We ordered the #10, "Bridgette Nelson vs. a fanny pack full of pit vipers vs. whatever it was that killed grandpa." I'm not lying. That was the name of the pie! See for yourself! <br />

It arrived about twenty minutes after we settled in. As you can see in the picture they decorate the inside of the box and gift you with a cd. (Not sure what happened to that.) The pie had fresh mint, bits of braised lamb, artichoke and goat cheese. The flavors were amazing! My only criticism was that the crust was lacking char and some crunch, but that is to be expected I guess when you order delivery pizza. This is the second time Erich and I have ordered from Lonesome after a long plane ride, which I guess makes it a new wonderful tradition. <br />

A few printed sweaters that I worked on for Anthropologie's spring/summer collection. Go get one now! Spring is certainly a bit chilly this year, and one of these will brighten your day while providing you with an extra layer to keep warm! My personal favorite is the mint print pullover. The colors are nice and vibrant, and pair it with some white cropped jeans, a jean jacket and a pair of wedges or flats and you are good to go!<br />
<br />
Happy Monday!<br />

I came home one night from work and Erich announced as I entered the living room that he had made reservations for Valentine's day dinner. When I asked where, he said it was a surprise. He kindly escorted me from the subway to our secret spot, <a href="http://bistropetit.com/">Bistro Petit</a> in Williamsburg. The space was indeed petit! As you can see in the picture below there is a small counter space and a table in the window across from the counter, and then a table for two in the right window where we dined for the evening. The atmosphere was intimate and very french. J'adore.</div>

Since it was Valentine's day they offered a pre-fix menu in which you had to share each course, which was a bit of a bummer for this girl because I do not like to share food especially dessert! We had mushroom toasts and a quinoa salad with fruit and cucumber to start. For our main course we had filet mignon with foie gras, bok choy, and truffle mashed potatoes. Yum! Lastly, we had a molten chocolate cake with a cherry sorbet and sauce? Not sure exactly, but it was all delish! I definitely want to go back and order from their regular menu.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> Over Christmas break, I made not one, but TWO crepe cakes! One for my family and one for a NYE party. I found the recipe for the "Banana Bread Crepe Cake with Butterscotch" over at </span><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/04/banana-bread-crepe-cake-with-butterscotch/" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Smitten Kitchen</a><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">. It makes the perfect indulgent breakfast meal or dessert. I cannot wait to try her other crepe cake recipe from her cookbook. Deb most certainly keeps me busy!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> I am so glad I finally made it to the Ann Hamilton exhibit at the Armory Museum in New York before it closed. I hope you all did too! I love all forms of art, but interactive exhibits are by far my favorite. It is always interesting to see people of all ages approach the same thing very differently. For instance, the swing I was waiting for was snatched up by a few kids while I was asking a group of adults nearby if they were waiting to use the swing. I guess my playground game is rusty...haha.</span></div>

It's a new year and what that means is it is the time to start fresh. It's a time to forget about the hardships you've overcome in the past year and look back at the goals you set out to accomplish and completed. A year ago, I wanted nothing more than to live in the same city as my boyfriend, grow in my current position and move elsewhere. (I do miss you Philadelphia, more than I expected!) What happened? I was promoted at work, and made great strides transforming my position's role. I quit my job even though I was promoted and moved to New York city. I wanted to experience how other companies work and how my position as a print designer would come into play at a new place. Quitting was super scary. I am a very practical person, so this was no easy task. Now I am freelancing in the New York area, currently at Madewell, and I am trying as best as I can to go with the flow. I feel like I have learned so much already and I am excited for what the next year has in store.<br />
<br />
I am not sure how I began writing about all this. I was just going to share a smorgasbord omelet recipe I threw together yesterday. Something about peering into the fridge and seeing leftovers left me sad, so I set out to make something delicious with them because all I really want to do is cook up new delicious recipes with my smitten kitchen cookbook!!!! I love you Deb!<br />
<br />
Anyway, there really is no recipe, but this is what I did. I had some left over napa cabbage, about a 1/2 a head. I did not peel and cut the cabbage, I just sliced through the cabbage, chopped salad style. You know what I mean? Then I sauteed it in a pan with evoo, salt and pepper and garlic for a few minutes. I threw that in a cast iron skillet with black bean salsa (black beans, garlic, yellow pepper, red onion, lime juice, chipotle peppers), 4 eggs, and some butternut squash sauce we had left over. (I mixed the squash sauce with the eggs, then placed the egg mixture over the cabbage and salsa). I baked it in the oven for 10 minutes at 325. Then I added a handful of white cheddar and placed it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes. Some of you may be sneering at the contents of this frittata, but it came together pretty darn good. Erich and I finished it all in one setting.....<br />
<br />
To a wonderful new year, with more recipes to come! Happy eating!<br />
<br />

