The Lilly males recently enjoyed some pizza from Andriano's in Delmar - if you go there, I strongly recommend their white pizza. In their absence, I took the opportunity to make a completely self-indulgent, throw-on-whatever-I-want kind of pizza for myself. I started with purchased dough simply because it was BOGO at the Chopper and I had some … Continue reading Pizza for grown-ups

Irish Girl Matzo Ball Soup
I have a friend who insists that I'm Jewish (she claims that my brisket is solid evidence that I am a tribe member). I must confess to a fondness of chicken liver pate, gefilte fish and religious services followed by cake - and Matzo Ball Soup.

Veteran’s breakfast @Victor’s

We didn't buy advance tickets, and despite arriving reasonably early ~11:45, we got shut out. Since I like to think that the event was prompted by a comment I made on … Continue reading Sake Cafe – New Scotland Avenue
NYC – Day 3: Angela Lansbury!
On Wednesday morning, Tom packed up the two younger Lilly boys and headed pack to Albany to resume his restaurant responsibilities at Dale Miller. Liam & I left the apartment right behind them and went straight to the TKTS booth to queue up for matinee tickets.
