Hot in the City

Whole lotta hot out there in the Big City. Be sure to stay hydrated kiddos! Drink plenty of water, lay off the caffeine & alcohol, find some shade, wear sunblock, you know the drills.

I think Oysters, especially Blue Points from Long Island's North Fork are about as patriotic as you can get. There's are from Claudio's in Greenport. 

Hope you've had a good 4th!!

I love Glam!

I confess...my inbox gets a little...cluttered. I love getting newsletters & updates from other websites, blogs, stores, etc. I recently started reading Glam, a network of all things fabulous. Glam has it all - hollywood gossip, fashion, beauty, and best of all food & recipes! 

Today's glam.com newsletter is Recipe Roundup - "because food should always be fabulous". Love that! Anyway, it links to some great recipes for the Fourth of July weekend from  hostessblog - cocktails, breakfast, burgers - yummy. Check them out! 

Both Glam and Hostessblog have so much content it'd be easy to waste a few hours browsing all the great ideas & articles. So grab a cool drink & settle in :) 

Picnics

There is nothing better than a picnic! The NYTimes Dining & Wine section has a great list of suggestions of foods to make for your next picnic...
