Really?

Percy (dog) just dug up and ate another dog’s poop; Oliver insisted on running with Jack’s lunch box and now has an enormous brushburn; I now have blood on my white shirt; he’s also screaming that everything is his; Jack will not stop talking and is trying to smooth rocks but rubbing them vigorously against each other on my dining room table; at least he got a placemat to work on. 

Note: the wine is going into the fridge now.

PS- The store also put my heirloom tomato (read: $$) on the bottom of my bag. Guess what is split now?! Shnikeys!

NYC

T and I are headed to NYC this weekend, alone, and I am soooo excited. We’re staying right near the Union Square Greenmarket, and, as you can imagine, I plan to shop/eat there on multiple occasions. We’re also going to Red Cat and Gramercy Tavern, two restaurants I’ve long wanted to experience. And, as a random extra bonus to our hotel location (Un Sq), the Whole Foods there has these insanely good vegan spelt brownies (no, I swear, they are divine), and excellent coffee, Joe [the Art of Coffee], is nearby. We will also be heading to Stumptown for some Hairbender beans.

I just tried to buy Book of Mormon tickets but they are $637 apiece. Say what? So, we will, unfortunately, not be seeing that. The Normal Heart still has reasonably priced tickets though so I might try to convince T to come with me to that, or I might just go by myself.

Spicy Shrimp and Spaghetti Aglio Olio

A reader just called to my attention the fact that I had not posted the recipe for that fab Spicy Shrimp and Garlic pasta I raved about a few weeks back. It’s posted now in Em-i-lis Recipes.

I’m hungry!!!
