My New Bike

Well, its not that new (I got it for my birthday in December).  But its finally nice enough to start riding it! It's made by Linus Bikes, which is a very cool company based in Venice, CA. Their designs are inspired by French bicycles of the 50's and 60's. They have a few different models and to be honest it was really hard to decide which one was best for me.  In the end I went with the Mixte 3 in black (the top image),which is sporty but still has a classic design.

Oh, and Jason bought my bike from this amazing bike store in Tribecca, Adeline Adeline. They sell a beautiful selection of well-designed bikes, saddles, helmets, baskets, anything you might need for biking!

Travel Love: Our road trip movie

Finally! The movie from our 2010 road trip throughout the southwest and southeast of America...made with love by Jason. Watching it makes me wish we were on the road right now...

Happy first day of spring!

Home again

We are back! With serious jet-lag. Haven't really slept in 3 days and its wearing on us. New posts coming soon, along with a trip report.  In the meantime, here is the story of a lonely whale.

Holiday!

We are finally off to Thailand today. Back in two weeks!

The Weekend

On Sunday we visited some open houses around Brooklyn Heights, and fell in love with an apartment that was just too small. Then we saw a few that were not quite right.  So the search continues...
Then we went to have a late lunch at Eat in Greenpoint.  If you have not been, go! They have wonderful local, organic food that is sooooo fresh. The menu changes daily so you will want to go back often.
Then we came home and I made vegan golden vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting (modified with vegan butter and almond milk), and sprinkled them with coconut and red sugar. For valentine's day, of course.

Museum of Natural History

Some pretty specimens from our trip to the Museum of Natural History this past weekend!

Sauerbraten

This tasty dish is an old German-Baltimore classic. We used to have it about once a year growing up and it was always a special treat. Also, it takes three days to make! I have been making my own vegetarian version for several winters now, so this year I decided that a snowy New Years weekend would be the perfect time. I usually mix-and-match a few different recipes, but here is a really good one. xxGina

Snowed in...

We have had some crazy weather in New York this week. Our trip to Thailand was postponed after a disastrous journey from Baltimore, several hours on the phone with Cathay Pacific, and one night sleeping on the airport floor. So instead of elephant rides and beachside cocktails, we have been home watching movies, eating homemade soup, and catching up on sleep. Here are some nice winter images from Alec Soth.
