It's a totally touristy thing to do, but heck, it's New York City!
Saturday in NYC
First full day today in the city.
Today at Breakfast Club
Good old reliable Trifecta with a twist: carrot cake pancake and millionaire’s bacon.
Co-Worker Farewell
Kathy joins her husband Mike on a job transfer to Alabama. Pizza party at Benny’s.
Midweek Dine-out
A co-worker/good friend from my Canada days was in town so dinner at a local pizzeria (Harvest in old Dublin) was in order.
More Sun-Chasing Shenanigans, Part 2
Jiro continues to find ways to enjoy the sun from inside the house.
Twin Tomahawks
Saturday’s dinner party main course was a pair of 3-lb tomahawk ribeyes, prepared sous vide style and finished on the grill. A second dish of spicy prawns with a spicy lime mango salsa rounded up the surf and turf theme.
Homemade Burgers
Tonight’s dinner: fresh-ground bacon beef short rib burger with grated Pecorino Romano cheese on a toasted brioche bun.
Summer Heat
As the temperature soars, Jiro prefers the cool indoors versus the steamy, sticky outdoors.
Tapas Night
First time at VASO Rooftop Restaurant at AC Hotel Dublin was quite a lovely experience. Food was great (tapas!) and the ambiance was unbeatable. Definitely worth many return trips!
Baked Treats
A custard-filled Cruffin, a bi-color Matcha croissant, a sweet cinnamon chocolate croissant, and a cappuccino to wake things up from Dan The Baker’s Toast Bar. Perfect Saturday morning breakfast fare.
Boodle Fight
Filipino food in Columbus, OH! Tonight’s dinner was not only fantastic, it was also so much fun!
More Sun-Chasing Shenanigans
Jiro continues to chase the sun throughout the house all day.
Today at Breakfast Club
Wild sockeye salmon eggs benedict, lemon-drizzled greens, and millionaire’s bacon.
Evening Walk on the Longest Day of the Year
Probably the most humid as well.
Sun Lover
Jiro loves the sun. He’s learned to drag his bed to the spot wherever the sun is coming into the house at the time. And when it moves to the other end of the house later in the day, he just moves over to where it is and flops down on the floor.
Today at Breakfast Club
The ‘elevated’ egg sandwich, with sides of potatoes and millionaire’s maple-candied bacon.
Guiding Light
The FINAL final touch to my spring time house number pillar project: a solar-powered LED spot light to help direct visitors at night.
Spa Day
Sometimes, my feet get a treat.
Marble Rock
The final touch to my spring time house number pillar project: a bed of white marble rock to dress it all up.
