People have been quietly pointing out “Heath Ledger’s Bar” since they began remodeling the space across the street from Lokal, on the corner of Bedford and Lorimer in Greenpoint. And now that it’s open, one can see people slowing down as they walk by, discussing the bar with their companions, and remarking “We should totally go there this weekend for brunch!” I know because I sat on the bench in front of the restaurant waiting for my friends to meet me there for dinner!
I’ve been neglecting friendfood pretty much since I thought of it, but I’m not going to anymore. This weekend there will be lots of food made for the fourth of july. I am brainstorming ideas for easily eatable snacks that are filling and portable. So far here is my brainstormed list:
mini key lime pies
cream puffs with strawberries
potato salad
mexican spring rolls
veggie/real pigs in a blanket
We’ll see what makes it to the final menu, aka eaten by hordes of hungry humans.

I don’t like omlettes, but I’ve made hundreds of them and I learned how to make them in home and careers in 8th grade, so I kind of feel like the “omlette master” or something. So the key to omlettes is to make sure they are hot, fluffy, and cooked. It sounds easy, but I assure you it is not.

Here I am, nerding it out when my friend Dan made my guacamole recipe for the Co-Op where he worked. Tuesday is Taco Day there and my guacamole sold out! I am obsessed with avocados, and I try to incorporate them in everything I make. In the summer, I make guacamole at least once a week. One of my favorite things I like to make, I call Monika-Mex which pretty much is my take on various Mexican/Spanish themes on food. Guacamole is the crutch of most Monika-Mex success. (more…)
