Another doozy C/O United. I ate the salad. And then I remembered the romaine recall and really hope I don’t get sick.

Thanks for the info and pictures! EWR is my “Home” airport so I will definitely check the new lounge out.
Your DH’s meal looks really good too.

I've never made it, but Gordon Ramsay's youtube videos are probably where I'd start looking if I were to give it a try.
Agreed— his recipe is popular and doesn’t seem overwhelmingly complex. If I had the guts to try making Beef Wellington, I’d use his recipe.

Yeah, but I was in 7th grade! (and my mom still did my laundry... hehe)
I just gave it to the dog. I’ve always been stubborn and won’t eat anything I don’t like.
On topic, what arrondissement are you in? I may be going to Paris in December and you look to be in the heart of the city! Enjoy!

Had anyone bought stone crabs online? If so can you share your experience please.
Do they come frozen or do they need to be consumed when delivered?

Finally made it down to Chinatown to get some specialty ingredients and stopped off for lunch.
This place is known for their hand pulled noodles and their dumplings. The dumplings were so good that I got a bag of them to take home.
Where did you go?

It looks nice but very minimalistic from my American point of view. Double ovens and excess of amenities were big factors for me.

I'm sorry to hear that. We thought it was really great. Was your food too salty? Ours was perfectly seasoned. Every place has an off night, I guess. I hope the rest of your meals in Bermuda were more enjoyable!
i didn’t find it too salty, more like aggressively seasoned. Certain spices just don’t sit well with me— it’s just a personal thing.
The scallops and froze at 1609 were great. We enjoyed most of our meals!

I didn’t enjoy the good much at Marcus’s. I found it aggressively spiced. The crab spaghetti wasn’t on the menu when I was there. I did like their burger.

Is the business yours?
I haven’t been to Worcester in a long time but when I was there after dark, I didn’t personally feel safe. I hope that’s changed.

I split a large movie theater popcorn with my husband while seeing “A Simple Favor”. The movie was good, the popcorn was good in a sickening way. I came home and ate a cucumber to cleanse my not so sophisticated palate.

Buttered radish toasts topped with chopped parsley, anchovy and capers. A glass of rosé.
Toasts per Alison Roman's Dining In.
Any chance you need a guest who doesn’t mind doing dishes? ☺️

This just happened a minute ago.
I was gardening outside, taking advantage that it was cloudy. All of a sudden, a big flash and an instantaneous gigantic blast. Based on the blast happened at the same time as the flash, I was probably not far from the thunder/lightning. I could have been deep fried with my tomatoes.
When you are gardening, you are in a place where lightning strike happens most likely there.
Warning! Google "lighting/thunder" and learn about the dangers and safety considerations. This year, 17 people have been killed already, not counting injuries.

It’s been nasty in the NYC tri-state area this summer. I’ve gone nuts trying to get the dog inside— ironically she’s very casual about storms which most dogs aren’t.

God. Too much. I am appalled that we moved into our home three years ago with things that expired before then. I have been on a binge throwing out OTC meds and canned goods.

I’ve never understood the flatbread craze. It just seems like a random marriage of ingredients on a subpar bread, at least in the NYC metro area.
Since I live in that area, ultimately I judge pizza as a plain pie. I can appreciate a well made margarita pie, but I generally just prefer a plain pie. If I’m in the mood for toppings, it’s mushrooms, black olives and Italian sausage crumbles.
And no, pizza is not meant to be dipped into any type of dressing or sauce. The best pizza to me is the simplest.
A fresh out of the pizza oven, with goey melting cheese and the tang of a well made tomato sauce pizza is the best. And now I am craving one!

There's a reason not to open my refrigerator. Seriously when I get the level down I'll make more sauce. But canning and freezing aren't practical.
Canning isn’t practical for my household either. Which is why I don’t grow my own produce despite having a large yard and decent growing zone.

The site said Trenton. Maybe they come over the line into Somerset Country?
Maybe. I don’t live in Somerset Co. Drizly works with Gary’s in Madison to deliver to me as does Cambridge Wines in Morristown.
When I lived in Hoboken, which was about 6 years ago, I used the delivery.com app to have everything from food to liquor to laundry available. I didn’t really use it often.

Not available here but there is always UPS.
I guess it depends where in the state you live. They deliver to me in Northern NJ.

HaHa! That would probably work if my only phone were not a Princess-style hard wired land line.
I'm just going to be more careful ordering tomatoes. There are some Nature Sweet Cherub grape tomatoes that come in a clamshell available through the software that I almost ordered, and those should be easy to get right. I know they are good, but not quite as good as the Cottle Farms ones I wanted.
Gotcha. Since I use the mobile app I can see the suggestions and choose one of them or decline all together.
That said, you have to be on top of it. I recently ordered 3, 64oz of diet Snapple and since the plastic bottles in that size wasn’t available my shopper bought 3 12 packs of glasses. The price difference was upwards of $30. I wasn’t pleased. Especially since the mobile app allows you to call your shopper or text them. That’s partially why I was pissed about not being on top of having the original item out of stock. I primarily use Instacart to get deliveries from Wegman’s which is a nightmare in traffic and always super packed. I do shop in person locally.
You also have the opportunity to tip more or less/- I tend to tip 15-20% depending on the weather and you can also send a tip after your delivery which I appreciate.
Do you have Uber in your area? I’d imagine it would be much cheaper and faster than any taxi service.
Also I’d look again at Drizly.com— it’s an alcohol delivery service. It may only be app based but I know they deliver in NC.

@Thanks for the Crepes I use Instacart. When substitutes are made that I don’t agree with, I get a notice on my phone (I use the app) and I hit “decline”. You should be able to do the same.
