These are chocolate chip, walnut meringue cookies. Hands down my favorite. I make mine a bit differently. I lower the sugar by almost half. I use a combination of bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate(that’s right, you read it) and chopped walnuts. The meringue is still really sweet and the cookie has a crunch on the outside and is chewy inside. The unsweetened chocolate chips wake your mouth up and then the sugar hits you and then, well, it’s good. Trust me. Super easy, no yoke politics.

I made this. So this is a soupy stew with a chicken broth base with cannellini beansthats kind an Iberia favorite based on Caldo Gallego. Strat by browning sliced chorizo from Despaña on Broome St. In Soho. They’ll let go off just enuf fat to sautee garlic (use the whole clove, we’re Spanish!), add tomato concentrate,
Parsley, a touch of cayenne and let that percolate.Add the stock and mix, then empty the whole can, gooey stuff too, into the mix. I add some smoked paprika and lemon juice to. Salt to taste and simmer. Heat your oven to 400. Then I cut up some salmon and placed in a tray covered with parchment which had about a tbspn of good olive oil on it. Toss the salmon in the oil and sprinkle some smoked applewood salt on it and put it ,Skin side down, in the lowest tray of your oven. See how it’s doing, but about 5 mins should get it done. Oh, I forgot, I roasted four tomato’s sliced in half with oil s&p and got them shrivelish. Anyway, after the salmon skin has some color, flip them and cook for another minute or two. Ladle your stew in a big bowl. Place the tomato halfs in there and put the salmon pieces on top. Then I finely shredded, radicchio and endive and bit of parsley to
Add some bitter to this very savory mix. It would be great with a baguette, but I’m trying to lessen carbs and sugar. I’m glad I don’t carry because I want to rob a candy store.
Anyway, Nugs liked it, so I was happy!

This is such a great loft! The seaport now feels like some unexplored and new place, because it is! I invite you to look at this singular space. It has all the hits, at least for me. Vaulted ceilings, wood beams, steel, brick, cable, all of it. Spaces like this remind me of why NYC is so unique!

Proud of the first born as she makes her way to Cali to start a job with Foodcorps. She’ll be working with school kids teaching about food, nourishment and nutrition. Because of her kindness, empathy, sense of humor and scholarship, I know she’ll have a great impact on these kids and they will have on her.

I love this pic of Nugsy! She’s probably 25ish but looks like a kid and someone you definitely want to hang out with. She caught the biggest smallmouth bass I’ve even seen in the flesh. This woman is full of surprises mixed with wonderment!
