Holy Shit! I knew I hadn't posted in a while, but I am sorry I didn't realize it had been this long.
I know I have many photos to post too. Just have to figure out how to get them here :)
I also opened an Instagram account, which I can link here too. (As soon as I figure that out...)
Otherwise, been babysitting Clayton for a few days while Jesse is in Florida visiting his grandpa. Cooking for Michael (Meatloaf, chicken soup with matzoh balls, farfalle with pink sauce and peas).
We've been out a bunch too: 5 Burro, Station House and Flying Pig (and that was in one night LOL) with Jill, Lenny, Steve and Sue. Also went to Katz' Deli with Michael (still so good).
New Year's Eve we went with our usual crew (Joe and Denise and Tom and Monica) to Il Triangolo in Corona. My review is on Yelp and I am not going to reprint it here as it took me 3 tries to get it right on Yelp. But needless to say, I'm not going there again.
Sato on Queens Boulevard used to be our favorite Japanese place, but after our recent experience, we're not going back there too soon either. Really lousy service.
I will try to get the photos, etc...up soon.
xo and thanks, if you are still reading this!

The Flying Pig
Saturday night we went to The Flying Pig (http://theflyingpigforesthills.com/) on Austin Street.
Our server was Izzy and she was great! We sat at a bar height table with Jill and Lenny and Sue and Steve. The beer selection is broad ranging and tastes are available before getting a whole pint. I had Purple Haze (3 of them)! Jill had All Day IPA, Steve had Heineken, Michael had Founder's Dirty Bastard (and tasted a few others), Lenny had All Day IPA and Purple Haze and Sue had a Blue Moon look a like, but I can't remember the name.
I have to say that although the food was good, the portions are very small and the check was very large. Place is noisy too and the ladies room was out of order. But I would try it again.
We had: Charcuterie with bacon, sausage and prosciutto; cheese platter with Manchego, Menora and Irish cheddar wine; baked clams; bibb lettuce salad with bacon; seared Ahi tuna; asparagus salad with goat cheese and asparagus mousse; pan roasted duck breast with bread pudding (very good bread pudding); roasted salmon; french chicken breast and a side of fries made in duck fat.
Dessert was: Salty caramel pannacotta; peach shortcake and sorbet.
