Stop! Turnover! {Part 2: Dried Chipotle}
Winter is the time for chili. Chili is foolproof, reheats excellently and is packed with heartiness. Plus you can utilize those corners of your pantry long neglected. You know. The package of dried chipotles taking up valuable real estate. Here is Part 2 of the great pantry turnover. 3 Bean Chipotle Chili. Food with a [...]
The Fifth of May
Pine Box Rock Shop, a vegan-owned and operated bar in Brooklyn, hosted a special Cinco de Mayo feast, courtesy of Yummy Eats [a pop-up restaurant] and Verily Baked Goods [an impressive baker that does both omni and vegan treats]. Here was the impressive pre-fixe: Having the choice of two appetizers, I selected the black bean [...]
Eastern Island Retreat
I spent the week at an island retreat. Not an exotic island by any means. I have lived on this geographic island for 97% of my life [fraction to decimal conversion: 32/33 = 0.96969697], the latter 9 in Brooklyn proper, its western tip. But with a warm and cozy home to station at, time and [...]

I’m going to turn dining back into eating
I have been ingesting far more calories than I need these days, in light of my sedentary lifestyle. Weekends of horrendous weather don’t help either. Catching up… I headed to the East Village’s cramped lil’ Kosher counter staple, B&H Vegetarian Restaurant, after the person who answered the phone earlier told me their veggie burger was [...]
Food Miscellany: Catch Up
Back at 3 Brothers again. I plan to take full advantage of this place’s proximity to me. There is so much to try too. This time, we got a little fancy-pants and ordered the eggplant rollatini appetizer, which was as huge as a stand alone meal. What I love about 3 Brothers is how generous [...]
