out our power two hours ago. Hopefully it comes back on soon.

I'm thinking cold cuts, cheese and crackers.

Today is the Landlady's birthday and she wanted French food. Cafe d'Anvers on Lexington Avenue and 97th Street.

Pulled pork with bbq sauce, on a potato bread slider bun. The roast pork has been hiding in the freezer for a while.

Not very hungry so nothing else now.

(I know—bad apples? My son was nice enough to bike down the road (both our cars are still awaiting hurricane repair) to get them at the nearest WM—which I boycott—and they were not only not yet ripe/half green, but not really edible at all on their own.)

So my solution was to make apple crisp and hope the sugar would help camouflage them. Couldn’t find the oats (still unpacking) so opted for a cobbler instead, using an untested recipe. End result is not great and I forgot to add walnuts, but I ate a piece and have now ruined my appetite for dinner.

Will resort to a simple salad later if I ever get peckish.

And man, Cher, but for some reason when I come here for inspiration, I always get a sudden kombucha craving…

lamb chops with anchovies and capers, baked potatoes with freshly-harvested chives, roast carrots with carrot top sauce, and a green salad with green goddess dressing

mac and cheese
green beans
sliced tomatoes


a few squares of chocolate for dessert
