I return to the blog with this update: I’ve been living in Miami for about eight weeks in a “furnished” apartment whose kitchen is woefully devoid of towels, a vegetable peeler, reasonable pots and pans, a grater, spices and many other kitchen treasures that I’ve come to rely on. My cooking has gone very minimalist. We also had no Internet access at home for the first six weeks I was here. So my blogging has suffered.
Miami is not the city for me, and I really, really look forward to returning to the comforts of Boston. Fresh food is also remarkably difficult to come by at reasonable prices. I know that food prices are up everywhere, but I hope food isn’t as expensive in Boston as it is here! $5 for a pound of tomatoes??!
This is a photo of a fruit stand in Brooklyn from Brooklyn Photographic Experience. I dream about access to fresh vegetables.
i was wondering what happened. no internet access? whew. i thought you had completely morphed into the miami vicelette. thongs, red bull, and maraschino cherries.
spell check on that mara…no.
Dude. I bought a juice extractor yesterday. Ever use one? It is, hands down, the most incredible contraption. Why didn’t we have one in our apartment? Right now I’m sipping on some fresh grapefruit juice, straight from the juicer. I think I’m in love. I may not have running water, or substantial barbed wire guarding my house, or 24-hour electricity, or a bed with a real mattress…but I have a juice extractor. And it is glorious. If you know any good smoothie recipes using mangoes or pineapples let me know!
