We visited Teaneck Creek Conservatory this afternoon as a part of Chloe’s homework. She’s been learning about history about this place at school and she couldn’t wait to tell us about it.

She told us that Native American, Lenni Lenape live here 400 years ago and that this area was the first “Indian reservation” in New Jersey. She really knew what she was talking about. Who knew?!

Too bad, Sandy destroyed most of it here too…

Today, I walked around NYC doing a trend walk with our clients. 9 hours.

Croissants with pesto, arugula, pears, grapes and prosciutto

Pumpkin muffin with whipped cream.

I felt bad that there wasn’t enough tacos for the kids to eat last night, so I made it for lunch again.

He’s the skeptical one.

Chloe ate 9 of those and Shane ate 5. That’s pretty good. 🙂

I made mini fish tacos as an appetizer for potluck get together tonight at the Wei’s.

Tilapia fish taco with arugula and avocado topped with wasabi creme.

The star dish: slow cooked pork

We spent a lot of time with these friends during the “powerless” last couple of weeks.

Cheers to our friendship!

These are shots of our street.

We are one of the fortunate families who lost power for only a few days.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all those who have felt the devastating effects of this Hurricane Sandy…

Spinach artichoke dip

Cheese stuffed dates with prosciutto

Penne alla vodka

Tuscany chicken

Sweet and spicy chicken wings

Spiced nuts

We got to return our favors to friends who lost power.
