For an afternoon pick-me-up, it doesn't get much better than radishes: crunchy and just a touch spicy, they're pure fun to eat. And what isn't made better by the addition of butter and salt? I'll tell you: nothing.

Try This Thursday / But Every Day, Really
I know, I know...it's Thursday. But this particular Try This Tuesday just felt like the perfect kickoff to the last official weekend of summer.
Little Italy / Il Fornaio
My family and I have been frequenting Il Fornaio for years, mostly because it's an inexpensive gem of a hole-in-the-wall that's nothing like the overpriced tourist traps that make up the bulk of the restaurants on the Mulberry strip.
My First Banh Mi Made Me Very Happy
I've never eaten banh mi before. Shameful, I know. Happily, I corrected that little problem earlier this afternoon at Baoguette, a Vietnamese sandwich shop in Gramercy that Kendrick frequents for lunch.
Chicken w/ White Wine, Peas & Shallots
Very excellent, flavorful stuff, and very easy - about 35 minutes start-to-finish, and about $20 for the whole shebang (serves 2 with potential for leftovers).
