Walking Feast, Round 1

A few weeks back now, I met up with the lovely Rochelle of Sexy Girls Eat for a Walking Feast.  If you have to ask what a Walking Feast is, why are we friends?  I’m just teasing.  It is as simple – and as wonderful – as it sounds.  A feast while walking.  Admittedly, some of our feasting was done while seated, but the eating began around 1 pm and we didn’t part ways until 2 am.  The damage we could have done is far worse than actually was done – I was having issues and apologized profusely to the [...]

Meatless Week 4 Recap!

Ah, Week 4, how you taunt me so.  If you’ll recall, I announced last week that I’d be foregoing both meat and fish going forward.  Yup.  Did that.  Was it hard?  Not moreso than meat.  I did start to crave, of all things, dumplings, but I can fend that off.  Be sure that I’ll be going on a revised Dumpling Tour in a few weeks, though!  I’m getting through this, though again, I’m a little nervous, this time because my blood loss is increasing exponentially and I really don’t look forward to fainting in the middle of anything.  I’m going [...]

Recipe Fridays: Portobello Pandemonium

Leo’s Bagels

Whenever I hear about a new place opening in the Financial District close to my office, I get excited, even though I don’t plan on being here forever (I swear it!).  I even walked down there to take pictures of the place when it first opened, but I forgot to post them cuz I don’t use Flickr and whatever.  I kind of forgot about them for a while since I’ve been focusing on bringing lunch.  But then, as usual, the lovely Daniel Krieger reminded me with a post on Midtown Lunch: Downtown Lunch that the place was open, in business, and bringing [...]
