it’s been awhile…

and so much eating in the interim. rare, seared tuna in a crunchy salad and my favorite “squeaky” fried cheese curds (but the name lies! THEY DO NOT SQUEAK) at half-pint (also trusted purveyor of the delicious leffe blanc – don’t know how to say it’s name, but it’s a yummy, light, fruity beer that they always have at half-pint).

pistachio macarons at tisserie that were spring-time in cookie form (so much pistachio-ness! the prettiest green color, the perfect flavor, so rich and chewy-crispy with squishy middle). what else? i can’t even remember all the yummy food. chinese take-out from friend house (love the name!) – definitely beats suzie’s, and it’s pretty much the same price. cheese fries at yola’s and greek yogurt salad at oasis.

hosting my first passover seder (the ugliest matzoh balls ever, but they were fluffy and delicious! along with my first savory kugel – adding an almond and parmesan crust was a stroke of genius).

giant bubble teas from tea spot, gelato from yolato (but they never have their incredibly refreshing aloe flavor! sad times) and the newly opened grom (i think my school is located in the most ice-cream heavy district in the city). sushi at the new sushi place in the village, gen sushi (far surpasses doo zo, and for the same price – i’m sold).

trips to the union square farmer’s market for the biggest carrots and apples in the world (husband had fun playing with the parsnips – they’re such weird-looking vegetables!). and just this moment, ending the passover celebration with a trip to mighty diamond, which has redeemed itself since our first visit with hot curry “goat” (seitan), “creamed” corn, garlicky collard greens and chili-lime quinoa, among other tasty dishes.

so much good eating. but so much studying for finals that i’ve been remiss. one day this will be fixed. for now, you just got the highlights, so what more do you want from me? my brain is mush after spending too many hours on judicial review, so i’m sure i’ve left out something delicious, but i’ll add that when i remember again. yay.