Although I have loved celebrating the holiday season with Erich, I have been missing home a bit. Luckily, a few friends came up for a soiree we threw last weekend so that tided me over this week. Below is a picture from the party. I thought Erich had snapped a photo of the delicious spread we made for the party, but he only captured the hummus?!<br />

This weekend, Erich and I bought a tree and some tree fixings. It's our first tree and Christmas season together. Needless to say it has been one of the best, though I am missing my friends and family. I am an only child so there is no one to assist my parents with the tree, so my Catholic guilt is kicking in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Erich suggested that we start a little tradition in which we each add an ornament to the tree every Christmas season. For our first Christmas, we went to Anthropologie and picked up the fluffy white owl, and the polar bear who is carrying a fish. The other ornaments are from Target and make great fillers until we have a real collection of special ornaments. </div>

I have a signature salad, and if I owned a little cafe or restaurant, this would be on the menu. The ingredients change slightly each season. For the fall/winter recipe, see below. It's the perfect, I ate too many carbs and need a break, but still want the warm comfort of a hearty winter meal. Ya know what I mean?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
arugula (kale makes a great substitution)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8-12 brussel sprouts (quartered)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3-4 carrots (halved lengthwise and cut into thirds)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 an avocado</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 Tbsp. pepita seeds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
salt </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cumin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
feta</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
dressing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 c. olive oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tsp. honey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
juice of half a lemon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
salt and pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First coat the brussel sprouts and carrots with olive oil, and roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until you see some caramelization happening. Season to taste when they are finished. While the vegetables roast toast the pepita seeds in a pan until golden brown. Once everything is finished toss together and voila! </div>

It seems like Thanksgiving was yesterday...I am always a bit bummed after Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday, and I hate the thought of having to wait another whole year to celebrate! I did not take very many pictures of my thanksgiving. Now that I live in New York, when I return home I make rounds to visit family and friends, which is wonderful yet a bit exhausting. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanksgiving morning I headed over to make pie crust in Erich's mom's kitchen aid. Oh how I cannot wait to own one of those one day! Before we got down to pie crust making, we ate pumpkin cinnamon rolls via Miss Deb's recipe. Found at the one and only, <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/10/pumpkin-cinnamon-rolls/">Smitten Kitchen</a>. (Have you bought the book yet? It's amazing and makes the perfect holiday gift!)<div>

Then I attempted to make my first apple pie. Usually my Uncle makes his infamous apple pie, but he was not feeling up to it this year, so I offered to fill the void. I found a recipe for a salted caramel apple pie on A Cozy Kitchen blog, and I knew I had to make it. (Recipe found <a href="http://acozykitchen.com/salted-caramel-apple-pie/">here</a>.)<br />

It turned out okay...but not great. My family showered me with compliments, but I knew what they were thinking. (I wish we eating Uncle John's pie...) The apples did not cook through, the crust did not glisten, and the caramel did not caramelize. Oh well. It was my first pie. I can't be too hard on myself. Right?</div>

Full of thanks and food, I headed over to my second families household and to my surprise when I opened the door, Lea's friend was giving tarot card readings. I had my cards read, and then I cuddled up with Izzy Fartalini. Her last name describes what you may have guessed. She toots. A lot.</div>

These two jacquard patterns were inspired by Ray Eames. She used to place hand cut paper hearts in the hands of people she met. What a cute gesture. <br />

To create the surface texture we mixed boiled wool with boucle, which makes the pattern appear out of focus. This is a truely one of a kind piece!<br />

Erich recently turned 27. His request was simple, yet complicated. He wanted to plan a quiet night out with friends at his favorite bar in Brooklyn, 4th ave. pub, and he wanted me to make <a href="http://mynewroots.blogspot.com/2012/09/chocolate-banana-birthday-cake-with.html">this</a> cake to bring! I could not complain really. It was not like he was asking for roast lamb or an extravagant meal, but I was a bit intimidated by the four layer cake. Luckily, it turned out not to be too hard to make, and there were no leftovers! Unlike, Sarah, I did not have a spring form pan, so I divided the cake batter between two layer cake pans and cooked them for half the time.<br />

On Friday, we had a burger off as a special birthday dinner. Recently, Erich has been obsessed with Asian ingredients...miso, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and bonito flakes. He puts one or all into and onto everything! It's pretty fantastic! For his burger he made an "unami" pesto (roasted mushrooms, miso, garlic, bonito flakes, etc.). He also made parmesan crackers, and roasted tomatoes to top his burger. <br />

