Flatbush Farm continues to not disappoint. A few weeks ago, we had an awesome romantic dinner in their bar. This afternoon we biked down there to meet some friends for their monthly barbecue. There was venison, Six Point beer, and a bluegrass band, three of Jesse's favorite things, so we basically had to go. The bar was surprisingly not crowded, considering what a good deal the food is at $2-5 per item on the menu above. But that left plenty of...

Thanks and giving
Posted on 9:10 PM by Unknown
Considering that every food blog I've been ready lately has been obsessed with Thanksgiving, it seems ironic that I didn't even cook anything for Thanksgiving. I hope to make Thanksgiving next year, to cook wonderful, flavorful foods that I know to be local and organic. Maybe I'm turning into too much of a food critic and greenie nazi. But considering that Thanksgiving is supposed to be about celebrating eating, I believe it should be all about...

Brooklyn Bike Tour II: Destination Red Hook
Posted on 3:35 PM by Unknown
This is my block in Williamsburg, where new condos are sprouting up everywhere. Notice how much taller the beige building in the top right corner is than all the other vinyl sided row houses? Around the corner, there used to be an old factory in this lot, now vacant except for one obnoxious piece of machinery. I didn't have a chance to photograph them, but three of the four corners of this intersection are all empty boarded lots, warehouses that...

Brooklyn Bike Tour
Posted on 7:30 PM by Unknown
Last weekend, I braved the cold and ventured on a 16 mile bike ride throughout Brooklyn, from Williamsburg, whizzing under the Williamsburg bridge (above) through prettier neighborhoods of Brooklyn, including Fort Greene below. Maybe I live in the wrong neighborhood, I pondered during the ride.I stopped in Park Slope to visit Bierkraft, because I was really interested in checking it out. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but I like that the beers...

Part 1: CrostiniThe night before I made the bread. It...

Halloween Treats
Posted on 10:56 AM by Unknown
Last weekend, I hosted a Halloween party at my apartment, complete with decorations, costumes, and season treats. Toasted Pumpkin SeedsI gave Jesse the task of carving the pumpkin, and when I returned, I was pleasantly surprised by his unique and well-carved interpretation. "It's a girl?" I said. "Of course it's a girl, it has a girl shape!" he responded. Okay then, if you say so.I took the innards out of the pumpkin. The stringy guts weren't worth...
