path of pleasures: dinner tonight.


Take-out is getting a little old, ergo: I trotted over to Zeytuna and picked up a few things for dinner. I decided to make a prawn saute with salad and bread that I snagged from Zaro (while skipping to the 4 train through Grand Central).


To begin: chop scallions, shave some french sea-salt infused butter and crack some fresh pepper and cayenne over the raw prawns.


Turn the prawns about on a medium-low heat, as to not burn the butter. Bring it to an easy browning. While doing this, I sliced a few pieces of the Panella bread and toasted them.


Pilgrim and Vadim waited (somewhat patiently). Yes, we sat on the floor...


Pour the shrimp, buttery sauce and scallions into a bowl.
Serve with chopsticks.


I put out a mix sushi roll as an appetizer, mascarpone for the toast and dressed the boston lettuce with grape tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, rice vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.


Pilgrim took his place.



(And no, I couldn't resist those eyes, he enjoyed a decent portion as well).

Simple, but tasty.

wow: Liberté Méditerranée Plum & Walnut



Vadim and I shopped for eats at Zeytuna last weekend: where I had carefully sifted through the yogurt section. I selected a container of Liberté Méditerranée Yogourt: Plum and Walnut, fruit on the bottom.

On a last minute thought this morning, I snagged the yogourt and a Fuji apple before dashing through swarms of green to the 4 train.

Upon arrival, I put together a green tea, settled into my desk and opened my outlook. I reached for the Plum and Walnut and peeled the lid off. This looks good. I dipped my spoon in. Oh wow. This is the best yogourt that I have ever had. Better than Brown Cow Whole Milk, better than Chobani. This is it.
