cours saleya {nice}

March 15, 2011 in adventures, meat

1. you say tomahto? really?

2. savon

3. didn't eat enough of those...

4. my new friend, the lapin!!

5. pretty beta carotenes

6. hot dog bun {except, in france, a saucisson brioche?}

7. fleur

imagine your local green market on crack and acid. give him a french accent and call him gaspard. no. call him the cours saleya. and love it to death because, mes amies, it is totally amazing. the veggies and flowers were fresh and photogenic, the pastries were cheap and unreal, and the mustards! i bought six in one day. a new record. including a violet flavored one which was gross, but props to it for existing. and we met the friendliest bunny! and the saucisson brioche was so scrumptious/snappy/buttery. i want to go back there right now: i'll acquire a baguette and some jam and take a little lunch to the park... ahhhh j'aime le cours saleya!

-yeh!!

did: milan

March 13, 2011 in adventures, travel

1. duomo

2. navigli district, where aperitivo happened that night

3. bicycle tee shirt! bicycle tee shirt!!!!!!!

4. being asian

5. browsing shops on via ticinese {for "high end street wear"}

the thing about milan is that if your apartment in new york is a 15 minute bike ride away from 5th avenue, and if you've seen the duomo or something like it, and if you weren't on top of your things enough to order tickets for la scala, the only thing left to do is eat and hang out with sarah. so what we did in milan was not wildly unusual. except when i found my bicycle tee shirt, it was the best day of my life.

-yeh!!!

the day i overdosed on food.

October 10, 2010 in lunch, adventures, holidays and celebrations

if i made a list of everything that i ate today, you would be shocked. i would be grossed out. the world would explode.

so take cover because i'm going to do just that...

the following was eaten between the hours of noon and 5pm today, at the new york city wine and food festival:

a tongue slider, a bacon cheeseburger, tater tots filled with bacon, a bacon egg roll, vanilla ice cream with wasabi dust, a sprinkle cookie, two ham and cheese crepes, a lamb sandwich, a lamb taco, a korean taco, another taco, bone marrow and oxtail marmalade on brioche, vanilla mousse, a chocolate caramel cupcake, tater salad, a super spicy kati roll, pork on rice, lamb and figs on couscous, a fluffer nutter cookie sandwich, a falafel wrap, a blondie, a mexican chocolate brownie, a peanut butter and jelly cookie sandwich, about six other unidentified sandwiches...

and to wash it all down i had egg creams, vodka, cherry vodka, wine, smart water, and milk shakes.
