Special Requests
Last week was Heather’s birthday and her only special requests were that we do a low-key, intimate dinner and for it to be gluten and meat-free. We were happy to oblige, being that she is one of our nearest and dearest friends. So we had a bit of a challenge on our hands since we love our bread and gluten, but we’ve been meaning to try a vegan/gluten-free week soon so this was a good test. The dinner was successful and very grown-up, a small dinner party in our make-shift dining room.

The Ultimate Craving
We are really excited to be a part of Issue 2 of Remedy Quarterly, not only is it a great magazine but created by really amazing people. Half of the creators are one of our favorite couples ever, Aaron and Kelly Carambula. This new issue is all about cravings, with contributions by David Lebovitz and Ashley English to name a few. And for us, what more would we crave than sweets and fried food, FRIED CHICKEN and WAFFLES. Yes, together and yes, it’s delicious!

Special Guest Food Adventure: Lana Kim
Summer here in New York is hot and humid, and to any West Coaster like Lana Kim it could feel like hell. The famed Lana from The Lana Show, a funny online videocast where she interviews different musicians from Blonde Redhead to Fat Lip to Girl Talk about their favorite music videos. She’s also the head of music videos at The Directors Bureau and not only that, she’s also in the rockin’ band J-Lep. But best of all, Lana is one of a kind and one of the most amazing people you’ll ever meet. Phew, that’s a whole lot. She came out for a short visit during one of the hottest and most humid days but of course that didn’t stop us from trekking out to Crown Heights for a Food Adventure! Why Crown Heights? Because we had to try Peaches for some good Southern cookin,’ and because we love their sister restaurant, the Smoke Joint.

Berry, berry refreshing!
Summer has officially arrived here in New York, which means sweltering heat mixed with the unrelenting humidity. Basically we’ll do anything to keep cool (a LOT of Mister Softies, Italian Ices, People’s Pops). So when we spotted some fresh strawberries and a bushel of mint at the Farmer’s Market this weekend we knew Strawberry Mint Lemonade was in our near future. This drink will quench your thirst and cool you down, at least just for a little bit. Enjoy!
