Heartichoke: The Perfect Lychee Martini

Posted on November 13, 2012 by jess sconé • 5 Comments

‘Perfect’ is such a temperamental, evolving term, and I certainly wouldn’t be using it if my sister didn’t keep lychee juice in her fridge for her precious lychee martinis. Our stop into Verlaine on the lower east side, years ago, for $5 lychee martinis during happy hour takes the inspiration, and we almost repeated it for … Continue reading »

Thai Tuesday: Lemongrass & Yellow Curry Baked Tofu

Posted on October 16, 2012 by jess sconé • 6 Comments

Welcome back to Thai Tuesday! Thanks to the constant presence of lemongrass, hot peppers and a can of coconut in my small kitchen this summer, I have another actual recipe to share.

Monday is for Reminiscing: Celebrating in Seattle

Posted on October 8, 2012 by jess sconé • 9 Comments

Soy Latte, Kaladi Brothers, Capitol Hill Turning 30 has been ridiculously wonderful with a little more ridiculous thrown in. J. Legume and I spent some truly lovely time in Seattle, eating Thai cuisine for every single, glorious meal, and then I headed off to Victoria, B.C. where I caught up with my BFF Gabrielle, sipped sparkling … Continue reading »
