June Dump!

The Waxing Crescent. I am enjoying photographing the waning and waxing phases as their partial illumination and stark black is so beautiful.

Cookies for Mom. Ghiradelli finally makes vegan chocolate chips. They’re yummy of course… because they’re chocolate chips

Soft dough… maybe because of the humidity

They flattened out a great deal.

Beach day at Coney Island! Gut in better shape and it shows on my body. Detox yourself!

A stroll through the amusements. Ah, the Swing Ride…

On another trip to Coney Island now… with my students.

Nothing says summer like Coney Island

I like to make tacos a lot. Because of all you can utilize in their variety. This is roasted cauliflower.

A stop at Ayat for their vegan platter. So delicious…

Now on Staten Island pre-metal show. We’re at New Dosa Garden. This is Sambar Vada, lentil donuts.

My plain dosa… I don’t know why there was no more filling. Very odd.

Eating a lot at my favorite Thai spot… Jai Dee. As usual, the Pad See Ew

They call it “Sticky rice stuffed banana” but I know it as Khao Tom Mat. My favorite street food from Thailand.

Just as I remember…

More tacos!

Speaking of tacos… my taco fanny pack!!

A pumpkin chocolate chip cake because I wanted a sweet bite. 🙂 Then I brought it to my friend so I wouldn’t eat so much sugar.

Savoring a final pistachio chocolate chip cookie (more forbidden sweetness) from Yardsale. What am I going to do without these?

A fantastic batch of tofu scramble, recipe from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken

Back at Jai Dee on the last day of school. I will miss the food more than most of the people. Goodbye, Park Slope.

My Mom’s vintage barware, one of my favorite vintage pieces

First haul in a huge Chevy Suburban… I managed to wield this enormous thing pretty well despite feeling pretty nervous at first

The moon again… hazy with the.. er… haze.

Summer time freckles coming in… and the red hair.

Hello, July!
