Our first home cooked meal (it's been a while)



I am



 almost embarrassed to admit it but we have been eating out for about two months now.  Between packing, moving, and setting up our new place cooking just hasn't been an option.  When we finally got out kitchen somewhat set up I wanted our first meal at home to be a memorable one.  I got these beautiful lobsters, corn that tasted like the middle of the summer (where did it come from?), parsley new potatoes and a bottle of Chassagne Montrachet. 

New Neighborhood






We recently relocated from San Diego to Brooklyn, more specifically Sunset Park.  Our new place puts us right in the middle of Brooklyn's wonderful Chinatown on 8th Avenue and a few blocks away from all of the Mexican places on 5th.  A few days ago we took a walk up 8th to buy some groceries, I was just blown away by the amazing variety and fantastic quality of the produce.  Black chickens, razor clams, durian, pig snouts, snake skin, geoduck, sea snails, loofah, here are a few photos.
