Saturday, February 26th, 2011Taking Inventory
Amazing day….we’re redoing our bathroom. Our old house had many upgrades, but plumbing wasn’t on that list. Lee is absolutely amazing. He worked 5 hours on it today just so the plumbing would be fresh for us. I do realize how fortunate I am to have him. Lee never complains and works on stuff here [...]
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie
After visiting Fairway Market in Red Hook, we saw the signs for Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie. We followed the signs to Pier 41 and headed inside to get our pie. Inside the old warehouse is a sectioned off area for a counter to sell pies. You know the pies are good when that’s all [...]
Monday, February 21st, 2011Chicken Ridiculous
In this part of Brooklyn (Bay Ridge, Dyker, Bensonhurst) everyone about the famous Chicken Ridiculous. It’s a legacy sandwich around this part of Brooklyn.

So we wanted to put a mailbox up. Something that had a bit of flair and was chic. Alas, Pottery Barn put out a mailbox. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh so beautiful. Lee put it up right away. I have to take a picture of it on our red brick home. So pretty! *My friend told me it looked [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! I love Valentine’s Day. It’s just a day to remind people to be grateful for the people they love. If you aren’t in love, don’t worry it’s coming.

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011Saturday Spin
Lee’s new position at work has kept him busy this January. He’s been working a lot of extra hours, especially on the weekend. On Friday morning, he asked if I would go with him to Harbor Freight in New Jersey. I know Jersey well enough to not need a map and even though we have [...]
