When looking for a place to eat I sometimes just have a direction.. Tonight I wanted to see what we could find on 53rd Street. I was here a few months ago and between 2nd and 3rd Avenue this street is packed with restaurants, and an Insomnia cookie. After reviewing a few menus we selected Angelo Bellini. It was very good. I had a fabulous Cosmopolitan from the bar which left me a bit stupid, and a delicious Veal Marsala… I couldn’t finish it. The bread was good, a bit of olive oil and cheese.. voila, Im a happy camper.

Cooking with my Sous Vide
A few weeks ago I bought a dozen chicken thighs, sucked the air out of you few bags, seasoned some thighs one way, some another. Then dropped then in a big pot of water, set the Sous Vide to cook to 160 degrees, and went about my day. Wen we took them out, we freed up the skin, made a gravy and yum…
Then a few of the remaining bags went into the freezer. Tonight, before I left for the movies, I pulled out a bag, dropped in the water, set the Sous Vide to 157 degrees, and came home to some truly good chick, ready to have the skin fried to a crisp in a hot pan in butter. I think Im finally finding a great use for the sous vide.
Im loving reading The Gentleman In Moscow. I usually wait to share until I have finished a book. But hey, Its my blog and I wanted to share.
Another Documentary
Tonight it was Letters From Baghdad. To be honest I nodded off. But it was interesting. The story of Gertrude Bell, a young British women who found herself in the Mideast and fell in love with the place in the early 1900’s. The scenes was beautiful, the story well told. I almost felt as if I had been there.
What to Watch on TV
Documentary
Monterey Pop, it grew on me. I keep flashing back to the scenes of happy engaged faces rocking to the music. No cell phones, no cameras out. How old I must be becoming if I am complaining about ‘changing times’ and feeling romantic and nostalgic for the good old days….
I just found this interesting
and have decided this blog is for me. If you join me I am happy to have you. It has turned out to be a great place to keep all things. The obvious, books, recipes, travel info. But now I find that its a great way to tuck away interesting articles and youtube videos. So when someone asks about something or I am trying to share, its right here at my fingertips.
I guess I am getting political