Brussel Sprout Burger by me</div>

For my burger, I sautéed brussel sprouts, garlic, and red onion with a little bit of olive oil and fish sauce. I topped my burger with whole grain mustard, gouda, avocado and the brussel sprout mixture. Both burgers were delicious! Originally we had planned to make a third burger to share with the winning burger, but they were both so good! So we combined the ingrediants to make the final burger, and it ended up being the most delicious! Go figure.<br />

It's one of the pieces that I personally love, and I think is a fall/winter must have. You can wear it with jeans, a skirt or over a dress, and the color combo will make for easy outfitting.<br />

Almost the whole wedding crew made it, except for one of the bridesmaids who lives far far away. I made the suggestion of having a little octoberfest potluck for dinner since I knew the boys would be bringing lots of special brews, and since we all love fall food festivities. We had quite the spread! One of the bridesmaids brought some special treats from lancaster...garlic herb french frommage, stilton, crackers and shoo fly pie. Erich made home-made pretzels with the stinkiest cheese sauce. I made an apple cake that was hardly touched despite it's delicious flavor. (Don't worry, we've been savoring it everyday this week!) Maura and Jim made a delicious kielbasa, cabbage and apple main course. There was sooo much food, too much food one might say... Which left us with a bit of a stomach ache. So after celebrating with rich food and endless amounts of beer/wine/alcohol/mulled cider, we felt it was only necessary to go on a little detox after we returned. Hence "Me sooo need Miso." It's easy to whip up especially when you have copious amounts of miso on hand, and it leaves you feeling nourished and satisfied.<br />

Miso in love with you.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Recipe<br />
serves 2-3<br />
<br />
4 cups of water<br />
2-4 Tbsp. miso (any kind works, we used orange)<br />
1 Tbsp sesame oil<br />
1 bunch of spinach<br />
2 green onions<br />
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes divided between bowls<br />
3 oz. udon noodles<br />
pickled carrots<br />
<br />
Cook noodles, rinse with cold water to prevent them from over cooking and separate into bowls. Boil 4 cups of water and add miso one table spoon at a time, until you reach your desired taste. Whisk to dissolve miso. Clean, and cut stems off of spinach. Add sesame oil to pan and cook spinach for a few minutes until the excess waters is gone. Add spinach to miso soup. Ladle soup into bowls, and add green onion, a pinch of red pepper flakes and pickled carrots. Enjoy!<br />

It's hard to believe that I have been here a whole month! Time has been flying! The never ending project has been whipping our apartment into shape, and let me just say that last week was quite the workout! Morning, noon and night, I sanded, primed, put on multiple coats of tongue oil or paint to different pieces of furniture I decided to rework.</div>

My uncle stripped the top of the table, and then Erich and I sanded down the chairs. Not an easy task at all, but well worth it! We were originally going to do a dip dye thing with the white, but ended up color blocking instead. The wall shelves are old milk crates and apple crates that we found at a thrift store in Brooklyn. We needed extra cabinet space, and as soon as I saw the crates I knew they would be the perfect way to show off the beautiful dish ware set my parents gave to us.</div>

We still have a few things to figure out, like lighting (Erich hates overhead lighting, but only has ugly lamps?!), as well as a few other things. All in all, we made some serious headway and can sit back and relax a little more this week.<br />

Yesterday, we woke up and biked into Manhattan to go to the doughnut plant, and then find Erich some clothes. There was a wonderful chill in the air as we rode through Brooklyn over the Williamsburg bridge into Manhattan. It felt like true fall for the first time this year! It was great! </div>

Erich has been gushing about the doughnut plant for some time, but we never could get our act together to go until yesterday. He ordered the tres leche cake doughnut. I had one of the filled yeast doughnuts (peanut butter banana of course!). We ordered the pistachio yeast doughnut to split. It had a wonderful citrus taste, which was a bit of a surprise. After we finished the third, Erich looked over at me and said he wanted another. I knew that was coming. The final fourth doughnut we had was a coconut cream. Mmmmmm! They were all so good that I decided I am going to come back and buy a dozen for my dad for his birthday in a few weeks. He is going to love them!</div>

Our shopping trip ended up a bit soggy, but we trudged along and found Erich some clothes at J.Crew. Then we headed over to Astor place and grabbed some lambrusco. Erich got some special beers from whole foods, and then we headed home to make a special dinner. We made sweet potato gnocchi from scratch and finished it off in a butter sage sauce with sausage. I think this was the best gnocchi I have ever made. I can't wait to have the leftovers!</div>
