A visit to the Big Apple!
Believe it or not, Chicken Mama and Farmer Jeff have flown the coop and landed in the big Apple during a cold snap and BOY IS IT COLD!!!
Farmer Jeff was invited to cook a dinner at the James Beard House on February 10th so we are here in town now to scout where we will find the remaining ingredients (masa harina, ripe mangoes and ripe avocados!). We brought 2 ice chests wrapped in packing tape and prayed the whole while that we would not arrive at baggage claim to see ancho chile sauce splattered over all of the luggage! Thankfully, we did NOT.
After a ride in a renegade mercedes taxi (and agreeing that we won't ever to THAT again) we dropped out luggage at our dear friend Peggy's apartment and bopped out to grab a bite. Mind you...we got out the door at 10 pm and with a light breeze, it had to have been barely 11 degrees...and then with the breeze...well COLD. I can't seem to accurately describe it without swearing!!! We walked around the blocks looking for an open restaurant and ended up at a so so barbecue restaurant where some guy was hanging out with his kitten on a leash. Okay...this is NYC...we sure aren't in Kansas, Toto!
I will do my best to write a daily account of our visit to the big island (manhattan!)and let y'all know what we are up to!
