|Ending the week with a Watermelon Margarita at Rosie’s. National Watermelon day was this week and after surprising my coworkers with Yellow Watermelon I decided to end the week with sometime more traditional.

The food at Rosie’s was good, the atmosphere was cute, the patio was great, and the margarita was amazing. Overall the perfect Sunday Brunch day with Rolando!

Melo Yellow Watermelon Spa Water

Another silly national “holiday”, so Happy National Watermelon Day!I choose to make some infused spa water with yellow type of fruint. It was not my intention but the color of the watermelon confused everyone in thinking that there was pineapple involved. It was interested to see everyone taste the water and be surprised. I thought it would be enough that i sliced some pieces up and put them in half of the rind, but most did not make the connection. LOL

Brown Butter Cod from Blue Apron

| Another Blue Apron meal and I am starting to see some repetition.I am almost positive there is some research behind what ingredients are available, costing factors into bulk purchasing from vendors, and generally what customers prefer but a vast majority of the fish dishes include Cod. I do not want that to come off as a criticism but more of an observation. That being said, this was a very tasty dish and I now have have knowledge to make a brown butter sauce.

Supper Squad at Vic’s

Tonight the Supper Squad has gathered at Vik’s Noho.

| So here is the rundown – we tried several of the apps (4), 2 pastas and a pizza. The carrots were to die for, a vegetarian dream, but my favorite was the Borsa “Little Purse” pasta stuffed with ricotta, hazelnut, and lemon sauce. They also had a very nice wine selection. I would recommend sitting at the back of the restaurant near the kitchen as there is a glass skylight area that is nice and bright.

Summer Cold Soba & Tempura

| Call it a weakness, call it a habit, call it delicious ~ There are few things that beat the summer heat but one of my favorites is cold soba.Sobaya in East Village has to be my favorite for any temperature of Soba. Soba-ya (meaning soba restaurant) uses natural ingredients and “buckwheat flour from Azumino, Nagano which is best known for sobako in Japan and also, buying first grade sobako milled by Kurashina Mill”. They have an amazing lunch special that includes Soba or Udon of your choosing, plus a side salad/soup, and tempura! Everytime I eat here I am never disappointed.

My First Blue Apron with Crispy Cod and Summer Squash

| #916 #food #dinner @blueapron

|I have been meaning to try Blue Apron, or something similar, and finally made the commitment. After reviewing many services, Blue Apron appeared to have the best track record and most choices.The first meal I made was a Crispy Cod ribboned Summer Squash dish. I had never cooked, let alone pan fried fish before, but i’m please that the result not only looked pleasing but was tasty! Initial assessment of Blue Apron is pretty good. However, I wish there was a better way or an alternate way to dispose of the ice packs.

Memorial Day Party – BBQ 1

| #chelsea #bbq #memorialday

| The first BBQ of the season on Ken’s patio. We had soooooo much food and soooooo much booze. It was a good first attempt with potential to get better. We even had the memorial day spirit with some American themed sliders.
