There was a death in the family if you must know.

No, not my akita, Evita.*

This unplanned gap in posting was due to going upstate for my Nana’s funeral. Well, that took up some of the time. The rest of the time was spent recovering from the cold-cut-overload (Italians like to bury the grief with food) and getting back to work.

Cooking hasn’t been top of my list, obviously. Sunday night, I picked up some beef brisket soup with hand pulled noodles and a side of greens with oyster sauce from Nan Zhou. Last night was the leftovers from that. Tonight?

Mm.

There was a trip to Han Dynasty, that was so, so good and will be discussed sometime soon.

Hm. I also need to download the pictures and write about Danielle’s birthday brunch at Sabrina’s. Which was….January? Frig, man. February was rough.
