in NYC

Left home at 3:30 am this morning for a weekend trip to NYC with Big A. 

I tend to give away a lot of our extra cash to GoFundMes and buying groceries for internet strangers, and Big A who makes way more than I do lets me do what I want, so when he wants to live large once in a while, I play along. 

Here we are at Le Benardin, eating plates of perfectly arranged art, having possibly the best meal of our lives... (and definitely the most expensive). 

There was a bisque with tarragon foam that I will dream about forever. And it's time for me to wonder again why I don't use things like parsnips and tarragon more frequently in my cooking. (I only seem to use parsnips at Thanksgiving and tarragon on summer rolls.)

So fun!! You look gorgeous and I am glad you two got away for a bit. I love NYC in December. I know people get all judgy about things that are touristy but I love love love the Rockefeller tree and the window displays. Phil is not a NYC person so I am glad I get to go several times/year for work. And I look forward to taking my boys when they are heartier walkers!!
