Offering a diverse range of creative and exotic ‘tough-to-decide’ dishes from a compact menu, reaching a decision could be quite a challenge. After some gargantuan effort and debate, our party of ‘famished’ 4 finally settled on…

but it did lead to a nap.

Naps are good! And porridge can be comforting when you aren’t feeling well. I hope you feel better soon.

Today’s lunch was a tomato sandwich. I live on them during the summer and even though the temperature has cooled down I am still in denial. Only three weeks until the end of CSA season

Tuna roll-up from a local grocery. They make the tuna salad from fresh tuna that they steam/cook. It’s entirely different from tuna salad from canned tuna (which I never buy because I like my own tuna salad so much more). Very mild. Almost, but not quite, like chicken salad.

For a British expat like myself, who had spent over a decade studying and working in London. Learning that a British Steak-House institution - Hawksmoor has opened up a branch across the ocean in New York was a revelation. To pay them a visit for ‘Sunday Roast‘ and Sticky Toffee Pudding is a no brainer. As well, for steak lovers like my son and myself, it will also provide us with an unique opportunity to savor grass fed, dry aged beef steak being grilled over Paraguay Charcoal, a special featur…
