Stocking up for the Storm

We stumbled upon Black Hound tonight in the East Village, just as the snow was starting to lay. I had trouble deciding what to buy. A little cake, perhaps? That’s what my daughter got.

A little fruit tart? I brought one home for my other daughter.

Some savory pastries?

A cookie?

A mini-apple pie?

My husband got a rum ball. And I finally settled on a checker-ball,

because I knew that when I got it home and cut it in half, it would look like this:Category: Food

  1. You know, now that I’m on a diet, I love checking in on your blog. All the tasty joy with none of the pesky calories! Thanks.

  2. When I travel, one of the best things I like to do is check out the good restaurants. I would have to say, ever since I started reading your blog, my restaurant list for New York is building. I look forward to more of your contributions.

  3. Wow! I want one of everything!

    Who am I kidding – I could eat at least three of everything!

    They all look SO pretty!

  4. While SOME of us can get through the snow to these lovely little pastry shops in Manhattan, those of us trapped on a hill in the snow in Suburibia, PA had to make do with the ingredients in the house. So I made some LOVELY homemade corn muffins that were a BIG hit with the family (did I mention that they have just the slightest bit of honey)? But alas, they looked nothing like YOUR lovely pastry purchases…
