Fneh food

Had dinner out with E at Hecho en Dumbo on the Bowery. Curious about this place, the rare full-throttle Mexican fine-dining place. Unfortunately, the food was surprisingly not that great. Just because the portion size is small and the presentation neat and orderly, doesn't make up for unremarkable plain ceviche, a mini burrito filled with chorizo, potato and oddly dusty flavored paprika and little else, and deserts whose Mexican influence seems to not get along with the French training of their pastry chef. Oh well, still had a great time because I don't see E often enough.


TODAY'S COOKING:
Iced Tea: 10 bags of jasmine green tea, 5 bags of Himalayan green tea, 3/4 cup sugar.
Pinhead Oats: Made it wish a dash of vanilla sugar, salt, scrapings of a few vanilla beans, cinnamon and a tiny bit of cardamom. Skipped the milk because will add it when it's reheated to serve.
Green Salad with Shrimp: Cooked the shrimp unadorned with a little peanut oil in a caste iron skillet. It's been a while since I've eaten properly cooked shrimp.

Hazelnut shortbread: Invited to a playdate tomorrow, wanted to bring something other than booze. Had some hazelnuts left over from my failed nutella experiment, gonna dip in chocolate tomorrow morning.
