[Life: Make] MEXICAN CORN ON THE COB
Directions:
If you don’t have a grill…
In an oven heated at 350, cook corn in husk for 25 minutes.
After taking corn out of oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then pull husk layers off.
If you want to blacken you corn for some of that grilling effect, put it under the broiler for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Roll the ears in melted butter, then spread with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and cayenne (be careful). Serve with a lime wedge to squeeze just before eating.
A bit messy to make but totally cheap and delicious… and so fast.
Today I’m going to heaven with a crew of fantastic coworkers. Life is good.
Sample menu of a culinary dream come true a.k.a. Alinea.
I would travel to Chicago once a week to eat there if I had the ability.
I can’t wait to go this fall. I’m confident that with a full week there I can squeeze in at least 2 meals here.
Now here’s a debate I can get behind: On a Scone: Jam or Cream first?
Where to eat in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
I really love food. This is part of an ongoing series I have going where I’m sharing my favorite eats in different neighborhoods and cities. So far I’ve covered the LES, West Village, Soho & Nolita , East Village , Chelsea & the Flatiron District and Tribeca. This week I’m sharing my Wiliamsburg faves (little known fact: I lived here when I first moved to the city. It was brief - 3 months - but I’ve been back many times since).

Overall…I think that Williamsburg is a neighborhood with fun, casual places that serve solid food at a good price (esp. for NYC). Nothing quite hits the spot (for me) remotely near the level of like Babbo or Perry St or Mas Farmhouse…but there are a lot of good places to eat. However, I’m far from the expert so I want to know, what are your favorite Wburg faves?
Update: Thanks for all the tips on closings and ones to add to the list. Keep them coming!
Ps - Next week I’m heading up to the UWS (!) yes, I do venture above the Mason-Dixon from time to time, especially for Dovetail and some of my other NYC favorites. Have any faves up there? Tell me: sap (at) lifelovepursuit.com.
[Life: Make] Homemade Trifle
I recently discovered this dessert and have become an addict. Easy to make (i.e., impossible to burn and you can buy the premade cake if you really want to go easy) and sooo delicious. Bonus points that it makes for a good presentation if you are having guests over.
