Star sighting

Last night instead of playing tennis, I had a business dinner/night out with the new owner. We went to Blue Ribbon for sushi, which turns out to be the best I've had since I moved to NYC 6 years ago! Then we retired to a cigar room (no, I didn't smoke, though I drank some nice 10 years old port) and about an hour into talking shop, a group of people walked into the cigar room. Guess who were in that group? None other than Spike Lee and Rick Fox!

If only my phone has a camera then I could have snap a photo to show you. See, that's why I need an iPhone!

Vox Hunt: This Gets Me Cooking

Book: Show us one of your favorite cookbooks.

I don't cook really (if ever), Eiron does most of the cooking. Though I am sure she would love to have me cooking instead. Anyway, we have many great meals from Nigella's many cookbooks.

From crepe to sandwich to Duran Duran

Before tennis this afternoon, Leah and I got off the subway at W14th and planned to go to Rue des Crepes for some food. But when we got there, it turned out that it had been closed! No more crepes! Frakking disaster! We were so looking forward to crepes!

In its place is a bespoke pressed sandwich place called Switch Pressed Sandwiches. We were dubious at first but since we needed some food in our bellies before the exercise we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Trojan Horse (ground lamb with beefsteak tomato, tzatziki, and fresh mint on rosemary focaccia) and it was delicious! We were very surprised since we had a very low expectation.

Rio

Another unexpected result was that they were playing Duran Duran's Rio while we were waiting for the sandwich, and that reminded me to search for the track on iTunes when I got home. Needless to say, I am writing this post while listening to Duran Duran! Ah, the 80's!
