Made a delicious roast chicken tonight on a bed of root veggies.

Super simple recipe with thyme and butter. The most important part was leaving chicken out two hours prior to get it to cook evenly.

So we had our official Easter dinner at our apt this year.

When Daniela came over she assumed that dinner would be ready around three but that’s when I started cooking.

I felt rushed a little but by the time they finished doing the eggs I was done.

Dinner ended up being delicious. I made: potato leek soup, arugula salad with Parmesan dressing, baby rack of lamb and some herbed baby potatoes.

Daniela brought two desserts. A cobbler and a mango strawberry pie. Both were delicious.

So the Triplets just turned 16!
It’s so crazy that they are two years away from becoming adults!

Time really does fly. I am so proud of how well behaved and mature they have become.

I decided to have them over for brunch to celebrate. B and I made them poached eggs over polenta w mushrooms, roasted asparagus, latkes and some breakfast sausages.

This was our first time entertaining so many people. Was only five but still was a lot to manage. Poaching 14 eggs was not easy!

They all enjoyed the food and we had a great time just getting together. Also they loved our new chair that we bought. Definitely worth every penny.

Relaxing Sunday

So today B and I just hung around the city and went shopping for a bit. We made an attempt to go to the New Museum for but the clerk told us that we would not be able to get through the exhibit in an hour so we decided to do the show another day.

We had dinner on the LES at Fatta Cuckoo thanks to our Gilt City coupon.

The food was actually really delicious and was a great deal.

B and I were playing around in bed taking portraits and were going to do some great shots of us black and white but taking shots that show real flaws etc…

Beautiful Saturday

Woke up to a lovely little breakfast made by my sweetness. Scrambled eggs and latkes. :-)

After breakki went for a haircut and B went to get groceries for our dinner at Daniela’s house.

I made a tartinery inspired lunch l- prosciutto and ricotta toast with some butternut squash soup.

After lunch we went on a lovely bike ride at the Hudson river park and then got ready for our party w Daniela.

So after we a watched an episode of Top Chef which was about fried chicken.

We started talking about how much we were craving fried chicken. We ended up walking to 14th st to Dirty Bird to go for some buttermilk fried chicken.

It definitely hit the spot for me.

Felt kind of guilty eating it especially since we already had dinner tonight but I think I justified it in my mind since I went to the gym today. ;-)

Dinner tonight at Freeman’s

Prepping for a huge presentation today because we have a huge presentation with a client on Tuesday.

Took one of our vendors to dinner tonight at Freeman’s. he enjoyed the food and we had a great time.

Bummed that I spent my Saturday working but it’s fine since its just part of what has to be done.

Brunch w Daniela

Friends

We had Daniela and Luna over for brunch.

We were unable to make it to Luna’s Bday since I was in China.

We wrapped her gifts and gave them to her. She seemed appreciative but I think that she didn’t like them that much. I think it was because she’s not very artistic yet and since Daniela has so many art supplies it may have felt kind of like “more of these?”

Anyways Daniela really enjoyed brunch. B made his special eggs in a nest thing and I made bacon wrapped asparagus served with ricotta toast and Raspberry jam.
