More Key West: Paseo’s corn on the cob with aioli, parmesan, cilantro, and lime; a dock on the water; what Wikipedia says is actually the southernmost incorporated point in the U.S.; and Paseo’s “Caribbean Roast” sandwich: slow roasted pork, grilled onions, jalapeño, aioli, and lettuce on a baguette. Yummy day!

Deliciousness I have eaten of late: a strawberry rhubarb tartlet with vanilla bean pastry cream at Lot 2 in Brooklyn, a key lime pie in the Florida Keys, and tonight, I made my mama a shiitake, kale, and kalamata pizza!

Meat heaven at Fatty ‘Cue in the West Village! Brisket with smoked onion marmalade, mango & papaya slaw, and bao (and Chinese broccoli in the background); pork ribs with fish palm sauce; and smoked, braised, and fried bacon with sweet & spicy salsa verde. YUM.

This past weekend, I attempted a pineapple upside down cake for my birthday, but despite it being pretty damn delicious (my friend Marika literally cried!), it turned into a bit of a cake wreck because I had never made one in a cast iron pan.
So, armed with a bunch of extra pineapple and a little bit of extra time, I tried again. It looks much better this go ‘round, and I can’t wait for it to cool so I can chow down!

Smoked fried chicken sandwich with celery root, watercress slaw, maple pecan dressing & spicy aioli
Braised oxtail ragout with mushroom, pappardelle & manchego
Fennel & arugula salad with ricotta salata & kumquat vinaigrette

Brunch at Applewood today, where Rye got a formidable mountain of yummy (but undersalted) fried chicken and mashed potatoes. My pork belly omelet with butternut squash and confit garlic was also good (and also woefully undersalted), but much less photogenic.
