Friday night, went to Eataly for bread and prosciutto; Saturday, the Farmer’s Market.

Went to Mission Chinese last Friday with a friend. Got there with the early birds when it opened and were seated right away. By the time we left an hour later the wait for a two-top was three hours. No, thank you.

But the food was fun–Kung Pao Pastrami?–and the killer dish was thrice cooked bacon. I’d go back for that alone. I’d just make sure to go early–and maybe lunch is doable, too.

Mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, kraut, chili…how do you like your dog? I’ve tried the Chicago-style dogs and think they’re great.

Usually, though, I’ll just go with mustard, though I can also do relish or, if I’m feeling particularly brave, onions. Ketchup, never. But The Wife always puts ketchup (and mustard) on hers, so go figure.

How much is too much to spend on a pie? Is $35 bucks too much?

Yes, schmuck, it is. At least, the wife sure thinks so and she ragged on me all weekend for forking over that much for a salted caramel apple pie at Four and Twenty Blackbirds. We were out in Brooklyn on Saturday visiting cousins and I’ve always wanted to try this place so on our way back home I bought a whole pie.

Was it worth it? As a treat, yes. The pie is damn good. Dumb expensive but good. Not the best pie I’ve ever had but I’d rate it 8 out of 10 for sure. I got a slice of chocolate pecan pie for the wife who stopped busting my chops momentarily as she ate.

I don’t have a thing for red velvet cake or cupcakes but I saw this picture and damn do I ever want one.

The jammies over at Magnolia are pretty slammin’.
