Finally put up a curtain in my room— so I don’t have to hide in the corner to dress. I also purchased a new set of sheets, which are organic apparently. I just thought they seemed both soft and shiny.
Quiet night… well, for a Saturday. The apartment is just me this weekend. But I have filled it not only with a newly curtained and sheeted room, but with delicious wine and cheese and portobello baked with paprika, cayenne, and turmeric (and of course evoo, salt, and pepper). The mushroom was delectable… obviously—-the wine was Gewurztraminer, so of course it’s good. Actually, this one was a bit sweeter than I prefer, but still tasty. It’s from Chile. Unfortunately the sweetness makes it really really easy to drink large amounts in short periods of time. Cheese=delish. mmmm. I got a cheese called ODRE from the cheese market this week. The cheese market being Brooklyn Larder, which is an amazing shop. They have a wonderful selection of imports.
Speaking of imports, I have this clotted cream sitting in my fridge. It’s lonely and desiring of scones. But I really don’t know where to go out an get good scones. I’m sure there are at least a couple decent scone bakeries in Brooklyn or within a reasonable vicinity, but I have yet to discover them.
Discoveries… I discovered a little coffee shop this morning. It is super nearby. It is called Breukelen Coffee Shop (not sure I spelled the first word correctly–apparently the original spelling of Brooklyn—hmmm). They have yummy cheaper-than-Starbucks-coffee. AND… wait for it.
BALTHAZAR baked goods/pastries. They have baguettes, croissants, etc. (I am searching for English scones, not french scones–unfortunately) But the discovery of this adorable petit cafe was a treat this morning. Apparently, they opened up shop yesterday. I look forward to frequenting it.
All in all–a good day.
ooh, Thursday is dinner at my grandparents, ie best night ever! seriously. It’s the best. You wish you had my grandparents.
