I know I said I was going to post recipes from that awesome church cookbook that Mom found, but that will have to wait till tomorrow.
Today we piled into a taxi…some of us held on for dear life…
We went to Manganaro’s on 9th Avenue and 37th Street. It’s an old world Italian deli in the front and amazing restaurant (counter service) in the back. OH MY GOD. Simply amazing. The best chicken parm I have had in my life. I can’t wait to go back. Don’t believe me? Believe Anthony Bourdain.
As if that wasn’t enough good food, we walked up 2 blocks and hit Cupcake Cafe. Yes, really. Those are my favorite cupcakes in all of NYC. The other cupcake places are pale imitations.
Total absolute food bliss today. Did I mention the Peroni?
Wait…there’s more…dinner tonight with Heidi & Laura. Super Awesome Foodie Day.

Do me a favour, will you, please? Remember LucyB, the calico kitty in Alabama who is 23 years old?
Yesterday, she had a “little” seizure and then another one last night.
Ever since your Talas died, I have feared for Lucy’s health – she is sooooo old and frail. I’ve grieved with you and didn’t even know Talas.
A bit of a kind thought can’t hurt, can it?
Thanks,
~Mad(elyn) in Alabama

Sending kind thoughts for you and your Lucy, Madelyln. 23 is a quite a record.
On the food topic, we watched “I like killing flies,” a documentary about Shropsins restaurant. We liked it. Have you eaten there?

Mad – Thinking only good thoughts for your Lucy!!! I prescribe lots of head scratches and cuddles.
Kate – Nope, never heard of it, but now I have to go check it out! The website is super intriguing.

I’ve been wanting to go to Manganaro’s since I saw that place on Anthony Bourdain’s show a few weeks ago. Yum- I’m jealous. I seriously need to get up off my butt and come up to NYC.
