Adam and I had a pretty great weekend… in spite of me misplacing my – expensive! – favorite sports bra and spending half of Saturday in mourning. Seriously – I don’t change at the gym, I didn’t pack it on a trip, and we are very careful to check the machines for runaways when we do our laundry – where the frick is it?!! But when we weren’t checking and rechecking literally every drawer in the house, we did manage to have some fun.
highlights…
Homemade S’mores Milk
It’s official, I’m a genius. I put it in coffee, obviously.
S’mores Milk, makes 2 cups
Inspired by Tosi’s Cereal Milk. This recipe requires you to strain the solids out of the milk, you can use a fine mesh sieve but I used my French Press and that worked really well too. Smooshy marshmallows will not work for this, you need crispy ones; if you can’t find the Mallow Bits I recommend picking the marshmallows out of Lucky Charms!
- 2 cups skim milk or milk of choice
- 1/3 cup Jet Puff Mallow Bits
- 4 squares graham crackers, crumbled
- 2 Tbsp hot chocolate milk
- Place all of the ingredients together in a container and stir to combine. Cover and store in the fridge for 8 – 16 hours.
- Strain, discarding solids. Milk can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Cheesy Spicy Eggs
Coming up somewhere just behind coffee, diet coke, dulce de leche, and popcorn, corn cooked in scrambled eggs is one of my favorite meals.
This plate was TJ’s frozen fire-roasted corn, chopped spinach, and sliced shishito peppers (<– so much spicier than I was expecting!) cooked in coconut oil with eggs scrambled in and chunks of Kerrygold Skellig sweet cheddar tossed in at the end.
C’est Cheese in Port Jeff
C’est Cheese is always worth the drive up Port Jefferson for dinner.
We shared a beer sampler. The Framboise was my favorite.
A cheese plate. Adam loved the Tallegio and I was all about the 7-year Gouda.
And a grilled cheese with blue cheese and a raspberry-cranberry relish on marble rye. The cheese and jam combo made for the best bites of the night.
Snacky in Williamsburg
This weekend one of my lifelong best friends celebrated her 30th(!!!) birthday.
After the party, the husband and I had dinner at Snackys, one of my favorite Williamsburg spots. We shared a seaweed salad and a Chinese big bun stuffed with pickled vegetables.
And did rice bowls for dinner. I know the photos aren’t much, but my Spicy Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl was great, yummy sauce and big bites of kimchi.
Our 1st Smorgasburg of 2015
NYC people – if you haven’t done Smorgasburg yet you need to get your life together. They added a few new vendors this season and it is happy, foodie, perfection. We couldn’t find the Snowday truck but you can bet I’ll keep an eye out from now on.
We got lattes at Brooklyn Roasting Company.
Buns from Bite Sized Kitchen. I got red curry chicken with peanuts, cilantro, and fried garlic and shloots (topped with loads of sweet chili sauce).
And beer-battered cheese curds with truffle cheese sauce from Curd’s the Word.
Remember this post? The stupid sports bra is the fourth item I’ve ever lost… which would be a really good track record if 2, 3, and 4 hadn’t all been within the last year!
Check recently washed pillow cases! That’s where I’ve found a couple of my lost smaller laundry items.
Omg, we checked every item of clothing we own but I’m not sure if I checked the flat sheet (that’s away in the closet)! Fingers crossed!
You always have the most delicious looking food! I am so jealous! I think I need to come to New York and experience it all for myself!
Yes, you totally should!
