Veggie Grill Packet

Amazing weather up here in NY finally. At the moment, we’re grilling up these little packets of vegetables my friends Ryan and Meghan showed me years ago. Just foil packets of mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc with salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Close them up and throw them on the grill alongside your meats. So easy for some steamed delicious veg.

Poor Dora the Explorer Cake

Saw this birthday cake in the window of a Mexican bakery on Grand St in Brooklyn today. I think it scared Rusty.

Friday Fish from 18th St & 6th Ave Halal Street Cart

Last week, I found another street food cart that has a Friday fish special ($5). It doesn’t look as nice as the last one I had from another halal cart, but this was better prepared/cooked. The spicy rice here was actually spicy. I was sweating balls.

Located on the South East corner of 18th St and 6th Ave. Manhattan, New York.

Ai Ootsuka – “Ramen 3 Minute Cooking” Concert Video

Japanese pop star singing about ramen. The song is three minutes long. So when it’s over, your noodles are done cooking. Thanks for the link, Sam.

1834 Bar & Burger Grand Opening Party

Out at the 1834 Bar & Burger Grand Opening Party last night. A line down the street to get in. Crazy watching people attack a plate of hors d’oeuvres. The sliders were good, cooked medium rare. Matt liked the bun. My new friends raved about the bacon wrapped tator tots they ordered there before. We found some left on a tray at the end of the night. Still a line outside when we left.

Unfortunately the kitchen wasn’t open, so I’ll have to come back and report on the burgers properly …and hopefully catch someone daring enough to attempt the 10 pound burger challenge. Wouldn’t that person die if they ate it all?
