I ate and drank here. Gnocchi with truffle butter goes down really well with a Brown Derby or three.

I cooked this. Given that I don’t own a slow cooker, I used my Dutch oven and it came out great. Next time, I’ll use a leaner cut than pork butt (although a tenderloin would be too lean).

I considered buying more flat shoes. 90% of my shoes are heels I still can’t wear.

The inaugural NYC Ironman took place Saturday not long after a “controlled sewage release” north of the City. Even without the sewage, you couldn’t pay me to swim in the Hudson River.

What was the highlight of your weekend?
