fantastic food weekend!

Here are some scenes from our weekend.  So interesting how since I decided to blog about food and eating,  without prompting Eleanor has become quite a food adventurer.  Makes me think I'm on to something! 

SATURDAY morning...

Carambola for the first time...truth be told, had never eaten it either!

A little breakfast for the alligator.  The doggie was a good sport.

This is a fun game to play in the bottom bunk.  Hang all your Barbies and stuffed animals then lift the top mattress and watch them fall! 


SATURDAY afternoon...

We went to the Tribeca Film Festival Family Festival.  Such a great day.  It was bright and sunny and there were great food vendors and fun things to do and see.  It all started with a cupcake...

Then pizza.  Not one slice but THREE full sized slices!  I think Eleanor is going through a major growth spurt because she has never before eaten ONE whole slice!  I have to say it was great pizza!  Thanks Portobello's Pizza!

 Then a little hair painting from some sweet school girls.

 Watermelon Lemonade from Bubby's

A Lobster Roll for me from Red Hook Lobster Pound

 I am not a Lobster connoisseur but it was soooo good-great buttery, warm, grilled bread and cool, fresh lobster.  Go to their site  here to read more about Ralph and Susan, the founders and their lovely lobsters.

 Red velvet cupcake from Billy's Bakery. 
So glad I ran all week.

Sharing with Daddy.

Begrudgingly.

 Snickerdoodle cookies from Billy's Bakery. 

 Amazing face art by Peanut Butter

and some kite flying to finish it off.


SATURDAY late afternoon...

A trip to Whole Foods with daddy resulted in a new food adventure...Horned Melon.  It's expensive at $6 a melon but she ate the whole thing.  Again, something I've never had before either!


SUNDAY morning...

 Eleanor made this strawberry design that mimics the chevron pattern on her DASH+fin placemat.
Making mealtime fun!

An impromptu run in with a more typical NY street festival...you know the kind...zeppoli, funnel cake, sausage & peppers, gyro's and vendors selling socks and underwear, began with picture with Sponge Bob.  This was so stupid because we had to pay this joker $2 to take a picture with him.  She was happy so it was worth it but man it was hard to spend money on that!

Elanor eating an Arpea from a street vendor-this is the third big food adventure from this weekend.  It was so yummy, like pancakes with mozzerella cheese in the middle.  Ok maybe that sounds gross but try it! Here's a recipe from epicurious

On to the next adventure!

we're back!

YOUR kiddos

Enjoy your weekend!

pre-thanksgiving food.

so what if the plan tonight is to have burgers?  at least i didn't go over board with lunch, right?  toasted cheese on farm and sparrow bread with hillsborough cheese company cheese and a salad of local greens, red pepper and dill.  the dill is a nice refreshing touch, i would highly recommend it.  and then tomorrow i stuff myself, as per usual.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
