Grilled Cheese Avocado and Ramen

Funny, I had SUCH cravings for the above.

I didn't even realize how much until I ate it and then had a sense memory of what was going on.

Also for brunch.  Also for Korean food, but I left that all out this time.

It's the food of Greenpoint, of a different home.

Even of work, Eatsa and Poke Salads.  Ah, tuna!!

How I missed it!!

So there is a service that will bring restaurant lunch take out to Waltham.

You can pay for EXCELLENT greasy food 5 days a week, or 4 if your company buys lunch on Fridays.

For some reason, food has lost its appeal for me.  I used to be so excited about LUNCHES ALONE.  And I probably still am, I just don't get to have them.  Alone with my computer.

My New Old Favorite

Everything is better with French food and champagne.

Hen of the Woods mushrooms, and a few baked eggs and some bread.

And a cappuccino.

For my birthday, and any day I wish to spend too much on bfast.

Dojo

Walking by Dojo, why did I remember it to be a crunchy-granola place?  It's Japanese, NOT specializing in Sushi!!

I ordered a madellaine, a fried tofu burger.  Suddenly I was transported back to my early days in the city, the first time.  When it was all I could afford, so I savored it.

The 2 gay guys next to me were being so precious about their conversation.  Preening about poetry, using all the super-meta words.  Exaggerating in front of each other, who is more gay, who is more smart.  NYU Grad students/teachers.

It took me back to those days....

Dar Brunch

Scrambled Eggs & Mergues

Hen of the field

Hen of the Forest

11am, Saturday Brunch, Hen of the Forest Mushroom Omelette.

1 couple sitting across from a male. Out on the sidewalk. The conversation is only between the female of the couple and the uncoupled man.

I hate pancakes, but these look really good!

I think that's the point.

Our house manager has the recipe down to a science

And having a baby, I mean, she's home breastfeeding, but figuring out how everybody, all my friends, do it. I mean, my mom had 3 kids and zero money, but that was in Saratoga. Good schools.

-Does anyone wanna share the baked eggs?

My parents just went to Russia, I mean, good for them! While you can! 

We went to Gheorgia for our honeymoon.

In Gheorgian /Georgian culture, if there are more than 4 people, then it turns into a "supra"

You can only drink when there's a toast.

The first toast is always about why we are here. I wouldn't want to wait...

Ghosha, she had a good time. She was the default Tamara-translates into toastmaster. I always translate it to booze-hound. She's too young to drink, but she's the toastmaster wherever she goes!

They have a house, and he used to do the music for music hall of Williamsburg, and then they have another house, and then another house

Her work has blown up, she sells to Anthropologie

Where was I going with this.

She just quit her job one day and starting doing this and it took off within a couple of weeks.

American Apparel was stealing her designs.

Is that true?

Yeah!! And now she's had a baby and moved upstate.

She taught her husband how to do this for St Patrick's day and now they get asked for it all the time.

And she does the wallpaper....

All the pictures look like this (toddler tracing for the phone) because she's obsessed with it. They must make some children's version of this, we can't be the only parents...

I'll take you to the kids store after this.

You're so limited in how you can shape your children's personality....No doubt you can fuck up a child. We need to get her a treadmill... But when Ghosha has play dates, we really see....She goes up to other kids and smacks them. She'll even snack her reflection in the mirror. My uncle frank has quiet kids.

Robin gets kicked out of bars all the time. As soon as we see her start to argue, we're like, we gotta go.

And then she gave me a lap dance...

Shonda and I were just watching this crazy ass show in front of us.
