The New England weather has turned. This weekend I had to put away my beloved sandals and search out my colder weather boots. Yesterday it even snowed a bit and it’s not even Halloween! The creamery closes October 30th, which prompted me to get my last licks in this weekend.

I picked up this beautiful piece of smoked bacon from New York City’s German specialty store, Schaller & Weber. I’m making a homemade bean and bacon soup and I’m absolutely delighted with this gorgeous piece of smoked bacon.

What took so long?!! I love potato chips and I love sriracha. It’s like Santa came early this year!
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand. – Harry S Truman
Who doesn’t love a good bagel? Suddenly, the Upper West Side has become a magnet for baked goods. The first branch of Orwashers, the Upper East Side bakery that turns 100 next year, will open in December in a space where it will bake on the premises. Not counting a kiosk in Bryant Park, Breads Bakery will open its second store in October, this one near Lincoln Center. And the H & H Bagels name will return to the neighborhood this winter. The new bakery is a branch of H & H Midtown Bagels East, the spinoff from the original, which was on Broadway. Now there’s a reason to move back to the West Side!
Orwashers: 440 Amsterdam Avenue
Breads Bakery: 1890 Broadway
H & H Midtown Bagels East: 526 Columbus Avenue
