Sicilian Slices from Two Boots Pizza on Bleecker

This pizza blew my mind. The sauce, oh lordy, the sauce. It was garlicky and tangy and NOT sweet at all. I am not a fan of sweet marinara. This was savory enough to border on spicy, but NOT hot-spicy. I don't usually get Sicilian slices, but I did that day. Now I'm wondering if they use the same sauce on the regular slices. I have been daydreaming about this pizza ever since that day, and I've been scheming a scheme to go back there. I had this between work shifts on 9/21/11.

Split Pea Soup with Croutons

Talk about your amazing comfort food. Diners just do that kind of thing right. This was at Westway Diner on 9/22/11. Those croutons were so buttery and crispy, and the soup was like velvet. That's good shit, man.

Soy Hot Dogs with Fixin's

I believe this was 9/10/11. Now, I am not a vegetarian, but I got these so O could have hot dogs with me. When you put mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle slices, you would never know that these were soy. And I can ALWAYS tell when they are soy. I like my salty pork hot dogs, darn it! I think the fluffy white buns helped, too, though they probably had more calories than that dogs themselves. And let me mention that a slice of dill pickle is FAR superior to relish. Texture!

Fuji Apple

Ate this on a break from work, hanging out in front of the Helmsley Building

Fettucine with Mozzarella, Cherry Tomatoes, and Arugula

This was at Lisca on the Upper West Side, a regular favorite when we go to dinner with O's parents. Delicious and simple as always, but also beautiful. Fresh red and green against the color of the pasta. Good stuff.
