On the Spice Trail

While hurrying home one chilly night, we got hit with a warm wave of delicious smelling curry. The next night we were sitting inside Mehfil having a super cozy and delicious meal with Geoff. We ordered saag paneer (my go-to fav comfort Indian dish), Chicken Biryani, Vegetable Jalfrazie, Lamb Kurma, and a naan. Everything was so um um good satisfying. I am relieved to actually find an Indian restaurant two blocks from the new place that I can say is really good.

Candace and Nina, we should have go for the buffet one weekend!

Domestic

As someone whose favorite shelter magazine (Domino) shut down many months ago, I had been saddened and at a loss for a replacement. While reading some older entries of design*sponge yesterday (I'm pretty behind on all of my blog readings and postings), I discovered (or was pointed to) the new online mag, Lonny. While having an online magazine is not nearly as satisfying as a physical one, the content of Lonny in quality is right up there with what Domino used to be (and basically put together by just 4 talented people). Lonny was started by those who worked on Domino and has contributors and interviews from Domino associates, so it has made me one happy reader.

I'm also super psyched that design*sponge is slated to come out with a book later this month with a bunch of DIY ideas and house tours. And all this leads to a minor announcement: I passed the co-op board! I am purchasing a co-op in Jackson Heights next month so I'm super excited to gather ideas and embark on a domestic journey.
