Cucumber Cosmos!
Sorry for the stock photo. I let a friend of mine borrow my camera for a few weeks and I'm starting to realize how much I miss it. (And how often I take pictures of food and drinks). Anyways, I googled some photos and also found some recipes online, but nothing was like mine, so here's my recipe:1/4 cucumber (sliced into chunks and muddled)
1 shot of Orange vodka (or Cointreau if your splurging)
1 shot of Lemon vodka
a heavy splash of white-cranberry juice (I kind of eyeball it - just enough to make it sweet, but not too sweet)
Put into a shaker with ice and sha- sha- sha- shake it!
Strain out into chilled martini glasses.
It's refreshing and delicious and a great spin on a classic cosmopolitan!

Blizzard walks
This is us in the subway on our way home from Brooklyn. We had dinner with our friends then had to walk home during a blizzard. I was trying to portray annoyance in my face. Can you see it? (Thanks for the photo Heidi - I so took this from your blog!)
All of us looking so sweet - except Curtis. He looks like he wants to kill someone. All we were missing was Todd and Robin!Tuesday, December 15, 2009
B + H
I had the best grilled cheese ever at B + H the other day. It was a rainy Sunday and Crystal (my house guest for the weekend had just left). We walked over to A and 8th and into this tiny little crowded diner. Warning: If you are claustrophobic or expect amazing service, you won't like this place. We sat at the diner bar and ordered a grilled cheese with tomato soup. The cook didn't speak English very well. He served us Omelets with potato. I looked at him and said, "THIS is grilled cheese?" And he apologized and took it away and remade our order. Typically, I would feel bad if this happened in another restaurant - but he was spastic and I didn't stutter. It was clearly his fault. Anyways - once we got our sandwich it was heavenly. The grilled buttery challah bread was light and airy. The tomato and melted cheese was divine. And the tomato soup was like something the Fashion Soup lady would make - amazing. Next time I may order it and pick it up. Eating in this place leaves something less to be desired.

Time to hibernate...

I love friends that love food.
For dinner I had: DUCK DUCK DUCK MADRAS ROASTED DUCK BREAST, CONFIT RISOTTO, DUCK EGG, MANDARIN OOLONG REDUCTION. Missy had this crazy seafood dish with citrus butter. It came in a Moroccan clay pot. I think it was new because I can't find it on the menu online. Matt had: SUGI-ITA SALMON JAPANESE CEDAR WRAPPED ORGANIC SALMON, MAPLE SHIITAKE BROTH, ORGANIC EGG, YAMAIMO.
We shared a dessert that wasn't online either. It was this tiny chocolate mouse cake with ganache and sea salt. I could only do one bite because I was soooo full.
