Quickly

Today Michael and I wandered Chinatown for a few hours. Great vegetables, fruits and fish all over the place.

We had lunch at Joe's Shanghai on Pell Street: Soup dumplings, fresh spinach with garlic, moo shu pork and clams with black bean sauce. We sat at a communal table with a guy who looked like a young Donny Osmond and three women visiting NYC for the weekend from Texas.

Tonight we went over to Barosa, but the wait for a table was too long so a few doors down they have their own take-out place. So we placed our order and took it home: Calamari Barosa (calamari in red sauce in a baked pizza dough-fantastic) and Barosa chopped salad (an all time favorite).

Hoping the warmth will stay but reality says no.

Looking forward to Spring and planting on my terrace: Tomatoes, fresh herbs, flowers (that have no scent). It's a great thing!
