greg and i drove to queens today to have lunch with korrina.
i'm still in the amazement stage that spring is here . .
the queens' trees are all turning green . .
and queens' flowers have been planted in all the sidewalk gardens . .
one of our favorite places . .
jasmine green tea and coffee . .
korrina is teaching herself to crochet lace which is not easy as she's left handed and there aren't many left handed crochet tutorials. i remember trying to teach her to knit when she was a child . . she managed to take my instructions and invert them for herself, but i think that was easier with knitting as you're using both hands.
we began with the citrus salad . .
my chana gwaramari - spiced black chickpeas, sunnyside up eggs, tomato achar, chili oil.
greg had chicken sekuwa - nepalese style chicken bbq served with bara, pickled radish and tomatillo sauce.
korrina had a whole baked eggplant which i cannot find on the online menu and so cannot supply more detail. it looks like it has a yogurt sauce. it was very good and she had it with a slice of their homemade sour dough toast. they sell loaves of their bread and we bought one and sliced it in half back at her apartment.
going for a walk around the neighborhood after lunch . .
oh . . the lilacs!
a photo korrina took during the week of patience and fortitude, nypl's lions, amidst the pale green leaves at the schwarzman research library.
heading home on the bqe . .
reading house of the seven gables . .
working on a baby blanket for milly's owner (she's due in may).
zuzu on her special perch . .
and wash on his.
