City Livin'

We have been having some crazy weather here in NYC, reminiscent of Chicago which almost makes me miss the erratic temperatures....almost. Somehow today we had picture perfect weather while yesterday it was blizzard like & most people had to work from home! Here's a picture of the city taken from my window the day after the big snowstorm...looks like something out of a magazine (or an annual report for us finance nerds).

Hot Sauce & Mushrooms?

As most of you may know I am a wimp when it comes to anything spicy and generally avoid food on menus with little peppers or spicy alarms next to them. Therefore I'm not sure what's gotten into me recently because every chance I get I've been putting hot sauce on everything. In addition to this, one of my quirky eating habits is that I have a tendency to mix and match tastes and foods that are probably unconventional and some might even find kind of gross. With that said it is no surprise that the other night while waiting for dinner to finish cooking I grabbed a fresh mushroom, pulled out the stem and poured a fair amount of Frank's Red Hot Original sauce in the now vacant "stem hole"....Bon Apétite!?
