A lingering languorous lunch

September 15, 2012 By morgan

During Granny’s recent visit east, Gammy treated us all to a fabulous lunch at The Golden Lamb Buttery in Brooklyn (Connecticut). The day and setting was perfect and it was wonderful to be able to eat slowly and unhurried. We spent hours at our table enjoying our meal, sipping Bloody Mary’s before, and nibbling on desserts after. Thanks Judy!!

In the spirit of my friend Katie, whose blog posts make you salivate with envy, behold:

Chilled Borscht

Tarte Provencale + Dill Chips with a Gin Bloody Mary in the background

Lamb Ragout + Gnocci (gluten-free !)

To eat or not to eat

zac + laptop == dilemma

Status Report:
Zac: sleeping soundly
Morgan: ravenous, but has tons of work to do

Option 1 – stay put and work
PRO: In this current body position I can probably squeeze in an hour of work AND have the use of both of my hands (which way more than doubles my one-handed productivity while writing code – I’d say 2-handed typing is about 5.7 times as effective as 1-handed typing).

CON: I may pass out due to low blood sugar at any moment

Option 2 – risk it and get something to eat
PRO: I’ll probably be more productive and remain conscious with a higher blood sugar level

CON: This will almost certainly wake Zac up and I’ll have to revert to one-handed computer programming

I’m looking for creative solutions here. What would you do?

Thai-ing your shoes restaurant

scene: Milo and I, walking down the snowy sidewalk last night to go order some takeout for dinner.

Milo: What kind of restaurant are we going to?

Me: A Thai food restaurant.

pause…

Milo: Like a tying your shoes restaurant?

Raw spinach and Crumbled Gorgonzola

January 8, 2011 By morgan

Milo has had a cold for the past few days. Tonight Rachel made dinner: simple pasta with tomatoes and steamed broccoli (2 of Milo’s favorites). He didn’t touch a bite and instead opted for a dinner of undressed raw spinach with crumbled Gorgonzola (components of our salad).

The kid is peculiar.

Had a great dinner up at the New Leaf Café in Fort Tryon Park (thanks for the tip Katie!).

Our future baby sitters – scary.
