- I love a Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and Blank Slate does an exceptional one!!
- Chicken Rice at Veranda was delicious, but the real star of this restaurant is the greenhouse dining room and the Kaws statue on the terrace
- Dutch Baby pancake at Sona, which is actually an Indian restaurant, so the dutch baby was spiced with cardamom, served with pineapple jam and coconut cream
- Spent my birthday at American Bar. For dessert, they present to you a sundae toppings menu so that you can make you own sundae. Yum!!






NYC gotta love the exorbitant prices: $17.75 for that Sundae hope it was well worth it.

Nothing is cheap here. However, as the sundae was for two, 8.75 a person for dessert is actually cheaper than normal.

So jealous you saw the Holbein exhibition. I’ve always been interested in the Todor period–this would have been such a treat to see.

Holbein! I didn’t get to see nearly enough of his work the last time I was in London. Both times I went to the National Gallery, the Renaissance wing was closed, so I only saw what was up in the National Portrait Gallery, which wasn’t very much all things considered.

It was a very cool exhibit, but I always love the stuff at the Morgan!

I haven’t thought of cardamom as being an Indian spice. Probably because my grandmother made cardamom bread and she was from Finland.

Happy Birthday again. I’d have been happy with Mint Chip, hot fudge and maybe some sprinkles.

Happy Birthday, LA! Great followup to a post on celebrations. I think a lot of the “little” things you post about that inspire you are really mini-celebrations of life. May you be blessed with many more celebrations of your birthday.

Cardamom is a very underutilized spice IMO. That and tamarind. The world would be a better place (or at least a tastier one) if more dishes were prepared with those ingredients.
