call it in and collect!
penne with olive pesto, roasted yellow peppers, black olives, sun-dried tomato, mozzarella and chili oil
a country bread sandwich of gorgozola dolce with pear and a honey dressing on escarole - tasty!
another ham and cheese - prosciutto cotto with ementhal, tomato and basil on pizza bianca
a simple, but very good sandwich - prosciutto crudo, mozzarella, tomato and basil on a country bread. That's ham and cheese!
a nice tuna and canellini salad with red onion, capperi and an escarole and radicchio salad.
we went to the opening of who shot rock & roll? at Brooklyn Museum and then saw the window into Tina's mind - on 1st street
apparently this is it, but what is it? A nice moment before the MJ posters go up on wall on the Bowery
bottles in brooklyn - very nice wiped out white out
so damn weird! the 'ghostbusters' sky after the storm that felt like a tornado (when you're in a tent!) june 26th over NYC
suburban dreaming- some anonymous masking tape work on Ludlow St
saw this small addition in central park - nice touch
spotted in the new CB2 catalogue - this 'inspired' pillow on the right is so close to Elodie's (on the left) that it's painful. Lacking all the conceptual content of the original, this really is a pale imitation. We wish companies could be upfront and actually approach designers, paying them instead of knocking them off. ........Wait! - there's more!
The creation on the right is also in the catalogue, while the piece on the left is also Elodie's! I think CB2 paid us visit, don't you?
urban sheik!
with a swirl of plastic mac, NYchic is defined under the Manhattan bridge interesting note: a webster definition - usually sheik: a man held to be irresistably attractive to romantic young women
do we have a winter theme here - or is this Richard's car? (apparentlly not connected to 'happy new year' - this one was spotted on 19th St)
happy new year, New York City style - that's the spirit! nice (spotted on 1st St)
paranoid parking? we thought 'bumper bullys' were a stretch, but then we saw this parked on 2nd St.!
