Well, I had all these insightful posts to write last week but I didn't. So - I'll just tell you that I had a wonderful weekend.

Saturday, Kerry came over and we had a great time in the sunshine and warm enough to not wear a jacket weather. We got breakfast at Two LIttle Red Hens, walked to the Grand Army greenmarket, ate lunch at my favorite Thai place (Galanga), watched dogs at play, sunbathers, and a tyco drum group in Washington Square Park, visited my community garden, and went to a bookstore and got coffee in Cobble Hill. I also managed to cook a good dinner (a rarity for me) of brown rice with onions, peppers, and veggie kielbasa, zucchini with garlic and lime, and a salad with homemade dressing in which I successfully made an emulsion for the first time.

Sunday morning Patrick and I cooked breakfast before Kerry headed back to her parents' for Easter dinner. Patrick made us a picnic lunch and we took it over to Prospect Park to eat it. The park was very crowded, lots of people having cookouts, but we found a quiet spot. We walked a little around the park and then went home. After a little bit we called and found out the Chocolate Room was open, so we walked over there where I got to have the long awaited "best chocolate cake in the city" which was very very good. One thing I love there is that the chocolate is very good and satisfying, but they also are very good at figuring out how much of a serving to give people so you don't feel sick after eating. Then a quiet evening at home with a light dinner (since we had chocolate for dinner) and watching stuff on the Tivo. |
