Things I have not yet written about that I did last week (among other things that I did but may likely not write about because they are too boring) with extremely brief commentary:
- ate at Little Giant (scrumptious, get the brussels sprouts, as they’re merely an excuse to eat spoonsful of butter and maple syrup disguised as vegetables) with Rob, Lauren, and Elisabeth, a co-worker who is set on eating at 52 new restaurants in 6 months. I am hoping to tag along.
- saw Barefoot in the Park with Mark (eh — cute, but not great)
- took a kickboxing class (loved it — excellent for stress relief and cardio)
- ate at Del Posto with Elisabeth (two new ones in a week!) and Maura (Mario at an ultra-luxurious level; excellent pasta and a space so big you can hardly believe it’s in New York)
- got a haircut to cure the mid-winter blahs
- saw The Pajama Game with Mom (go see it — it’s a classic, old-school style musical. I will now have "Hernando’s Hideaway" stuck in my head for a week. Ole!)

I think those brussel sprouts are f*cking wretched. the brussels sprouts that I make are, comparatively speaking, far better. They involve chiffoning the brussels sprouts and adding them to a pan that is already coating with olive oil and generous slices of shallots. once the brussel sprouts are carmelized i add copious amounts of thinly sliced garlic, more olive oil and a generous pinch of crushed chili pepper. i will stack these against maple-syrup brussels sprouts any day. i rock.

Thanks for the Del Posto link. I was just watching “Mario Full Boil” and wondering how it’s doing. Watching Food Network while working out on an elliptical runner, irony at it’s finest.
