A Day Like This Calls For A Fat Hippo Nap

Sunday morning at the Frick. Love Love Love Italian renaissance religious paintings. And Vermeer. Then to the Met for a tour on Buddhism. It was was great to hear the stories retold. Have such love for Asian art thanks to Punam Madhok. Afterwords Lorna treated Faye and I to an unforgettable vegan lunch/dinner? (I don't even know what time it was)

For Starters, Live Tomato-Avacado Tartare: trumpet royale ceviche, quinoa chips with poblano dressing; and Seaweed Salad: hijiki, arame, cabbage, edamame, radish, wasabi leaves with a sesame ginger dressing.

Main course(s), Seitan Poccata: creamed spinach, grilled potato pancake, oyster mushrooms and lemon-caper sauce, Cumin-Basil Crusted Tempeh: lemon quinoa tabouli, sautéed broccoli raab and basil-roasted corn sauce; Corn & Wild Mushroom Crepe: summer vegetables, basil aioli and mesclun greens.

And to finish things off, Strawberry Pie and a Berry Phyllo Tower: coconut-vanilla cream, fresh berries, and berry coulis. Yummm. So very special.

I came home and rested a bit and then my roommate Anna made us banana and pear crepes w/ vanilla ice cream (but she called them German pancakes). They were actually more of a cross between crepes and pancakes.

While she cooked, she manged to break a glass dish and I broke the projector...I think...I hope not. No projector, so we watched a movie in my room.

The end. What a day filled w/ lovely food and company.

No pictures= I've been a slacker. sorry.

What's that you say... you were treated how?
To a pagan lunch and a salad with problemo dresssing?
A meal filled with so- many negatives and insults... let's hope you didn't tip well and by all means, don't go back.
