My three day weekend is actually a ten day weekend!  I took a week+ off from work because I am going home for Carnival.  By the time you read this post I will (hopefully!) be on a plane to St. Thomas.

Here were the top three from the past three days…

{1}  Coffee (coffee, coffee).

[a]  I am still loving Trader Joe’s shade grown espresso blend.

[b]  I found my new spot for coffee and cookies – For Five Coffee.

They served me an perfectly roasty and creamy quad iced latte.

And they have crispy yet cakey cookies from Duchess Bakeshop, including unicorn cookies stuffed with cheesecake.

{2}  Fun in packaged foods.

The chile rellano from Trader Joe’s is my all-time favorite frozen meal and the mojito kombucha was even better than expected.

{3}  Our best meal of this year.

Glasserie in Greenpoint pretty much blew our minds.  Their deal is Middle Eastern flavors mixed with contemporary techniques in a stunningly gorgeous former glass factory.  We swooned over every bite!

Sour from Grimm.

Griddle bread that was chewy and perfect and sort of reminded me of funnel cake.

Roasted cauliflower with cured labneh and marjoram.

An assortment of mushrooms with celeriac puree, hazelnuts, and a soft boiled egg.

Chicken with roasted sunchokes, fried potato, and sesame.  I almost never order chicken in restaurants but this was one of the best proteins I’ve ever tasted.

Rose milk custard with candied pistachios for dessert.  This was just a bit tangy and just a bit floral and totally delicious.

10/10.
