weekend at home
back to reality
back home
weekend rituals
resume
with the added bonus
of
meeting
a blogger
after being 'friends' online
for about 2 years
saturday
i had the pleasure of meeting
face to face
with
okay
so her real name
isnt
'Beth'
i am not sure
she would feel comfortable
with
me
using
her real name
here in cyberspace
her friend Iris
(not Iris, Jill, apologies to Jill if she's reading this)
(not Iris, Jill, apologies to Jill if she's reading this)
took the photo
they are both book review bloggers
while
i didnt know or read Jill's' blog
i have been reading 'Beth's'
getting some wonderful recommendations
both
for myself
and
for books to give others
we met at
in
the
new york historical society building
on west 77th street
we had tasty frittatas topped with lox
(salt cured smoked salmon to those of you who dont know)
in charming surroundings
chosen
because
she and Jill were planning on visiting the museum
caffè storico
has been open about 18months
i believe its opening
coincided
with the renovations the ny historical society building underwent
you dont have to belong to or even go to the museum
to dine in the cafe
and
there's a fun gift shop to explore
as well
it was
a
hot
hot
hot
day
brunch was really good
and
we both indulged
in
dessert
two scoops
of
sorbet
pineapple and salted chocolate
come on
tell me
you could have passed that up
i dont believe you
