Random Bites in October

It's definitely fall out there. Still nice enough to sleep with the windows open a crack, but it's time for the down comforter to come out.



I was never a conventional girl.
Even my tuna sandwich has to be different.


I seared a leftover tuna steak and put some mayo and homemade tapenade on top that made for a great lunch.



I baked that terrific no butter, no oil cake, from Mango & Tomato.
It just has a tablespoon of yogurt for moisture. Instead of the peaches and blueberries, I made her mom's original recipe w/ apples and raisins.

Hard to believe this cake is that moist and delicious without the addition of fat!




We ate at Jim Leahy's (owner of Sullivan Street Bakery) pizzeria called Co.
His bread is my personal favorite in NYC, and his pizza is pretty good too.
They have good salads and a great wine list.


We had a sausage with fennel with fresh bufala mozzarella, and also a roasted cauliflower, olive, garlic and mozzarella pizza. Each pie is about 9" and has those wonderful burned bubbles. Check it out when you are visiting the city.

Not your everyday pie.
Co. located at 230 9th Ave. on the corner of 24th St. in Chelsea.



Happy October!
