Veteran’s breakfast @Victor’s
After an evening of great food and wine, we headed out for breakfast and shopping. The plan was to head to the Meat Packing District to grab some food and then shop and sight see our way to Macy's. In my experience any eating establishment with the word "Diner" in the name, usually satisfies, and … Continue reading Veteran’s breakfast @Victor’s

This morning I was feeling like something soft and creamy so the natural … Continue reading Scrambled

Tuesday evening, I took a walk to the DelSo Farmer's Market and was magnetically drawn to the Asian eggplant. They were so beautiful that I had no choice but to scoop some up and … Continue reading She’s Like a Rainbow
