meringue

in honor of Bastille Day, flashback to that magical Mokum meringue moment....

Mokum recently joined the upper west side neighborhood with internationally inspired food in a warm, welcoming setting that is inviting to all the senses.

i actually tried this monumental meringue on Memorial Day Weekend.

i carried it home in a to go bag and plunked it on a little "Paris" themed plate given to me by my Mama.

magnifique!

still life with hearts and tulips....

in honor of an industry colleague, mentor and neighbor lost too soon, a few quotes by William Morris, whose wallpaper designs he loved and employed in his interior projects and in his own city apartment and cherished Upstate home:

"The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life."

"There is no excuse for doing anything which is not strikingly beautiful." 

"I am going your way, so let us go hand in hand. You help me and I'll help you.  We shall not be here very long... so let us help one another while we may."

Don, thank you for sharing your many gifts and for inspiring us in so many areas of our lives!

Animal Crackers

when i went home to New Jersey on Sunday, i was surprised by the plate of cookies my mother the gourmet presented following lunch.  

the chocolate Thin Mints were not the surprise, my father has always loved them and we used to stock up on them when Girl Scout fundraising season rolled around each year. 

Animal Crackers? i asked.

yes, my mother replied, popping one into her mouth. 

really?  i asked. 

we like them. from a bag, not a box. she clarified matter of factly.

times really do change...
