i adore cooking. whether it’s the first bbq of the summer at a dear friend’s backyard

(yes, these were as good as they looked)

whether it’s making fresh pico de gallo from a friend’s enormous garden bounty (yes, i’m aware it’s early for tomato season; this photo is from last august),

or whether it’s simply dinner for one (i cooked myself spicy salmon with navy beans & whole wheat penne).

but i equally love eating out (this was a particularly epic chocolate cake – it’s the best thing wegman’s sells. trust.)

especially when it’s chicken teriyaki at a cheap hawaiian diner in lanai,
or a divine cheese plate and bottle of mellow bordeaux at my favorite french bistro on the lower east side. i still have dreams about their brie and frisee salad.
:stomach grumble:
it is lunch time yet?
