Enjoying a late lunch with my friend T. is a long conversation, catching up.
Miss Nellie’s lost us to India / Times Square where the menu is long and on a screen. By long, I mean extensive and, let’s face it, enticing. Miss Nellie’s is catty corner from India etc.
It’s menu is predictably smash burger and salads.
It is truly serviceable but not exotic, and we preferred the wilder choice.
We each chose an item from the vegetarian selections.
Saffron, that rare and expensive spice, is rare and expensive because it’s challenging to harvest.
As a spice, it’s a deeply yellow hue. The little florets are purple.
I did not know that.
Here’s advice that is both timely and practical, well, timely for me since there was a leak in my egg drawer. Not eggs, I’m happy to report as that would be a big mess, but it caused a need for a clean-up.
Don’t keep the fridge door open for longer than 5 minutes. Then give your refrigerator 20 minutes for recovery.
I don’t think I knew that. Didya?
I learned a new word from the NYT The Morning pangram (I want to call it pan-a-gram, but it’s not). Monocracy, government or rule by one person, also referred to as dictatorship.
All The Best
