NYC's Union Fare Bakery croissants, birthday cake and green tea. Didn't get cookies and cream or PB&J. You'll need to skip a meal to balance the calories out. The French probably eye roll these - silly barbaric Americans.  They're good, but not stand on line worth it IMHO.

After last week's golf orgy, and with cold weather on the weekend, I think tomorrow is a good day for cooking a texas-style brisket. Should be ready by the start of the skins-cards at 4.

OK, after dry rub last night, and 4 hours on the grill today with hickory smoke, another couple of hours in the oven and it'll be ready to eat.  My house smells incredible!

Usually, I've never had stuff at TJ's that I didn't like. . .in this case I'll just read the reviews. . .

I made sliders outside in the snow and cold and dark. They were yummy.

Grilling is a year-round thing for us too, even using charcoal.  I'm the master of using a timer to minimize the time spent outside in the cold.

Staring with a room temperature steak and having a super hot grill will minimize time

Yup, I like hardwood charcoal because it burns hotter than briquettes.  Briquettes are better for slow cooks like the brisket I made a while back, easier to control the heat.

There have been some in NY, as many as ten years ago, even Whole Check Foods tried it downtown, but I guess it never took off, plus sushi associated w/these places not great. There's a Yo! in Paramus.

I don't eat a ton of pizza, but anytime I'm in Connecticut I try to get to Willington Pizza House (near UConn)...the red-potato pie is an all-timer:

The ones in Taiwan that I went to were good, but they're less of a gimmick there. Sushi around me can be hit or miss anyway. The only consistently good sushi places cost way too much money.
