Tipsy Parson
Saturday afternoon we tried Tipsy Parson, a cute little restaurant in Chelsea I've been anxious to go to ever since I heard about their fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, glazed pork ribs with sorghum-mustard glaze, the list goes on...
Charmingly lumpy pumpkins (or are they gourds?) on the bar.
If you were in New York, you know what a beautiful fall weekend we had. Time spent indoors felt like punishment. Except for the hour we spent at Tipsy Parson devouring the treats below! Check it out if you're in their hood.
Fried green tomato with bibb lettuce and spicy buttermilk dressing and pancetta

Miike is Right
Things that are getting me through this morning:
- My grande soy pumpkin spice latte (thanks to Katy for the Sbux gift card.)
- My H&M poncho, yes that's right poncho. I somehow convinced myself it was appropriate for work and it's wonderful, like wearing a blanket.
- The knowledge that a nap is coming my way at 6:30pm.
- Friday Flowers which will be posted shortly.
- My Snickers mini which I just found in my purse and I'm allowing myself to eat for breakfast.
- Eye drops.
- ADVIL.
All in the name of Miike Snow (not a typo.) Twas awesome, one of the better shows I've seen this year. This is when they first came on stage at Terminal 5 last night and the energy was through the roof. Be sure to watch until the end, the lights were really cool too.

Egg in the Hole
Tonight is the perfect night for breakfast for dinner, see below....
Pioneer Woman's recipe for Egg in the Hole makes me happy and hungry
It tastes even better if you have a signed copy. Okay, not really, now I'm just bragging...
Red wine-this will help you relax a little about the calories you're about to consume.
See...a couple of tbsps of butter...trust me, pour yourself another sip of that wine and you won't notice.
Cut holes in your bread and soak in the butter for a minute.
Since I used whole wheat lite bread which has thinner slices, the egg overflowed. This is not necessarily a problem. But I might try it with thick slices of sourdough or french next time to contain the egg a little better. Also, if you're not a good egg cracker, i.e always end up fishing out the shell, crack each egg first in a separate bowl and then pour each into the hole in the bread. Oh, and salt and pepper like there's no tomorrow.
Flip it yo!
Before I took them out of the skillet, I was extra bad and laid a slice of American cheese on top...
bad but oh so good...
Ketchup was also added at some point. Good decision.
Gonna do this again very soon, I encourage you to also! Only 5 ingredients :)

Friday Flowers (13)
It's been a while since I've done a Friday Flowers post. I think I got a little burned out on them. What do you think? Have you missed them? Must have more flowers? Well here's a few I've been saving up, mostly from well-wishers while I was sick over the past few weeks. Each bouquet was beautiful and my tiny apartment has been taken over by their fragrance (in a great, great way.)
These are from a wine club party I hosted the first day I was sick. I couldn't drink any wine, couldn't take any good party pictures, I was fading fast...but these flowers didn't, they lasted almost two weeks!
Purple is my favorite.
My sweet friend Katelyn sent this adorable arrangement. I'm saving the basket for Easter.
Here's a tiny glimpse of my lovely Lenox Hill room. KTW brought the hydrangeas, pumpkins from mom, card from sister Brookie, the inside says "Heal!"
More hydrangeas at home from mom.
Flowers from the office. The lillies in this smell amazing.
A few days later, mom reconfigured some of the flowers, I loved what she did with this one.
And this one. Two days ago, my friend Emily sent more flowers! I'm a lucky girl, I feel like I live in a flower shop right now :) Happy weekend!
