Yep, still mostly offline. 16 October 2008 6:40 pm
Posted by Tracy in : geekery,kitchen gear,news,nyc,restaurants , trackbackSo in case it wasn’t obvious from the lack of posts at the end of last week, we still don’t have internet at home. Last Wednesday the cable guy came not to the Moon Monkey Bar, Grille, and Cocktail Lounge, but rather to the building next door, because Time Warner doesn’t know our address exists. Eventually he figured out the “wrong building” problme and came over, but then he couldn’t get instructions from headquarters about how to install our cable, since they didn’t believe in our building’s existence. So the next step is to wait until they send someone out to figure out how to install cable in our building, no joke.
But! TracyFood adventures continue offline despite my having missed the chance to post a recipe on World Egg Day last Friday. For instance I’m at the NYU library right now, after my very first ever Experimental Cuisine Collective meeting, with Alex and Aki from Ideas in Food, who have reminded me that I desperately want a pressure cooker (despite the fact that there’s no room in our apartment for our current kitchen shit, let alone new stuff). More examples of my recent TracyFood adventures include:
Fancy vegetarian tasting menu at Tocqueville last Thursday!
Mapping out possible places to get Nepalese food in NYC (it’s been more than a year since the start of the trip now, holy cats):
Trying and failing to locate at least one of those places, and reading in the latest Village Voice (it’s the “best of” issue) that another is closed.
Finally making Michael Natkin’s five-minute Indian-style cabbage (verdict: nom!)
Tibetan Kitchen, earlier today!
And so on.
Plus food news! Yesterday’s Sunday New York Times is chock-full of food geeky goodness, especially in the magazine section.
