To celebrate 5,000 blog hits I bought myself "On Food and Cooking" aka the strangest and most interesting food book ever.

The amazing abundance of mint, sold in big bushels for the deservedly famous tea.

Huevos con Chorizo at Cafe Habana in SoHo, and French/Moroccan at Cafe Gitane just around the corner.

I got to spend a delicious and amazing evening in the kitchen of New York restaurant PUBLIC!
