oh new york! i will miss you.
thank you for continuing to leave me comments despite my infrequent posting over the past few weeks. i hope to start posting regularly again in another week or two. on friday we will start our drive to denver. once we settle in i should be able to spend a little more time online.
until then, here are a couple of photos from a yummy french-mexican dinner at itzocan cafe. the restaurant was started by two chefs from puebla, mexico who after spending a number of years working in the kitchens of french restaurants decided to open a place that allowed them to create a fusion of french and mexican food. the results are delicious.
mmmm...crispy goat cheese ravioli.
sweet corn, huitlacoche mushroom, and truffle oil souffle.
semolina epazote dumplings with roasted poblano peppers, corn, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
we also enjoyed a cold corn and apple soup that was lovely (despite not really tasting like apple nor corn) and a black bean and roasted vegetable casserole (scrumptious, but a little difficult to eat once we ran out of tortillas).
hey ris! it's lis!
i miss you guys. i was in nyc last weekend, on saturday, for a whirlwind look at the city. pretty cool. would've called but didn't have your numbers...bummer.
tell jordan 'hi' and i'll miss him come august 22 (aka school).
chao!

I love the collages that are created when posters are layered, then torn down!
That food looks so delicious...is it time for dinner yet? Almost.
Have a great trip to Denver!
