New Year’s Eve 2008-2009 in Park Slope, Brooklyn

Date January 3, 2009

This year Karen and I hatched a brilliant New Year’s Eve plan that would allow us to eat, drink and dance, while never having to leave our beloved borough. Here’s a quick recap:
We started off the evening with some excellent sushi from the folks across the street at Geido (highly recommend if you’ve never been) [...]

Meat-O-Lanterns

Date October 26, 2008

This weekend we were supposed to head out to Long Island for our annual pumpkin picking outing for my Mom’s birthday. It’s super fun and we tend to eat everything in sight at the farm (roasted corn, apples, lemonade, hot dogs, cotton candy, baked goods) and then we go home and eat even more for [...]

West Coast Road Trip 2008!

Date October 25, 2008

A few weeks ago, Karen and I set off for a Fall vacation. This was the plan: fly in to San Francisco for 1 night, go to Napa for 2 nights, drive up the coast of CA (1 night), spend 1 night in to Portland, OR before heading to Vancouver, BC (2 nights) and finally [...]

So many TOADS

Date July 19, 2008

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 [...]

I’m 30!

Date April 24, 2008

I turned 30 last weekend! Friday to be exact.
Despite turning what seems to be very old, I had an excellent weekend. We kicked off the festivities on Thursday evening with a last minute plan to go to the Yankee/Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium. Thanks, Mo! Dennis and Matt were up for the last [...]

Virginia Chutney: building a chutney empire - one jar at a time.

Date April 6, 2008

Here’s a great piece about the Virginia Chutney Company (made of up of our friend Oliver Turner and his lovely parents) and how, whether you realize it or not, chutney is sweeping the nation. In fact,
…if you think you’ve never eaten chutney, you’re probably wrong. Ever had ketchup? Or McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce on [...]

Waffles (wafels) and Dinges

Date April 5, 2008

Phew!
I just had a minor freak out when I saw my friend Donny’s flickr stream that he posted photos of his visit to the Wafels and Dinges truck in Brooklyn last week (note: not the first Saturday of the month as today is, as when I was anticipating that the waffles would be back in [...]

Which mega-corporation owns your favorite little organic brand?

Date March 15, 2008

Not to say we were completely delusional about the business nature behind these things, but it still hurts to see the truth right in front of your face - seeing our buddies Kashi and Bear Naked on this list was particularly disheartening (Oddly enough both under the same parent company. Maybe we secretly love Kellogg’s?) [...]
