Father's day Feeding

What other cuisine screams "Happy Father's Day" more than good 'ole Barbecue?
Smoked meat, craft beer and beautiful weather!

Featured below are shots taken at Fette Sau, 354 Metropolitain Avenue, between Havemeyer and Roebling Sts., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.11211. They do not take Reservations, so its best to have your patience in check while waiting in line and a good group of friends by your side. Go ahead and hit the bar and sip on some cool refreshing brew while you wait for your tender, flavorful, delicious platters of food.


Yours truly.

RECYCLE-A-BICYCLE. Enough said.

How beautiful is this city? and yes, that IS a Carousel.

Look UP!

Standing tall.

Stunning.

My sights. My happiness. My life.

Spring had Sprung.... Summer has arrived!

Do you have a place at your residence with partial sun/shade? Do you have a window sill or garden? Fresh soil around your edifice? Then you have the ability to go outside and plant! There are far too many reasons why we should give back to nature - plant some flowers or adopt an indoor/house plant!


My boyfriend and I had decided to plant some perennials. The flowers of my choosing were from the wild-flowers family and resembled a certain "firey" flare. The colors struck me the moment I set eyes on them - bright yellows and warm oranges and reds excited me as much as the thought of planting them. On the other hand, my passionate significant other chose the deep purple, large petal flowers. Seeing as purple is one of his favorite colors, the irradescent image they convey balanced out well with the vigor of my wild blossoms.

Here ye New Yorkers, need not be afraid of growing or sustaining life in those small bucket windows. Immerse yourself in the therapeutic life of Horticulture and you will never regret the day you started!  

Signing off,

Lace, sustaining life.

DUMBO


This is the Brooklyn Bridge, under construction. I took this from DUMBO Park, Brooklyn. Whether an overcast or Sunny day, this view is still breathtaking. Being able to look at Manhattan from a clean, safe, secluded spot by the water is hot commodity. To all you New Yorkers out there: Go out and venture your city and its beautiful boroughs!

Signing off -

Lace, the adventurer.

Portion Control

This is the proper way to managing bar food:

Proportionate amounts of nutrition and pleasure.
*Fresh fruits
*Flavorful, aromatic wraps and sandwiches, created with 1 serving of carbohydrates (whole wheat pita or whole wheat wrap), 2-3oz of protein (smoked turkey, oven-roasted chicken or egg), 1oz of fatty acids (dressings), 1/2 oz of dairy (assorted cheeses), and vegetables (spinach, avocado, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, peppers, etc) to close.
