Felidia

I never recounted my incredible food weekend. As I mentioned it started at Felidia’s in NYC. It was an all around great experience. Here is a recount of what we had. We shared a couple of dishes and then got our own entrees. We started with Polipo all Griglia and Gamberi al Limone. The polipo (octopus) came in two forms, grilled and then a mosaic on the bottom of the plate that was thinly sliced and in a lemon type sauce. I felt that the grilled octopus was good, not amazing as I have had it in many different ways. However, the mosaic octupus was very flavorful and really a great way to present the octopus. The Gamberi al Limone was a definite win. The combination of the creaminess and the citrus was perfect and made this a flawless dish.

For our second course we tried two of the signature pastas, Ravioli con Cacio e Pere and Krafi. The pear ravioli was very tasty but the explosion of flavors of the Krafi were unmatched. These two were extremely successful in my opinion but if I had to do it again I would get the Krafi.

For our main courses we got the following: (Merluzzo, Pappa al Pomodoro, Baccala Mantecato), Zuppa di Pesce con Fregola and Carre di Agnello, Collo “Ossobucco”. The were excellent dishes with my favorite being the Merluzzo, Pappa al Pomodoro, Baccala Mantecato. It was a perfect combination of flavors. Look out for North Fork Table & Inn coming up soon.

Talk about bringing back great childhood memories, Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animations are going to bring the little guys to the big screen. How exciting! I know I am a little old to be so interested, but it’s crazy how much joy and entertainment those little smurfs gave us. They were just a huge bundle of happiness! 

Sony Captures ‘Smurfs’ For the Big Screen

It’s a very exciting today in our household. Today we are getting our first delivery of our weekly vegetables from our CSA, Golden Earthworm. In case you don’t know what a CSA is, it is community supported agriculture, where people can buy a farm share for the growing season which runs from June through November. Every week they deliver a box of prduce from the vegetables that are ripe and ready to be harvested. It’s great because the vegetables are fresher and taste better than anything you would buy in the store. In addition, our CSA is organic so we have the added advantage of that. This weeks harvest includes lettuce, spinach, arugula, radishes and rhubarb. I have already decide to make some pizza with the arugula and the rest we’ll probably make into a salad. Rhubarb is always interesting, but I think I am going to make a rhubarb pie this year. Check out you local farmer’s market, you’re likely to find info there.
