I took this picture on my way to the subway this morning. I've been really fascinated lately by couples that kind of look like twins. These guys were amazingly matchy matchy - and even perfectly in step!Not much to report here after an extremely busy work week. (To see what's been keeping me so busy, check out the Creating a New Craft Culture conference!) It's been pretty much a standard routine kind of week. Wake up, feed and walk the dog, feed and dress myself, oh and have I mentioned the kitties? They are decidedly playing second fiddle to Winnie these days, poor guys, but I usually remember to feed them. Head to work - typically a 20 minute commute including walking time, just enough time to read a quick chapter on the train. Work all day, eat at my desk (I don't know why I really never take a proper lunch break), head home an hour after I intended to, feed and walk a desperate Winnie dog, make or pick up dinner, try to read or watch a movie but end up working on side projects. Fall asleep. Not so thrilling!
I do have some good lunch highlights from this week - delicious panini from Ceci Cela Patisserie on Tuesday, banh mi sandwich today, delicious Mediterranean-style lentil soup leftovers in between. And I just made a lovely salad nicoise for dinner which featured farmer's market vegetables and green beans from Jeremy's garden.What else? I mixed glazes in the studio on Tuesday night then met Heidi and Catherine for drinks after at Cherry Tree on 4th Avenue. We had our first drink in the backyard in what looked like an old kiln or pizza oven outfitted with cushions and a table. It was fun at first then started weirding us out. We were joined later by Jeremy then moved on to Zuzu Ramen so he could get a late dinner. Please join me for a moment of silence in appreciation of the Zuzu Ramen pork buns. Oh man are they good.
I've met lots of good dogs and two new shop kitties on my walks with Winnie. I wish that she was the kind of dog that got more satisfaction out of socializing with other animals - she really couldn't care less. Lately, since I've been so busy, Winnie seems increasingly morose. There's lots of sighing going on around the house. However, she has no idea that she has a weekend in the country in store for her! We're heading up to New Paltz tomorrow so hopefully she can fill up on green grass and squirrel chasing enough to sustain her through at least the next few weeks of being a city dog!
Jenny, I LOVE your blog. Keep it coming. It's so pleasant to wander around the neighborhood with you. As you may recall, Brooklyn was my childhood stomping ground, and Prospect Park a favorite place. (Did you ever find the special horse at the carousel, with the face of the Russian woodcarver's daughter's in the mane?) Anyway, thank you so much for graciously sharing and doing it so well.
