Have you seen this article from the NY Times about Kimber VanRy?

I have to say, though, as a public defender, I'm actually kind of glad that you got a summons. After years of seeing my clients come through the system for minor violations of the law - things that I could do in my neighborhood like have a beer on my stoop or put my feet up on the subway - I am beyond thrilled to hear an officer say that he recognizes his duty to enforce the law equally.

With fresh figs!

NY Strip!

My mom's creamed corn stuffing!

I could probably do one... I hope!

The multigrain bread from Hot Bread Kitchen. Sooo good!

Jordan's Lobster Dock in Island Park?

Margaritas for sure.

Adam, Tom's used to be closed on Sundays, but they're open every day now. They do close at 4 pm, though.

I usually take my parents to Beast on Vanderbilt for brunch. The food is reliably good, the space is comfortable and there's rarely a wait.

Biscuits and gravy! Every time I'm in the south, I *have* to have biscuits and gravy at least once...

Torrisi!

When my mom had cancer, she didn't have to go through chemo, but she did suffer from a lot of post-surgery and painkiller-induced nausea. I remember she used lavender oil to fight the nausea, as well as ginger chews, ginger syrup, ginger ale. L'Occitane makes a wonderful hand cream with real lavender oil that seemed to help a bit, and we would give her hand massages with it.

Also, I don't know if this is helpful, but when I had my wisdom teeth out and couldn't eat solid food for a bit, I ate a lot of pureed veggie soups with sour cream or marscarpone cheese blended in for a little extra protein boost. Trader Joe's sells different vegetable based soups in cartons with pour spouts - the carrot ginger and butternut squash ones are really delicious.

Best of luck in your treatment. My thoughts are with you.

Eggs nova and a salad.
