i planned on having a kale salad and sausages when i returned home with chanda. it was nice to find korrina there and she helped me prepare the meal.
she told me a little about her work at the restaurant while browning the sausages.
they use all local produce and other products from the union square green market, and sometimes freeze fruit that may be going out of season (i think they froze summer berries and peaches). i also found it funny and cute that they call their boss "chef" (you can read about him here). he seems to be a nice boss and i haven't heard any complaints about him. i think he leaves his head managers to do most of the work and doesn't really bother them, which is probably wise when you have four restaurants you're running.
korrina is also pleased as she has found an apartment to move into, with two nice roommates. she'll probably start moving her stuff in the next two weeks. it's in bushwick, a neighborhood she likes as families and friends still like to laugh and talk together on their front stoops, and there are a lot of mom and pop delis and bodegas.
morgana was still out babysitting . .
a delicious meal . . the flower is from the wildflower garden in the courtyard.
How is his English? I'm just curious. Does he miss Vienna?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to ask her about his English! How could one NOT miss Vienna? Though I do know a Viennese woman who said she liked the relaxed atmosphere of NYC, and thought Vienna too stiff.
DeleteMy friend in Vienna, who is married to an Austrian, said that Vienna has really changed over the last years. It's not so Austrian anymore, more cosmopolitan. I didn't find it stiff at all.
Deleteyes, i never found it stiff either . . but then i never lived there. i did think it was an interesting comment.
DeleteMaybe it depends on where you live and whom do you associate with.
