fancy ham and cheese sandwich, originally uploaded by nichellest.

Before eating a delicious croque-monsieur at Lucky Strike, I went to a book party in Soho for photographer Lisa Kereszi’s book, Fantasies.  It was a crazy crowded at the party which was held in a Soho loft.  There was one gray haired man walking around eating a bowl of cereal. I think that’s his “party schtick”. Other people tie knots out of cherry stems.

I did fondue at the book party for Joanne Chen’s book, The Taste of Sweet. The party was held Thursday night at the lovely Mariebelle store in Soho.

A sombrero is no Easter bonnet, but it is what I spotted yesterday in my neighborhood.

I think “Peace on Earth” should also be said at Easter, too.

Me like free: I just got a package of Tetley new flavored green teas. I can’t wait to try the blueberry.
Rah Rah for Risotto: Food Blogger Not Eating Out In New York is hosting a Risotto Cook-Off on April 2.
Mission: I want to organize a baker’s dozen of participants to join me in this year’s Art Parade on September 5. The theme will be cupcakes!

This morning I started the day with a Slim Jim which was left over from the Roanoke trip. This evening I had macaroni and cheese at Florent which is delicious and carb-tastic. I even upgraded by ordering Black Forest Ham with it just to be naughty. Besides, Purim is on Friday.

Martha is knitting a scarf for a friend using bison(buffalo) yarn and cashmere. Buffalo yarn is new to me, but I love a good bison burger!

Happy cupcake bloggers, originally uploaded by Rachel from Cupcakes Take the Cake.

By the way, I run a cupcake blog with my friends, Allison and Rachel. Last week, we went to Martha’s Country Bakery in Astoria for a cupcake meetup.

I also wrote about cupcakes with fondant icing for NewYorkology and New York Mag’s Grub Street picked up my post for their weekly round-up from the blogs.
