We're off

/

I do not even know (or care) my name right now, I'm so tired. For so many, potentially fake, reasons, jack and and I were up most of the night and ended up sleeping fitfully together in the basement, his head nestled (read: mashed) into my neck, 75% of the bed left empty. Apparently he did, at some point, also get up and head upstairs to color me a rescue helicopter. It says I love Emily on it and is one of the cutest things ever, but needless to say, he's not real rested today, and neither am I. So, it's with relief that we're on the road to Philly. Whee!! We're eating at Distrito tonight which is fab and will also do some foodie shopping and napping beforehand!

Deee-licious

Peeps, I invented a steak rub tonight that is fantastic. Take coriander seeds and white peppercorns, put into a coarse-grinder, and grind into a small bowl. Add a decent amount of kosher salt, some crushed red pepper flakes and some dried mint. Stir together and coat each filet with as much as you can. Fab. I'm not sure how it's possible, but I have become a pan-seared-oven-roast steak master(ess). They were a lovely complement to the Sour Mash Mash which I couldn't help but topping with the rest of the caramelized onions I had in the fridge. Fab. Off to watch the most recent Up All Night. Em-i-lis signing off, full and tired and excited for the weekend.
