Home again, home again, jiggedy-jig.
Our Big Apple souvenir – a Dalek made out of ARC-welded motorcycle parts scrap metal by the artists at Metal Park. We picked it up at Bryant Park, where the Holiday Shop kiosks had just opened (along with an ice skating rink). Too bad we didnt have more time to explore the NY Public Library – the original toys the Pooh characters are based on were there, along with the Gutenberg Bible and Jack Kerouacs harmonica.
Subway sculpture. This was just one of the mini scenes portrayed in bronze throughout the terminal depicting everything from subway workers and patrons to fat cats, political figures and city officials.
The Empire State Building all done up for Veterans Day from Top of the Rock (30 Rockefeller Center 70th floor). Thanks, love.
I love this city. Very dark view from the hotel.
So this is what its like to see. After years of having the same pair of glasses, I finally broke down and got a new pair (three prescription increases later).
My DHs latest time suck, complete with oh so lovely patch.
Fall colors in the living room.
Wow, that new palladium engine from Acura sure does get some great mileage. A bit pricey, though 😉
This is where our CSA vegetables will be coming from this season, and we are excited. We got the chance to hang out at the garden today for a meet greet pizza party, met a lot of interesting people, and had a chance to talk to the gardener extraordinaire/CSA coordinator/pizza chef. We cant wait to embark on this next chapter of vegetable eatery, and hopefully food-minded community.
And this is the charcuterie spread I got to share with my fellow veggie goers:
From the left: double smoked bacon (the only item not home made), duck prosciutto, Italian sausage, duck confit, and brown sugar bacon. 🙂
Punkin for a soup Im making next week.
