Remember my dinner at Traif in Brooklyn? I followed it up with brunch there Sunday.
No surprise: it was fantastic.
We ate sitting in the solarium. It has a lovely view of the garden.
I regret not getting a pic of the chilaquiles. They were amazing. So was the strawberry pancake.
For those of you who enjoy #scrantontweets, I give you #scrantonscenes.
Did you know that Scranton is The Electric City? If you watch The Office, yeah, you probably did.
After a little more than three months living in my Brooklyn apartment, it has arrived.
Thanks to Cyber Monday, I now have…a living room rug!
I recognize that this isn’t newsworthy to anyone but me (and perhaps my downstairs neighbor).
