I drove to Brooklyn yesterday afternoon to pick Michael up from work. We went to Jake's BBQ on Columbia Street for dinner.
Best thing: BYOB-2 beers
Average thing: Food and service
Good thing: Corn bread
We had: a $27 dollar meal for two--pulled chicken platter with Cajun rice and cole slaw and a pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw
Review: Don't need to go back, but totally edible
Moving on...After dinner we went to Fairway in Red Hook. Probably the 2nd greatest food store in New York State (after Wegman's of course). We did our shopping and came home.
Sounds crazy, but last year when Michael asked what I wanted to do for Valentine's Day I said the same thing as this year...Let's go to Fairway. Jewelry, flowers and /or chocolates not required :)
And for a post-Valentine's Day celebration we are joining Denise and Joe at Joe and Penny's in the Bronx on Wednesday night for dinner. Looking forward to an evening with our friends!!

The Weekend
Friday night was Pizza Night. Michael brought home a pie and salad from Dani's (our VERY favorite pizza in Queens).
Saturday we went to My Moon again with Dina and Dmitry. It was just as good as last time. And they had NO TURKISH WINE, just as last time. Very odd for a Turkish influenced restaurant... In any case, their Turkish coffee is good (we did not have dessert last time) and the flan was good as well. Next time we'll have to try their baklava. Appetizers were just as good and the main courses were also (I did not order one, nor did I have soup). Maybe I was saving myself for Jill and Lenny's later.
Where we went about 10pm for drinks with a bunch of Forest Hills friends. Didn't make it to our apartment (5 floors up) 'till after 1am.
Sunday was Valentine's Day and yes we went to Fairway in Red Hook. It is the quintessential market in the city! However, before food shopping we ate breakfast (brunch) at EGG in Williamsburg. I had the Eggs Rothko (with kale and tomato on the side) VERY YUMMY! And Michael had Chorizo and Eggs (maybe he'll try something else next time), but he didn't complain :)
Jesse is on vacation (again) for 1 week. This time it's Mid Winter Recess, so I may not be cooking as much this coming week, but that always leaves room for experimentation, as I just purchased a hand cranked past machine ($39 at Bed, Bath and Beyond)...Will keep you informed on the progress of home made pasta!
Tomorrow night we are going back to FINO (http://www.finowinetapas.com/) in Bayside where we have been before with Kim and Andy and George and Joanne. This time we are going with Denise and Joe and Penny and Joe. It is a great place with an extensive wine list, wonderful tapas and good service. Full review later in the week.
Have fun in the snow that's coming, again :)
