So my apologies for being away so long, but I have been busy! I am moving just a couple blocks away from my lovely Harlem brownstone, so the last couple weeks have been devoted to paperwork, painting, and packing. In the meantime I have been storing up recipes and restaurant reviews to share later.
A highlight of last weekend was walking past chef
Marcus Samuelsson on Frederick Douglass Boulevard. I have become recently obsessed with Marcus since watching him on
Top Chef Masters. My friends and I have been rooting for him every week, although I found him rather ice cold on his first appearance on the show, I quickly forgot about it. I wanted to stop him on the street, but I thought it would be a bit creepy. There were so many questions I wanted to ask - like when is his new Harlem restaurant called
Red Rooster opening? Or who wins
Top Chef Masters?! Not that he would tell me.
Other things that have caught my eye these past couple weeks:
Cool infographics on food spending nationwide - click

Get-Set Placemats from
Hello Hannah that make me want to be a kid again - click

Braided Lemon Bread from one of my favorite food blogs -
Smitten Kitchen. I have some hand-picked lemons from California that I have been dying to use. Hopefully I can make it on Monday. Click

Don't forget to check out last year's makings: delicious
strawberry-rhubarb syrup,
rhubarb tart with orange glaze, and
planting an herb garden.
