She was trying so hard to entertain him with her singing and ukulele playing.
I couldn’t make him smile either.
But we had fun.
PS I asked the caregiver for permission to take pictures of these adorable kids.

My NYC To Do List – Item #13: take a cheese class
I love cheese. Wouldn’t it be fun to know more about it? I think so.
In my opinion, the funkier the cheese, the better. I’m not sure there’s a cheese I wouldn’t try.
Via Murray’s
Here in the New York metropolitan area, there are cheese making classes. But I think I just want to eat it!
These are a few of the options I’m considering:

Welcome back, Fatty Cue
Once I zeroed in on Williamsburg during my apartment search, I used Fatty Cue as a spot to regroup and refuel.
I loved this beef brisket sandwich.
And this cocktail, the Malay michelada.
I was bummed when the restaurant suddenly closed, and stay closed for a long time.
But Fatty Cue is back. Yay!
Here’s a preview of the reopened spot by Maryse Chevriere on Serious Eats.

The Not-For-Everyone Gift
When my friend Candace visited me a few weeks ago, we rambled all over the part of Brooklyn where I life. One of our stops was In God We Trust, a boutique on a quieter block of Bedford Avenue.
We browsed and tried on sunglasses.
Then I noticed these roughly engraved pendants. Look closely.
I won’t be buying one of these R rated charms for my mother. But for one of my smart ass friends? Perhaps. How about you?

Careful, I’m spicy!
Me too.
Mast Brothers is specialty chocolatier in my neighborhood. When I walk by the shop on my way to my favorite coffee shop, it’s hard not to stop in. They make the bars and other products right here on N 3rd Street and the smells that seep out are tantalizing.
A recent New York Magazine cover story lumped Mast Brothers in with “twee” artisanal Brooklyn and a book is forthcoming.
But for me, the chocolate speaks for itself. Bars like sea salt and Stumptown coffee are my favorite Brooklyn gifts to give.
Take note: the serrano chile bar is just as spicy as promised!

How do we feel about white shoes?
Candace came to visit
Having house guests in cities like New York can be challenging. I don’t have a guest room, and on weekends, I’m the laziest person alive.
But there are some friends I’m always happy to have visit. Candace is one of them. We had a lovely catch-up weekend and celebrated her acceptance to graduate school.
We ate bacon doughnuts – and lots of other things – at Traif.
