Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies
This was a complete random find - I was biking around Red Hook and had paused by the side of the road to look at my map. I look up to see a sign dangling in the wind and almost shrugged it off as a remnant of the past - until I saw a newer lime green 'key lime pies' sign further down the road. I followed the signs... and lo and behold:

Shrimp chips to start off dinner at a favorite haunt of mine, Boyd Thai.
A lovely meal - a luxury, in every sort of way - live music, glass of wine, yummmy soft-shelled crabs, and a spot to people-watch from at the end of the bar.

Corned beef hash with poached eggs, Wilfie & Nell
I have always wanted to eat here and finally stumbled across it on Saturday while meandering through West Village. It was the perfect lil' treat for myself. I can't wait to go back :)

You know the nectarines and peaches are sweet if they're covered with bees!

Pie! from Four and Twenty Birds, Gowanus, Brooklyn
The most delicious of the three we tried, the Nectarine Blueberry will make you smile a summery smile, most involuntarily!

Experimenting with BW filter and masking in Photoshop...

Cucumbers: with vinaigrette above, with feta and a bit of chili powder (for experiment) below.
I don't usually buy cucumbers - it's crunchy and it's got that field-y flavor that makes me feel like a cow munching on grass. Last week, however, it was on sale and super-fresh, so I decided to give them another try and see if I could make friends with it.


And I did. :)

Deliciousness. The La Chouffe was my very first and an absolute delight.

Moldy grape. :(
I was on autopilot and chomping on these while at work. It wasn't until I had reached the bottom of the bag that I found this one. I hope I didn't eat any moldy ones...

Surprise birthday dinner for J @PT
I rarely use the non-adjustable flash on my camera because I hate the direct glare it gives to my photos. However! My good friend was shooting our friends at the table and snapped one just when I was shooting my food. Her flash did wonders and now I have an accidental shot I'm very happy with!

Fooding @Zerza
Don't know whether it had to do with the dishes we ordered, but my friend's chicken bastilla and my couscous chicken berber were both extremely sweet. Not very dinner-like, almost ruined my appetite for dessert. Otherwise, fun night!
