So many TOADS

Some TOAD highlights from the last month….
I can’t think of a single shower that we’ve had this summer that wasn’t a total downpour. Here’s the result of a Saturday afternoon storm a few weeks ago. It flooded our entire patio (as we watched) and then later we wondered “Hmm. Do you think the basement is flooded?” In fact it was. We spent the next several hours drying out the basement. Being a homeowner comes with so many perks.
We checked out the New Amsterdam market a few weeks back where one can find delicious cheeses, breads, and seafood. And directly across the street, you can find some of the best bluefish and lobster burgers at the Fish Market.
The new, sweet fountains around the bridges. Exceptionally nice at night when paired with Brooklyn Ice Cream factory goodness.
We finally checked out Lucali’s pizza in Carrol Gardens. We waited about an hour on a holiday weekend, but it was well worth the wait. This place is run out of the ground floor of a rowhouse that feels like someone’s home. You can watch your pizza being made right in front of your table. It was awesome to see the pizza maker pull a mushroom out of a bowl of fresh vegetables and just start shredding it over the pizza that arrived at our table 10 minutes later. If you decide to check it out, and I recommend you do, remember it’s BYOB.
Do you think there is any chance this phone rings the muppet theme song? I can’t imagine anything better.
While sitting on the tarmac for three hours last week, I stumbled upon this screen while flipping through the channels. You’re welcome Jet Blue.
