Ecuadorian lunch, Corona Plaza. Highlight was the smoked tripe (foreground). If you’re in NYC please consider giving some love (and $) to the city’s hardworking, resourceful street vendors. I love Queens but they’re in every borough. As much as any restaurant they make this America’s best food city.

There are acceptable days, good days, memorable days, great days, transcendent days. and then there are days when you take your son to see your favorite band, which is (for now) also his favorite band.

Nobody likes anything as much as I like cooking for a holiday.

If you have a screens-and-office type of job, I cannot recommend highly enough spending one day each weekend outside, ideally somewhere beyond phone reception, doing manual labour. Bonus shot of a stone wall built (probably) in the mid-to-late 17th C, without power tools, standing strong.
