rhymes with gravy

Yes I’m watching it again

We took Steph’s mom out for hibachi on Staten Island because we’re having a perfect Staten Island day

Look at all the adorable swag which came with my copy of @jasonklamm’s new Ferris Bueller book, which I can’t wait to crack into!

For the first time in like 15 years I won the Shakespeare in the Park lottery but so of course there was a thunderstorm but now it’s looking like it might actually happen???

Cedar plank roasted salmon with sumac spice rub, snow peas stir-fried with cremini and shiitake mushrooms, and rice.

I hadn’t seen Good Hank in years but she actually made an appearance today! A very brief one. Good kitty.

There’s a very narrow street in our neighborhood that all the locals have agreed we can just walk in the middle of the sidewalk during non-busy times because there’s just one sidewalk and it’s narrow. Sean and I call this “Bradshawing” - walking down the middle of the street like we’re Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City.

Made a refreshing little salad with daikon, carrots, yuzu ponzu, nori, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a little sugar. I toasted the sesame seeds first.

I keep a glow-in-the-dark ghost bride from Disney’s Haunted Mansion hanging in our bedroom window facing the street and I wonder how many of our neighbors think it’s a Virgin Mary and that we’re super Catholic or something.

Another night, another Xi’An Famous Foods meal followed by another great Broadway play. This one was about my neighboring neighborhood, and it was funny as hell.

Hambagu with daikon oroshi. Steamed broccoli and steamed rice. Bomb. So good.
