Today was a cruddy day.  The rain, the wind, the wisdom tooth pains. It is the perfect combination for resulting in cranky, moody, miserable ME.

UNTIL, I discovered sorbet in fruit shells!!! OMG, incredible. I’ve only had this similar frozen dessert in my neighborhood restaurant, Belvedere.  But, now since I found it in a super store, I can enjoy them at home anytime I like. Although, it is not as freshly, homemade as the restaurant, it will just do when I have my midnight cravings. The bonus is that it comes in a variety of flavors, all of which I coincidentally love love love!

If reading this tidbit caused you to feel the need to urgently know where to find my precious discovery, feel free to email me under the “Contact” tab and write an essay of why I should tell you where to find this secret gem.

I  find myself talking more and more about Luke’s these days, and realize that I only wrote a few sentences about them in a tidbit without including any pictures. Also, I keep getting calls from people this past week asking for its location. So here I am writing a proper post on Luke’s Lobster! Easily inspired! A good thing?

 The ever so popular pork buns made popular by David Chang of the Momofuku line, come a tiny shop in LES whose menu only serves these sandwiches.

Sound gross?? BUT it’s actually hella good! I bumped into a colleague who offered me some. I was excited when I saw it but not initially because of its name (weird!). It is really tasty and delicious. It reminded me of genoa salami (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!). There were countless days (and nights!) where I’d get half a pound of it and dunk them in deli mustard… I would do this regularly once a week. Well, Lebanese bologna is quite similar in taste and in texture but the texture is slightly (very slightly) towards the bologna side.

Thanks FH for bringing some back from Philly!
