Weekend in Photos


It was a sugar-filled weekend. I spent Saturday morning in the kitchen baking a chocolate cake, which deserves its own attention, so more on that later in the week. Saturday night, the husband and I went out for Indian food followed by a visit to the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, a food truck which recently opened a permanent shop in the East Village. It's just soft-serve ice cream, but it's topped with things like dulce de leche, sea salt, chocolate, Nilla Wafer crumbs, toasted curried coconut, pumpkin butter and more. And when you order, you say things like, "I'll have a Salty Pimp and a Bea Arthur." Hilarious and delicious.

  4. I've always wanted to go to Big Gay. Anthony Bourdain blessed their new shop on opening day and you get to use Bea Arthur's name. Nuff said.

    Sounds like a perfect weekend!
