Look homeward, Angel

You can come home again (and again and again). It’s always magical to welcome family and friends back to the Big Apple.

How great to hear about Alisa and Nate’s travels across the country and Alisa's across many borders and get to share vicariously in the excitement of their adventures (especially when my most exotic trip this summer so far has been a subway ride to see to the new Madagascar exhibit at the Bronx Zoo).

It’s always wonderful to share good food and conversation with those we love. New, as well as well-worn, recipes just taste better when shared those we love. There’s even a temptation to get others to enjoy what we enjoy. !@#$%, I couldn’t sneak the bananas into the sorbet. Actually, I forgot that Nate doesn’t like bananas. Life needs to have an Undo button (what if there were a blender that could unpuree food?). Oh, well, at least he didn’t detect the bananas in the waffles when smothered with maple syrup. (Just kidding, Nate..or am I?)


Anyway, it's great to be able to experience the City through fresh eyes. Who knew that scorn was so readily available at such an affordable price ($1.25!!)? And, all these years I had been paying dearly for it. You can always get whatever you're looking for in New York for cheaper if you know someone who knows someone.

Hope you are able to enjoy a homecoming or a homegoing with someone you love.

Nice post! There's no way there were bananas in the waffles! Right?!

What foods did you get to enjoy/did I miss out on?!

-See you soon!
