Lexington Coop Asparagus Mystery
Category: food

The other day at the coop I found all the bottoms of some asparagus tucked in the cereal isle. I went to tell a worker who jokingly (I hope) told me I didn't need to hide them, that they gladly cut off the wooden bottoms for customers who ask so that they don't have to pay for that part.

She even told the other cashier, those are the guys who hid the aparagusbin the cereal isle and laughed.

So now, even though it wasn't me, I now kind of want to ask for that each time for them to cut the bottoms off which is only going to make it seem more like it was me after all. It would essentially cut the price in half if you were to cook them right away when you got hone.

I want to cook the wooden bits. It seems like such a waste to just chop them off and compost them.

There's such a difference in the taste of the veggies upstate.

I don't know but those wooden bits are pretty tasty when they soak in soy sauce and lemon juice and jaggery in a quick stir fry.

Woman Eats From Flower Pot
Category: food

Saw this at Coco on Main St. What is she eating?

This really should be an ad for Coco. Maybe they can hang it on that wall, and one day you'll take the same picture with the same woman.

I agree about the amazing quality of the photo. It's reminiscent of a Renaissance portrait. The quality of the light, the symmetry of the glasses and s&p shakers, the contrast between the washed brown wall and the purple chair back... great combination, all just to ask what she's eating! And since what she's eating looks absurd, it just makes the photo even better.
tinypliny - 06/17/14 00:43
You know that's what I thought - that the photo was a promotional photo. Something about the photo itself is amazing.
libertad - 06/16/14 20:35
So you took this photo? It's amazing!
tinypliny - 06/13/14 18:33
I want ice cream. :/
heidi - 06/13/14 18:32
It's an awesome brownie ice cream thing, very yummy. I had it during restaurant week.

When she left it was empty.
tinypliny - 06/13/14 18:14
She just received it as a birthday gift from whoever is sitting across from her :)

It Wasn't Albany
Category: thursdays
Shaggy sucked so bad. Especially went he thought he was in Albany. It was nice to be warm and outside in the rain though. Seemed very summary. The people were muddy like at Woodstock.

They made the tickets so big. I can't figure out why. Its less convenient, more paper waste and they look stupid. Good move killing the environment.

Black Rock Kitchen
Category: food
Okay maybe I do have a seafood problem. The food at the Black Rock Kitchen is delicious. I had a calamari, shrimp and crab appetizer to start followed by the crab cake BLT. The food was a bit expensive but it tasted so good. I wanted to try the lamb real bad but it was encrusted with pistachio and I'm not a big fan of pistachios after I ended up eating pistachio worms a couple times.
