Short Lived Spring

first harvest of greens

made jaeyook bokum spicy pork to make ssam bap lettuce hand wrap things.

now that jen is in class wednesday and thursday nights I'm on dinner duty.  This was spanish night, spanish omlettes, mahon and idiazabal cheese, and some kind of franken instapot spanish chick pea soup.

in a rare period of bob feeling like doing the thing he really wanted to go on a  hike so we went to bear mountain.

we were dog sitting gucci who wouldn't be able to make it a whole day without peeing in our apt so we had to bring her along.  We don't have a dog backpack or something so she just got plopped into this totebag.

hahahhahaha

we even got fu to hike.  It was a pretty sweaty time.

Industrial Arts Brewing Company down the road.  It was open and airy and a very cool place with great beer.  two thumbs up.

d.b.a in east village is a dog friendly bar 

Vivi aka Maiko my old roomie at FIT visited from Michigan with Eisuke and child.

So the Korean Melon beer worked out!  Its got a very subtle flavor.

The sun gold cherry tomato plant has been going crazy and flexing it's muscles too much so as per the internet we pruned down the unnecessary branches so it can put more energy into making fruit and less into making more leaves.  It hurts me everytime i have to cut off leaves, look at how much there is here!

how much I had to cut off the other two heirloom tomato plants

Come at me birds and squirrels (bugs don't come at me).  Helms Deep is complete, I can't guarantee it's impenetrability though.

I drove Steven and Adam down to the Coney Island area to purchase 60 pounds of honey from a guy in the back of an electronics shop.  Yes you read that correctly.  The honeyman leaves at 5 but the electronics shop stays open til 8 so we met some other dude that didn't blink twice when they said they were here for the honey.  He pointed over behind some boxes and I thought we were gonna have to go down into some shady basement but it was just some 5 gallon buckets of honey and a honey sampling station.  I guess you've got to be an incredible entrepreneur if you are selling honey out of your electronics store on Coney Island Ave.

a 5 gallon bucket of honey is very heavy.  So everyone agreed this was the weirdest purchase they've ever made in item and situational scope.  Oh and you might be wondering this whole time why the h#ll do they want 5 gallons of honey.  It's cuz they make mead which is made from honey.  After this we got a pizza from spumoni gardens and played pool and drank beer back in south slope to celebrate the honey score.
