A Very Cherry New York Christmas

We bought these beautiful cherries on the street in Chinatown last night, after dinner at Joe's Shanghai.
Lucy realized at dinner that she was wearing a lot of pink, for her.
We wish you all were here with us....

...but we would have had to wait even longer for a table.

A visit to "The Tree" at Rockefeller Plaza on the way to see an excellent play at Lincoln Center (with Stockard Channing, Stacy Keach, and Linda Lavin---Lucy didn't even come close to falling asleep!) all made for a very New York Christmas.
The Time Warner Building, Bank of America Tower, and of course the swanky stores on Madison and 5th are all decorated beautifully. And although most of the theatres were dark for Christmas, there were still tons of people in a very cold Times Square at 11 pm---what's that about?
Today we're snuggling in---Lucy with her iPad and me with two new cookbooks I can't wait to devour and tell you more about---amidst two-day blizzard warnings, with the snow slated to start at noon and add 30- to 40- mile winds this evening.
Tonight is supposed to be Lucy's "Red Carpet" affair in Manhattan but it looks like Mother Nature may have other plans for all those 16-year-olds. Happy Boxing Day!

Life is Just a Bowl of...

Am I the only person who has eaten my weight in cherries over the past month? Thanks a lot, Whole Paycheck. At least they did mark them down to $1.99 per pound FOR ONE STINKIN' DAY, and the price has moderated somewhat since the very first of the season. But the truth is, it doesn't matter. I can't resist them at any price. Just when I think I've surely OD'd on them, I find myself with another little plastic bag in my hand and a $20 bill to pay for them. At least a google search tells me cherries have multiple health benefits and tons of nutritional value, So There. But I'm the person who once a year even wants one of those yukky old Cherry Mash candy bars-eeeeeew. Do you think they still make those? Maybe gas stations sell them.
