After our trip to Waco, Tex and I went up to New York City to visit my mom and some friends. A few days before meeting Tex in NYC I was able to fly up to Rochester, NY and see my grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was the first time I have gotten to see them since Tex and I got married in 2008. Everyone is doing well and my little cousins are getting so big! When Tex arrived in NYC we pretty much went on an eating tour around the city. Tex was very adventurous and tried all kinds of new food; I think he liked mostly all of it. We had Indian, French, Korean, Japanese, and Thai. By far the craziest thing he ate was Steak Tartare. This is chopped up RAW beef. It had capers, red onion and garlic mixed in. If that wasn't enough it comes with a raw egg yolk that is poured on top. I don't know what is more surprising the fact that we both actually liked it or the fact that we didn't get sick. I got to see my best friend from college, Sophie, Rosie, a friend and former co-worker, and we met up with Morningside Church, the Korean church that was just down in Mexico on a mission trip at the end of July. We also had brunch with Hannah, John and Baby Danny before church! They are all doing well. We got to go to Morningside's Sunday afternoon service and they treated us to a wonderful authentic Korean BBQ lunch afterwards. It was sooo good. It was also pretty adventurous because they bring out red hot coals to grill the meat on that seems dangerously close from falling on someone's head when they lift onto the table. The Korean style is so great; it's all based on a lot of different sides to eat with your rice and meat. It's all family style, even the soup is in one big pot that is shared with the table. It lots of different vegetables, flavors and a nice amount of spice! Thanks so much to Pastor Mark, his wife Christina, Tom, Ellen, Peter, Jesse, and Sam for taking us to a wonderful lunch!! It was a short trip but it was so great to see family and friends. Thanks mom for putting us up and treating us to so many meals! We love you.
After Saturday morning Brunch in the East Village with Sophie, Rosie, and Faris! So great to see them! Pretty sure Rosie will have her own magazine (or at least a column) before she leaves NYC.
Indian food for lunch in Midtown Manhattan
Korean BBQ in K-Town with Morningside
With our lovely hosts after lunch! Whitney and her friend Martha happened to be in NYC at the same time! We got to meet up on Sunday for church and lunch.
By far one of the weirdest (and grossest) things we ate was at a little bakery/dessert place called Milk. They have the most delicious cookies but very odd flavors of soft serve ice cream.
Purple Drink, Cereal Milk, Creamed Corn, and BBQ. All were disgusting on various levels.
