June 28, 2011: sometimes we drink at the farm

sometimes life is great and i ride my bike to pick up my farm share and there are little kids running through the leaves and neighbors enjoying wine and talking. and life couldn't be nicer.

one heck of a rain storm

i just spent the past 15 minutes uploading this video of the rain. so i hope you like it.

this was a crazy downpour that happened 2 or 3 tuesdays ago. maybe june 14.

out in bushwick: rooftop BBQ

i took this through the wrought iron railing.

How magnificent is this sunset, though? The sky really looked like this. And the clouds looked just like a sandbar. (Most obvious in the last picture)

All shot with just my iPhone

Traif, Mother's Day 2011

yum yum yum yum yum, Traif is my favorite restaurant right now, so naturally that's where I took my mom, along with my boyfriend and his parents, for Mother's day brunch. We started with fresh pineapple with a pomegranate glaze and lime zest (so creative and still so natural). Anyway here are the pictures – they speak for themselves... and pics of the moms, too!

Lots of love to my mom, Alice, for always being there for me and being supportive no matter what. <3

My CSA!! Tenth Acre Farms, Brooklyn

Today was the first day for pick-up at my CSA, Tenth Acre Farms! The whole thing is new to me, so Jon and I just walked over there (it's only 5 blocks away!) and looked for anyone to ask how we do this. We found one of the farmers and he just started clipping mixed greens and herbs for us! I'm sorry, I'm so new to this that the whole thing is blowing my mind and I'm in love with it.

Food that's grown 5 blocks from my apt in Greenpoint Brooklyn that's all natural and organic, and that I get to pick up every week from now until well into Fall... Ahhh the excitement!

Here's what we picked up:

various lettuce greens

thyme, sage, chives with edible flower buds, and oregano

 

saying goodbye to my friend's sweet apt.

my friend james said it best when he said:

"LCD Soundsystem, Osama Bin Laden, and 145 Bedford.
Truly the end of an era."

If you haven't been to my friend rob's, it's going to be hard to explain to you now why that apartment was awesome... but basically it was unusually gigantic, filled with cool art and trinkets, and had a huge outdoor deck. my friend would have many many parties there in the warmer months, where there would sometimes be a live band, sometimes BBQ, and just good times with some of my best friends. so, cheers to rob and 145 bedford. Just because he doesn't live there anymore doesn't mean it will cease to exist... but... it sort of does.
-R-I-P- cool apartment in williamsburg with a deck. you were ahead of your time.
oh yeah and during the day, when i was ALSO there, rob sold all his things on bedford avenue.

best picture of evan's brother ever?

ladies, these gentlemen will optimize the daylights out of your social media,
stitch up your face, and something else talented, in that order, left to right.

4.20.11 The Raveonettes, Brooklyn

This show was freakin awesome. I really love <3 The Raveonettes. I often listen to them during my morning commute, and usually I find their music comforting or soothing (reverb?), but they really rock your pants off in person.

Getting ready for the weekend with some spring flowers. (This was from last Friday)
