rock lobstah: special guest food adventure!
There are a lot of things we love about food, but one of our very favorites is the way it connects people. I mean, everybody eats, right?! In our opinion, sharing a meal is the best (most delicious!) way to get to know someone. So when we decided it was high-time we met Tara and Inessah, the amazing ladies behind Sublet clothing, a food adventure seemed like the perfect way to do it. And when Tara suggested the new east village seafood joint, Luke’s Lobster, well, we knew we’d get along famously.

Butternut Squash Soup + Chubble Bread = Match made in Heaven
We are always a bit sad to say good-bye to summer, but saying hello to fall means welcoming the wonders of butternut squash soup and chubble bread back into our lives and THAT is something to get excited about. This is the dynamic duo of seasonal dinners, and once you make it, I promise it will become an autumn staple. I am a butternut squash soup connoisseur, if I do say so myself, and this version is my absolute fave: thick and smooth and oh-so-tasty with just the right hint of thyme and sage. It’s great on its own, but paired with the garlicy, oniony, cheesy goodness of chubble bread (I didn’t name it, but I love to say it!), it is outta this world. So do yourself a favor and invite this pair to dinner. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to lick the bowl. And who are we to stop you?!

FRRRRRRREEEENNNCCCCHHH TOAST
Lisa loves brunch and she loves french toast, even more she loves saying: “frrrrrrrrreeeeench TOast,” a la the drunk girl from The 40 Year Old Virgin. So for her birthday, I whipped up some Pumpkin French Toast to start her birthday day off great.
It’s best to make this perfect fall breakfast treat with day old bread, cause fresh bread soaks up too much batter and no one likes mushy french toast. Also, I sliced up super thin slices to make my own cinnamon toast crunch (resourceful!). Read on for the deets.
