salsa verde

I threw together with the green-ist tomatoes we had, gave them to Mr Weiss who sparked up grill and charred them off. This is incredibly quick and easy to make and is great compliment to all sorts of food shenangins! Salsa Verde 10 medium sized green tomatoes (I used a mix of roma and fireworks […]

tomato breakdown

So last week Mr Weiss and I picked every tomato we had, loaded up a not-so-chic cart and hot footed it, via Amtrak, back to NYC.  I’ll be damned if I was going to let any of my precious first year grown tomatoes go to waste, but seeing as we will be in the city […]

fashion week

That’ right its fashion week here in NYC and you can’t swing a cat in Soho without hitting a ridiculously skinny, size triple zero model, totally under-dressed and freezing.  I couldn’t tell one from the other, what a shocker – no variety, good god, it’s so boring. Fashion week! Seriously people who is it for?? […]
