It’s Jam Making Time Again!
Summer returned to New York City this week. Yesterday, the mercury topped 82 degrees, which is unheard of for mid-October. New Yorkers are soaking up the “July in October” weather, walking around in summer clothing and eating lunch in the parks.
Even though the weather is unusually warm, it’s wonderful to see apartment buildings and shops adorned with autumn decor. Even corner bodegas decorate with pumpkins and and scarecrows. This is one of the things that I love about New York City!

I don’t know about you, but I for one, am tired of the constant stream of political rhetoric and, hey, it’s still early. Perhaps we should all just have an ongoing pizza party until after the election. I’d vote for that!
One of the things that I love about New York City is the abundance of interesting signs. I love this sign that describes spring so well.

This afternoon I was down in the west village and stopped into Citarella Gourmet Market on 6th Avenue. The place was packed to the gefilte fish with midday shoppers who seemed to be mostly shopping for tomorrow evening’s Passover dinner. I was surprised to see that they were selling prepared Seder Plates complete with hard-boiled egg, lamb shank bone, haroseth, horseradish, parsley, and watercress. Just goes to show that I learn a lot when I leave my apartment and go on little adventures in the city.
It’s finally the most perfect weather ever and it’s nice to see the fruit and vegetable vendors set up on the street corners. I say hello to this friendly vendor in the mornings when I’m on my way to the gym.
I needed ingredients for a dinner that I’m making for Friday evening and am fortunate enough to live near Grand Central Station, which is where the beautiful Grand Central Market is located. I don’t go there often enough, but when I do go I’m always happy to see what’s available. I never go, however, before 3pm as it’s typically packed with the lunch crowd and tourists before then.

This is the kind of stuff one sees walking home from the gym on April Fools Day.
Bill Buford YOU Rock! I am savoring every morsel of this book!
